Questions
Curious About Being a Brand Ambassador?
Here’s everything you need to know!
What's the application process like to be an ambassador?
First, you'll need to join our community and then complete a quick questionnaire so we can find out a little more about you. Once you've done this, we'll aim to email you within 7 days if we feel that you could be a good match for the program.
Within the email, we'll send you a small task to complete (surrounding content creation) and we'll ask you to attach your TikTok Analytics from the previous month. If your task is successful, you'll then be invited for a short Teams chat before being brought on board!
What kind of person is an ambassador?
We want to work with superstars who are down to earth, easy going, and relatable to other students!
You'll need a notable presence on TikTok (and preferably be active on Instagram), and you should be on the ball with current trends.
Having an outgoing personality and being proactive will also help you, as we're looking for people who have the confidence to put themselves out there.
How much of my time will it take to be an ambassador?
On average, our ambassadors spend 60-90 minutes per week completing tasks for us.
This will depend on the number of tasks the ambassador wishes to complete - as you'll have the option to create extra, bonus tasks for us if you wish to earn more money each month.
Where do I work from if I'm an ambassador?
You can work right from the comfort of your student home - however, we'll also require you to occasionally capture fun and interesting clips from around your uni city and campus too.
Just make sure you have a smartphone with a high-res camera, and plenty of storage space available on the device.
What city do I have to be in to be an ambassador?
We're currently accepting applicants from all over the UK! However, it's preferred if you're living and studying in a UniHomes city.
How do ambassador payments work and when will I be paid?
Our ambassadors are paid based on the work they complete.
There are 4 x base tasks per month (1 x per week) which you must complete as standard. In addition to this, there will be optional Bonus Tasks available to complete each week if you'd like to earn extra money too.
Each time you complete a task, the funds will automatically go into your own digital wallet on the app. You can then cash out the funds at the end of the month (or let them build up in your own personal piggy bank - with the option to withdraw them later).
What else is included on the ambassador program?
Every month we hand out several Gifted Rewards to ambassadors who've stood out and have gone the extra mile. These are usually provided in the form of e-vouchers from top brands or experiences.
They can be awarded for several reasons, including your videos going viral, regularly engaging with our socials or consistently creating great content.
In addition, we host all expenses paid workshops at our HQ in Sheffield at least twice a year, and you may have the opportunity to attend nationwide creator events.
How easy is it to get in touch with my Campaign Manager if I have a question?
We're big on communications and feedback here at UniHomes, as after all, you know what students want!
If you ever have a query, you can contact your dedicated Campaign Manager via the chat function on our app. We'll always aim to respond to you ASAP!
You also have the option to email: [email protected]
What if my content isn't up to scratch?
We've created an ambassador Handbook, which is also known as the holy grail for your content! Here, you should find all the answers you're looking for to improve your work. Plus, we'll run through our standards in an Onboarding Seminar when you first join.
We've also built a whole host of resources packed with useful hints and tips, alongside our monthly newsletters, to help guide you in the right direction.
If you still submit something which isn't quite right and your task is rejected, we'll always provide feedback so that you can have another go at it.
Please note if you are ranked in our 'Growth Zone' on our internal leaderboard for 3 consecutive months, then you may be asked to leave the program. However, rest assured that we'll provide tailored feedback and guidance each month to help get you back on track!
What do brand ambassador tasks include?
All of the tasks we set will vary. Some are specific and will have a theme, and others will give you full creative freedom (as long as it's relatable to our audience!).
Once your content and proposed captions have been approved, you'll need to post it to your personal TikTok page, ideally within 24 hours. You'll also have the option to complete tasks for your IG Stories to engage with your followers in the form of polls.
What will I personally get out of being an ambassador?
Our ambassadors have fed back that they've:
- Established a nationwide, supportive network of friends
- Grown their own platforms by consistently uploading content and engaging more with followers
- Learnt new skills which they've been able to add to their CV and LinkedIn
- Grown confidence both in the real world and online
- Attended all-expenses paid workshops which they've thoroughly enjoyed!
