What is it like to be a NETELLER hero?

Becoming a NETELLER brand ambassador was not an easy decision. So I was lucky that it wasn’t much of a decision at all. When I was “voluntold” to become the next face of NETELLER, only Alan, Danielle, and Clark had come before me. I was kind of nervous about it, because I knew I had a lot to live up to. Especially in regards to Alan… he’s so @$%# cool!

At the time, NETELLER was doing a facelift on its brand, so I was concerned about whether or not I would fit into this new image. Bold, confident, hip, smart, edgy, and clever??? Yikes!

The transformation from mild-mannered employee to full on NETELLER hero put me through a mix of emotions. Do a photo shoot?!? FUN!!! Promote NETELLER?!? Yes, please! Sign a waiver and forfeit all rights over the use of your photographs? Okay, wait a minute…

But I don’t regret doing it for a second. Overnight, I became a lunchroom celebrity. I knew things were going to be different for me when I walked into the office and saw my face on a NETELLER banner in the kitchen and then on a wall-sized panel with 5 other ambassadors at the employee entrance. After that, people from around the office just seemed to know my name. “Hey Jen, what’s a one-inch punch?” It was kind of flattering!

As I became only the second hero on the NETELLER website, I started to feel a sense of competition with Alan. Who had the most visibility? Who had the most fans? He was up on the home page first – advantage Alan. I was the face of the VIP program – advantage me. He was on the cover of the deck of playing cards and I was the Joker – tie game.

What about you? Are you ready to join the competition? Submit your entry to NETELLER’s Be a hero contest and you could become the next face of NETELLER.

In the meantime, let us know who you prefer between Alan and me. Although I think we all know the answer to that.
