Allison Flowers
Member Spotlight: Amazon Brand Ambassador
At the end of my spring semester, I applied for the position of Amazon Brand Ambassador at East Carolina University. Near the beginning of the summer, I chose to accept an offer for a Brand Ambassador position at ECU. My responsibilities in this role are to plan and execute on and off-campus marketing events that provide visibility to Amazon and the Amazon Student program, the Amazon Prime membership that is offered specifically to college students at a discounted price. In addition, I help maintain a social media presence for the Amazon Brand Ambassador program through its Twitter page @AmazonAtECU. I was asked to attend the Amazon Brand Ambassador Summit at the beginning of August to receive training for this role.
From an overall perspective, the Amazon Brand Ambassador Summit was one of the highlights of my summer. It was held from August 6th through 9th in Seattle, Washington, and approximately 200 Brand Ambassadors from universities throughout the United States were in attendance. During the four days that we were in Seattle, we attended various training sessions, which taught us about every aspect of our job. The session themes varied, but included topics such as social media etiquette, university solicitation policies, and event planning. We also attended a session that explained internships and future career opportunities at Amazon.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed traveling to Seattle for the Amazon Brand Ambassador Summit. The combination of attending informative training sessions, exploring Seattle, and meeting Brand Ambassadors from other universities resulted in a truly extraordinary experience. After attending all of the training sessions at the summit, I feel confident to begin my job as an Amazon Brand Ambassador at ECU, and look forward to holding on-campus events at ECU with my fellow Brand Ambassador. If you see an Amazon table somewhere on campus, be sure to stop by and say hi!
