In today’s competitive events industry, standing out from the crowd is more important than ever. At Elevate Global, we’re excited about new ways to present your profiles to clients, including our “Blind Profiles” format. This means clients focus on your experience and skills first before viewing your video. While a great photo is important, adding a video can significantly boost your chances of getting hired. One of our core values is People People, and showcasing your personality through a video can make a big difference in catching a client’s attention. Here’s a few reasons why:
1. Show your personality
By adding a video, this gives you the opportunity to bring your profile to life and showcase your personality in ways a static picture simply can’t. With the main role of a Brand Ambassador being connecting with the public, many clients are looking for engaging, personable staff who can connect with their audience. A well-made video allows you to communicate your enthusiasm, professionalism, and passion for the role, giving clients an immediate sense of who you are.
2. Demonstrate your communication skills
As you’ll be working with several different brands and speaking to people from all walks of life, strong communication is a key component of being a successful Brand Ambassador. Whether you’re sampling a new product, managing a team, gathering feedback, or engaging with event attendees, clients want to know that you can talk confidently and clearly. By having a video on your profile, this lets clients assess your communication style and decide if you’re a good fit for their brand.
3. Highlight your professionalism
Clients expect the highest level of professionalism from their Brand Ambassadors, and a video can quickly reflect that. By appearing, composed, and confident on camera, you show potential clients that you’re prepared, responsible, and can represent their brand in the best possible light.
4. Show versatility and energy
For some clients that host a range of events throughout the year, many brands prefer event staff who are versatile—able to adapt to different events, atmospheres, and target audiences. A video is the perfect way to show your energy and adaptability. Whether you’re engaging in a casual conversation or presenting more formally, a video highlights how you can switch gears depending on the client’s needs.
Our top tips for the perfect video:
- Be genuine! Smile, speak clearly, and show your excitement about the job.
- In your video, consider mentioning a past event you’ve worked on and how you contributed to its success. This shows both your experience and communication abilities.
- Dress as you would for an event—this shows clients you’re event-ready and take the opportunity seriously.
- Make sure to film in a quiet location so we can hear you with no distractions
- Keep it short – under 1 minute ideally!
