What is it?

This spring, CADY is launching its first Ambassador Program. This is an exciting opportunity for dynamic and imaginative students to gain experience with digital content creation by sharing their stories about their senior portrait sessions with CADY.

CADY Ambassadors will utilize their storytelling skills to craft and post 4 short videos over several weeks describing their experience with their CADY senior portraits.

We will provide a virtual orientation where they will meet fellow Ambassadors and our Community Manager. Ambassadors will also receive a guidebook with details, tips and tricks, and anything else needed to help them along the way.

Our team will thoroughly vet all ambassador content. If one of your students is selected, CADY wants this to be a celebration of your students and your school.

Eligibility Requirements:

• CADY will pick 10-15 rising seniors.

• The applicants must be at least 16 years old. If they are under 18, they must have a parent or guardian’s permission.

• Applicants are required to have a TikTok page. They will be asked to share their page with our community manager during the application.

To learn more about the CADY Ambassador Program visit https://ambassadors.cady.com/ and check out the attached CADY Ambassador Program Brochure.

When:

Applications from students are due April 28, 2024

Applicants’ social media pages will be reviewed for relevance, potential effectiveness, and content. We welcome all applications but reserve the right to refuse or revoke a membership at any time at our sole discretion.
