Is Promotional Work a Good Fit For You?
Written by Kate Eaves – Talent Manager, Flavor.
With the demand for face-to-face interactions growing exponentially for 2022, there has never been a better time to join the Flavor family.
As an agency, we are only ever as strong as our field staff. Being the first point of contact for consumers using direct sampling channels, our brand ambassadors represent not only Flavor, but also become the face of the iconic brands we represent. In order for us to recruit and retain only the best promotional staff, it is so important for us to be progressive and collaborative in the way that we work: from providing industry leading rates, to offering a wide range of opportunities through a varied client portfolio.
However, we are always open to hear from new applicants. Our current database of promotional staff come from all walks of life: from the promo legends who have been with us since day one, to budding marketeers who are cutting their teeth into the industry. What sets them apart is a tenacious attitude and commitment in working with us to achieve the best results. If you are reliable, motivated and have the confidence to hit the ground at full speed whilst working on our innovative campaigns, promotional work could be great fit for you.
For Students
Student sampling has always been a prominent and extremely well received form of marketing. However, we are also inundated with students who are interested in working with us, as we provide flexible opportunities to work alongside studies. In particular, those studying courses such as Marketing and Event Management can effectively learn on the job, with exposure to big brands and the tools that they use to successfully communicate and engage with their consumers.
For Performers
Promotional work goes hand in hand with performers. With the dynamic way the entertainment industry works, brand ambassador work is a reliable and flexible source of income to fall back on during quieter seasons. When they’re not busy treading the boards or on the silver screen, we get the benefit of having wonderful staff members as part of our team, whose energy and enthusiasm bring our campaigns to life.
As a Side Hustle
Applications for new businesses are at an all-time high and up to a third of employees are now becoming their own boss. In those first integral years of growing a new business, promotional work can be a great salary supplement to guarantee all the basics are covered. Not to mention, we love seeing entrepreneurial spirit in our staff members, as we can guarantee you’ll be motivated, pioneering and have the strong leadership skills required to help make our campaigns a success.
Secondary Income
With so many companies adopting the remote working model (like us!) and more working from home benefits added to more traditional employers, we have noticed that many staff members are choosing to pick up additional, more customer focused work alongside their normal 9-5. After long days in front of a screen, nothing beats getting out into the field for some hands-on experience and face-to-face interaction through channels such as Guerilla sampling and experiential campaigns.
For Freelancers
Of course, we can’t forget to mention the Freelancers, who live and breathe our brands working in promotions full-time. With the multiple benefits that this brings, we pride ourselves on being people’s agency of choice with the way we work. Quality in the field is rewarded to make sure we retain our staffing superstars, as we love to make our work a collaborative affair; our success is your success.
It is so integral for us to put together outstanding and charismatic field teams, who are aligned in our values. In return, we love getting to know our staff members on a personal basis, so they can be assured that they will be supported by us whenever they need. But don’t take our word for it, look at what a lovely brand ambassador recently had to say about working with us:
“I’ve got to say that you pick people REALLY WELL! Everyone was so lovely, so hardworking and so much fun. I really hope that I can work with you and the gang again soon!” Amy, Brand Ambassador
