Emma was obviously excited at the prospect of her becoming the ambassador for Porsche. She said, 

“For me to be a brand ambassador for Porsche means a lot,”

“Porsche is one of the brands I’ve always loved from a young age”

It’s really important for me to align with partners and brands that I really feel passionate about and that I identify with. I think this partnership with Porsche is incredible and obviously, I’m really excited to see what sort of exciting things we can do going forwards.”  

Oliver Blume, the chairman of the executive board at Porsche AT was also very excited at the prospect of Emma joining them. He said, 

“We’re delighted to welcome Emma Raducanu in the Porsche family as a Brand Ambassador,”

 “She embodies not only a new generation of strong and self-confident players but, as a personality, is also an inspiration and role model beyond the realms of her sport for young women all over the world.”

“Through her own life, she exemplifies that one can achieve one’s goals if one believes in oneself and is prepared to work hard. She’s, therefore, an excellent fit for Porsche and the values for which the company stands.”
