# Ambassadors & partners
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/promote-grow/partners

Three admin-managed content types that power the marketing surface. An ambassador loyalty programme rewarding active users, partner brand listings with subscriber benefits (now managed via partnerships), and user testimonials shown on the landing page.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

Aden has three related content types for building community and trust:

**Ambassador programme**, a loyalty scheme for power users. Aden defines one or more programmes with a set of tasks (upload tracks, refer friends, use certain features). Users who complete enough tasks to reach a score threshold earn a reward, either a free plan upgrade or a Polar discount code. You keep the reward as long as you stay active; if your score drops, you have a grace period before it is removed.

**Partners**, companies that have teamed up with Aden. Each partner can expose a subscriber benefit (e.g. a discount or free trial). The partners page shows public partners; featured partners appear in a highlighted grid. Since 2026-07 these are platform-owned rows in the shared `partnerships` PRM (see the partnerships feature doc), the old `partners` table is deprecated.

**Testimonials**: short quotes from real users, optionally linked to their Aden team. Admins curate which ones appear on the landing page and which are featured.

## Using it [#using-it]

### Joining the ambassador programme [#joining-the-ambassador-programme]

1. Go to your team dashboard and open the **Ambassador** tab (or find the panel on your account page).
2. Read the programme description and task list. Each task shows its weight (how many score points it is worth) and whether it is required.
3. Click **Join** and select the team you want to represent.
4. Complete the tasks. Automated tasks (event counts, team state checks, referral counts) are evaluated automatically. Self-check tasks are tasks you mark complete yourself. They operate on the honour system.
5. Once your score meets the threshold, click **Apply reward** to activate your plan benefit or discount.

### Changing your representative team [#changing-your-representative-team]

Open the ambassador panel and select a different team from the team picker. Your score re-evaluates immediately against the new team's state.

### Checking your score [#checking-your-score]

The ambassador panel shows your current score, the threshold, each task's status, and the deadline for recurring tasks (daily/weekly/monthly windows reset automatically).
