EXCLUSIVE: Gucci’s New Thailand Brand Ambassador is Billkin

Billkin, whose real name is Putthipong Assaratanakul, was recently announced as the new brand ambassador for the renowned Italian fashion house, Gucci. This appointment marks a significant milestone in Billkin's career, making him the third Thai celebrity to represent the luxury brand.

Born on March 15, 1994, in Bangkok, Thailand, Billkin began his career in show business at a young age. He first gained recognition in 2012 when he competed in the popular Thai reality talent show, "Thailand's Got Talent." Although he did not win the competition, his exceptional singing abilities caught the attention of several record labels, leading him to sign a contract with GMM Grammy, one of Thailand's leading music companies.

Since then, Billkin has released numerous singles and albums, many of which have topped the charts in Thailand. His music genre primarily consists of pop and R&B, which resonates well with his fans, particularly the younger generation. In addition to his music career, Billkin has also ventured into acting, appearing in various Thai dramas and films.

Gucci's decision to appoint Billkin as their brand ambassador comes at an opportune time, given his growing popularity in Thailand and his strong connection with the younger demographic. This collaboration is expected to help Gucci expand its reach in the Southeast Asian market while also strengthening its presence among the younger generation.

Previously, two other prominent Thai celebrities have represented Gucci as brand ambassadors – actresses Urassaya Sperbund and Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying (Jame APee Jirakul). Their successful tenures have undoubtedly contributed to Gucci's growing popularity in Thailand. With Billkin joining their ranks, the Italian fashion house aims to continue its growth trajectory in this market.

In conclusion, Billkin's appointment as Gucci's new brand ambassador signifies a strategic move by the luxury fashion house to tap into the growing influence of Thai celebrities and their fanbase. As a talented singer and actor with a strong following, Billkin's collaboration with Gucci is expected to further boost the brand's presence in Thailand and beyond.
