Brand Ambassador - Eugene

Description:

INDO EXPO is the Premier Cannabis Business-to-Business Trade Show. With annual shows in Denver, Portland, and California, over 350 exhibitors, and 5000+ attendees, INDO EXPO is the hottest Show in the industry! We are growing, and we are looking for Brand Ambassadors (BA) to grow with us!

BAs will promote the show in the field to raise awareness through all relevant channels, including social media. INDO EXPO’s target audiences are growers, producers, processors, retail shops (dispensaries, hydro shops, garden centers, glass shops, etc.), and ancillary businesses. You will interface with the cannabis industry to assist in recruiting pre-qualified buyers/attendees with real decision-making power.

As a BA, you’ll be reaching out to a group of businesses in your designated territory. Each week you’ll contact your list of businesses, attempt to register them online, visit them in-person and leave promotional materials at various shops and stores. You will also be responsible for handing out All Access passes to our top clients four weeks prior to the show. Throughout your campaign, you will be supported at all times by management especially if anything comes up that you don’t know how to handle.
This job part-time job will require between 20-30 per week.
