What is a street team anyway...?

A street team (or ambassador program) is a selected group of people that engage with your social media content, hand out promotional materials, and help generate additional revenue for you. Typically, street team members are rewarded with discounts, free tickets, and exclusive perks related to your products or events.

Consider building a street team if you are looking to:

  • Get the word out about your next event
  • Promote your brand
  • Spread awareness on social media

These days, word of mouth and influence has never been more crucial. Successful street team management can make the difference between success and failure for your brand or upcoming event!
