Driven by Mazda NZ:
As a brand ambassador for Mazda, Riley not only endorses their vehicles, he believes in their brand, which is an all encompassing machine in itself. From media campaigns to charitable school makeovers called Treemendous, Riley shares the same values as Mazda NZ, those of public engagement for mutualistic but often charitable purposes.
Riley ambassadors the BT-50 truck, attends in alignment with Project Crimson, Mazda's Treemendous school makeovers, and Riley works to help generate digital content that reflects his passion not only for the vehicles or charitable events, but also the wider public involved, from contest winners, youth inspiration or simple fun with other Mazda NZ ambassadors skidding around a racetrack.
