Becoming a brand ambassador can have several benefits. You get to try free products, earn some money, build working relationships with brands and produce creative content for your social media profiles. If you’re interested in becoming a brand ambassador but aren’t sure how to find brands looking for ambassadors, this is the place for you!
Becoming a brand ambassador for any company ultimately means that you are a representative of them. If a brand doesn’t align with your values and ideals, it’s likely they won’t be a good match. Before you put the time and effort into searching for brand ambassadorships, we recommend you consider the following:
Next, we’re going to go over some of the methods for finding brands that are looking for ambassadors.
Start by looking through your own followers. If you have a sizeable follower count, chances are you’ve caught the eye of some brands along the way. It’s likely these brands match your ideals and aesthetics as well. They followed you because they liked what they saw – don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire about an ambassadorship!
It’s likely that there are other influencers with similar aesthetics and values to yours. Try looking through hashtags you would normally use on your own posts for other influencers. See a post that’s getting tons of traction? Look through the comments and see if any brands are asking to do a partnership with that influencer. If the brand really likes an influencer similar to you, they’ll likely be willing to work with you as well!
A lot of brands will create an application process and post it on social media platforms to alert their followers that they are searching for brand ambassadors. Try a quick Google search such as “beauty brands looking for ambassadors” or browse the social media profiles of your favorite brands. Not sure where to start looking?

Try taking the initiative to go ahead and advocate for yourself! Been dreaming of becoming a brand ambassador for your favorite small jewelry shop? Send them an email or message and tell them why you think it would be a great fit. You know what content you are capable of creating, so have a list of services on hand when pitching yourself. Reaching out to businesses you care about will lead to more successful partnerships, and chances are, they’ll be thrilled to have the exposure.
Influencer networks are a great opportunity to connect with brands looking for ambassadors. You’ll be able to get paired with brands to get free products and/or paid. Some of these platforms will handle the administrative side of these partnerships, but it’s important to remember that not all networks are the same and may require extra effort to sift through different opportunities. And in some cases, if you don’t like a product you receive, you may still be required to post or pay the retail price for it.
