Brand Ambassador</p><p>According to
the press release in Polish seen by Finance Magnates, the broker announced the acquisition of a new ambassador this week. However, the campaign is so far not running
in all markets. For example, information about it is not available on the XTB
UK website or the international version, but can be found on the XTB website
aimed at Polish or Spanish retail traders.</p><p>”I am
extremely proud to be the face of a brand like XTB – one of the best global
investment companies. In football, as in finance, you need training, good
support and a winner’s mentality,” Iker Casillas commented in the press
release.</p><p>Casillas,

teaming up with some of the biggest names in the sports world, such as recently <a href=”https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/brokers/xtb-announces-collaboration-with-conor-mcgregor/” target=”_blank” rel=”follow”>appointed Conor McGregor, UFC two-weight champion</a>. With more than 70 million

Jedrzejczyk, Polish martial arts fighter and former UFC champion, and Jiří
Procházka, Czech mixed former UFC featherweight champion, are two other renowned
athletes from the martial arts world who became the brand ambassadors. </p><p>”When
I was still a professional footballer, I made simple investments, usually
listening to my advisors. After I retired, I became interested in more complex
and innovative projects, such as the accelerator that helps some sports-related
startups grow. I always say that there is a lot of talent in Spain that
deserves a chance,” Casillas answered the question about his trading
experience.</p><p>In the
past, Casillas’ former coach, <a href=”https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/brokers/xtb-signs-football-coach-jose-mourinho-as-brand-ambassador/” target=”_blank” rel=”follow”>José Mourinho, has also been XTB’s brand
ambassador</a>. The selector’s contract was signed at the end of 2020. </p><p>XTB is
known for liking to bet on well-known faces and names more often than sponsoring
specific sports teams to build brand awareness. In 2016, Mads Mikkelsen, the big-screen star, <a href=”https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/brokers/xtb-ceo-judging-ipo-effects-after-only-few-months-would-be-inappropriate/” target=”_blank” rel=”follow”>became the brand ambassador</a>. Some people
may also remember XTB’s <a href=”https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/brokers/xtb-is-on-a-roll-interview-with-ceo-jakub-zablocki/” target=”_blank” rel=”follow”>high-profile collaboration with Formula 1 from 2012</a> when the
brokerage became a partner of the then-Vodafone Mercedes team. </p>
