The announcement, made on Tuesday, following the release of rolex’s “Reach for the Crown” campaign. The actor, alongside other brand ambassadors, stars in the video ad currently on YouTube, which is scheduled to premiere on television this Sunday during the 2025 Academy Awards commercials.

DiCaprio, known for his critically acclaimed roles in films such as Titanic, The Revenant, and The Wolf of Wall Street, is also celebrated for his commitment to environmental causes.

In a statement, DiCaprio expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, "Rolex's dedication to excellence and its commitment to preserving our planet resonate deeply with me. I am honored to represent a brand that values innovation, tradition, and sustainability."

What Does It Take to Become a Brand Ambassador? Key Agreements to Consider

Becoming a brand ambassador, especially for a prestigious company like Rolex, involves more than just a handshake and a photo op. It requires a series of carefully negotiated agreements to ensure both parties are aligned in their goals and responsibilities. Here are some of the key agreements a person should sign before becoming a brand ambassador:

1. Endorsement Agreement:
   This is the cornerstone of any brand ambassadorship. It outlines the terms of the partnership, including the duration of the contract, the ambassador's responsibilities, and the compensation structure. It also specifies the exclusivity clause, which may prevent the ambassador from endorsing competing brands.

2. Code of Conduct Clause:
   Brands often include a code of conduct clause to ensure the ambassador's behavior aligns with the company's values. This may cover public appearances, social media activity, and personal conduct. For a brand like Rolex, which prides itself on elegance and integrity, this clause is particularly important.

3. Intellectual Property Agreement:
   This agreement governs the use of the ambassador's name, image, and likeness in the brand's marketing materials. It ensures that the ambassador's persona is used in a way that aligns with their personal brand and values.

4. Confidentiality Agreement:
   A confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement (NDA) protects sensitive information about the brand's strategies, products, and campaigns. This ensures that proprietary information remains secure.

5. Termination Clause:
   This outlines the conditions under which either party can terminate the agreement. It may include provisions for breach of contract, failure to meet performance metrics, or changes in the ambassador's public image.

6. Social Media and Marketing Obligations:
   In today's digital age, brand ambassadors are often required to promote the brand on their social media platforms. This agreement specifies the number of posts, the type of content, and the frequency of promotions.

7. Appearance and Event Commitments:
   Ambassadors are typically required to attend events, photo shoots, and promotional campaigns. This agreement details the number of appearances expected and any associated travel or accommodation arrangements.

8. Performance Metrics:
   Some agreements include performance-based incentives tied to sales targets, brand visibility, or social media engagement. This ensures the ambassador is actively contributing to the brand's success.

    

For Leonardo DiCaprio, whose global influence and commitment to sustainability align seamlessly with Rolex's values, this partnership is a match made in luxury heaven.
