Tessa Virtue becomes the new brand ambassador of the AIR MILES Reward Program
TORONTO, Feb. 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Today, the AIR MILES Reward Program announced a new collaboration with Olympic and World Champion Ice Dancer, Tessa Virtue. As one of the most celebrated and decorated athletes in Canadian history, the most Googled Canadian in 2018 and all-around national symbol, Tessa will show Canadians how she gets the most out of the Program whether between practices on the ice or during down time with friends and family.
A three-time world champion and avid AIR MILES Collector, Tessa, as the new brand ambassador for the Program, will show Collectors how they can get Miles and use them towards a variety of rewards including music, sporting, travel and culinary experiences or merchandise.
This exciting new collaboration brings together a beloved Canadian icon and a truly Canadian brand. Tessa, in connecting with Collectors nationwide, will help highlight offers as well as different facets of the Program.
"We're thrilled to be collaborating with a name every Canadian knows and loves. As an AIR MILES Collector herself, Tessa can help us show Canadians how they can get the most out of their AIR MILES experience," said Rachel MacQueen, VP Marketing, the AIR MILES Reward Program. "We're committed to providing our Collectors with unique and memorable experiences and our collaboration with Tessa is a great way for us to connect with our Collectors and profile the wide range of rewards available to them."
"As an active Collector, I am excited to be joining the AIR MILES team as a brand ambassador," said Tessa Virtue. "Whether I'm shopping online, planning for dinner with friends or picking up everyday necessities, I love knowing I'm getting Miles for purchases I would be making anyway. With so many Partner locations across Canada and online, getting closer to a reward is that much easier."
