Last month, we talked about exactly how to land your dream brand ambassador gig and get started. If you need to catch up, you can find the link here before reading on: Brand Ambassador 101.
You’ve now created your Assist Marketing profile—congrats!
Now you’re ready to take the next step and land your first brand ambassador gig. But how do you go from profile creation to getting booked for an event? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Assist Marketing is here to help you succeed.
As a leading event staffing agency (and promotions agency), we connect eager promo staff with exciting opportunities—ranging from local promotional event staffing to national trade show staffing agencies.
With our experience, we know what it takes to shine in this industry.
Ready to join the ranks of our event staffing professionals and land that first gig? Let’s dive in.
Step 1: Update Your Profile & Stand Out from the Crowd
Want to boost your chances of getting booked? Make sure your profile is polished and up to date.
Upload High-Quality Photos: Your headshot and additional photos should be clear, professional, and recent. A great smile goes a long way.
Keep Your Resume Updated: Highlight any relevant experience—especially in promotional event staffing, customer service, and sales. Even if you’re new to brand ambassador work, showcasing strong communication and people skills (and listing any promotional staffing agencies experience—even if it was just a one-off gig) can help you stand out.
Complete Your Profile: Fill out all sections thoroughly, including your experience, skills, and any certifications (such as education or specialized certificates). A complete profile makes it easier for our team and clients to understand your background and match you with events that fit your skills and interests.
Step 2: Browse and Apply for Events
Once your profile is set up, the first thing you’ll want to do is browse available events and apply for the ones that interest you. Here’s how:
Go to the Calendar Tab: On the left side of the Assist Marketing portal, you’ll find the Calendar tab. This is where all available events are listed.
Select Your Events: Click through different dates, roles, and locations to find gigs that match your schedule and interests. If you’re open to working in multiple cities, be sure to update your work areas under the Work Areas tab to see even more upcoming opportunities.
Apply: Once you find an event that excites you, submit your application directly through the portal. Our team carefully reviews submissions to find the best candidates for each role.
Remember, Assist Marketing works with many different clients, from local businesses to national brands and event marketing companies. That means the events you find on our portal can range from small in-store promotions to large trade show talent activations. One day you might be part of the promo staff handing out samples at a community festival, and the next you could be trade show talent representing a brand at a major convention. Don’t hesitate to explore—there’s a broad variety of gigs available to kickstart your brand ambassador career.
Step 3: Watch for a Video Interview Invite
After you apply for an event and we recognize you as the rock star candidate you are, you’ll receive an email invitation for a one-time video interview. This is your chance to connect with a booking coordinator, highlight your experience, and get answers to any questions you have about working with Assist Marketing. Plus, it’s your moment to shine and show off your personality.
Pro Tip: Treat this interview like a regular job interview—be punctual, dress professionally, and bring your A-game. We’ll be sharing more tips on how to ace this step in our next blog post, so keep this site bookmarked and stay tuned for all the details coming next month.
After you successfully complete this mandatory interview, you’ll join our roster of event staffing professionals and be officially eligible to work future events. You’ll then be able to complete your payroll documents and get all the details you need for your dream activation.
As an events staff agency, Assist Marketing is dedicated to helping you thrive as a brand ambassador. We pride ourselves on standing among the top event staffing agencies, promotional staffing agencies, and trade show staffing agencies in the industry. By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to landing gigs and gaining valuable experience.
Remember, even if you’re not yet a high profile brand ambassador, every event you work is a chance to build your reputation. With dedication, you can quickly grow from a newcomer to a sought-after talent ambassador representing major brands.
