What Is A Student Ambassador?

Student ambassadors are college students hired to promote the brand they are working with, both on campus and through social media. Whether it’s hosting pop-up events, handing out samples or creating digital content, student ambassadors help bring national brands to student audiences in an authentic way.

Student brand ambassadorships benefit both sides. Students are able to gain hands-on experience by working directly with a brand and developing marketing skills, all while still in college. The brands, on the other hand, are able to form connections with students across many colleges by having them promote their products. It’s a win-win situation for all parties.

The Perks

Being a student ambassador comes with many unique perks you might not get anywhere else. Free merchandise from popular brands is always nice, but student ambassador programs are a perfect resume booster. Student ambassadors can gain professional experience by collaborating with a brand and working on marketing campaigns tailored to their school.

Some partnerships even offer travel opportunities or access to exclusive events. Whether you’re hosting giveaways or representing a brand at an event, the experience provides a taste of real-world marketing before graduation.

Popular Student Ambassador Brands

As influencer culture and Generation Z continue to play a major role in marketing campaigns, many brands are turning to student ambassadors to promote their products. Fashion and lifestyle brands like Princess Polly, Victoria’s Secret and Lululemon often send ambassadors free items to promote themselves on social media. They will also provide ambassadors with personal discount codes to share.

Beauty brands like Bubble Skincare provide ambassadors with challenges they need to complete in order to gain points toward new products and earn commission. Celsius and Poppi have large student ambassador programs, which offer students free merchandise and a supply of drinks for campus events.

Locally, Doggie’s Pub has embraced Penn State’s student-life culture by involving students in curating social media content in exchange for discounted drinks.

From merchandise to future career connections, student ambassador programs have proven to be more than just a side hustle — they are also a beneficial way to jumpstart your career.
