On October 28, 2022, LOUD announced the digital influencer Iran Ferreira, better known as Luva de Pedreiro, as an ambassador.[7] Before joining LOUD, Iran was already popularly known around the world, especially in the football scene, where he has already received attention from players like Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.[8][9][10]
