Karol G’s relationship with Reebok is already proving lucrative. The Colombian musician announced her new role as an ambassador for Reebok through a TikTok post, generating $1.1 million in Media Impact Value (MIV) in 48 hours and increasing the brand’s MIV by 239 percent, per data from Launchmetrics.
As global brand ambassador, Karol G will be featured in Reebok’s storytelling, content and upcoming global activations, including the new “Born Classic. Worn for Life.” campaign.
“I’m so excited to join the Reebok family,” Karol G said in a statement. “I’ve been wearing Reeboks for as long as I can remember, so becoming a global brand ambassador feels like a full-circle moment. Reebok Classics have a rich foundation and heritage in style, which is really important to me when it comes to fashion, and I love that I’ll get to be part of the brand’s story and show the world how I take Reebok with me wherever I go.”
