How to Become a Model
Brand Ambassadors also called promo girls are the models you see when you see companies such as Red Bull, Budweiser or Monster promoting their products at sporting events, bars, clubs, trade shows or parties.
Take Budweiser for example, probably one of the most coveted Budweiser jobs in the world is the Budweiser girl position.
These girls get paid to party with consumers and get to wear sexy promotional gear to appeal to the main demographics of their customers. (Men)
Some of these girls get paid to the tune of $40+/Hr just to promote products to people! It really pays to learn how to become a model!
Promotional models such as the Miller Lite Girls basically have some of the best promotional jobs (brand ambassador jobs) in the world…

How to Become a Model, Brand Ambassador or Promo Girl
There are a couple ways you can become a brand Ambassador and you need to know what they are to give yourself the best chance to get hired. These modeling jobs are very desirable and many girls are trying to get these coveted positions.
The basic strategy for getting hired as a promo girl, is to go to the company you want to work for and find the hiring beverage rep. You then get an application and fill it out.
Pretty straight forward right?
However, this is probably the least effective method for getting hired. Remember that there may be 100 girls trying to be hired for a handful of positions. Now if you follow the 3 tips I am about to give you, you will be miles ahead of the competition.
Tip # 1 – Build a Relationship with the Beverage Rep
Normally, when the companies are going to send out the girls to promote they will notify the establishments that they will be visiting. You can talk to bar/club owners or local promoters and ask them to notify you when/where these events are going to take place. Then at the events, introduce yourself to the beverage reps there and start building a relationship with them.
I would not advise you to ask them about joining on the first meeting. Remember, you need to build a strong relationship with the rep, so you don’t want to appear to only care about getting the job. After a few events of networking with the rep, ask them how you might get started promoting their company’s products.
If there any openings or if one ever comes available, you will have the advantage over all the other faceless girls applying for the position.
Tip # 2- Build a relationship with the current Promo Girls
The second tip is built upon the first tip. While you are at the events, you most assuredly need to befriend the girls already promoting. The reason is because beverage reps are very busy and usually just take recommendations from the current promo girls.
If you get a recommendation from the girls you will get the job without having to compete with the girls applying at the Rep’s office.
FYI: If you built a relationship with the rep and then get a recommendation from the current promo girls, you will have the best opportunity to get hired than anyone is even if they may be more qualified.
Tip # 3- Join a Community of Promo Girls
If you don’t know any promoters in town and if maybe you’re a little intimidated by networking with bar/club owners or managers, then you are going to have a hard time networking with the reps and promo girls.
You can’t build relationships with them if you don’t know who they are or when/where they are promoting. So… another way for you to network with these people is to join the American Wing Community.
The American Wing Girls are the owners of an online community for promo girls and promotional models.
What is an American Wing Girl?
The American Wing Girls is our company’s brand and represents everything we stand for.
In the past we did local promotions for our clients but because we were based in a very small market, we decided we could provide a bigger service to up and coming promo girls by helping them to get started in the industry.
Now we focus all our resources on building and sustaining an online community for our wing girls.
To explain further, a wing girl is the female version of a wing man. A wing girl is a friend of another girl when they are out on the town. A wing girl will have her friend’s back and will be there to support their girl if and when there is ever a problem.
Our Wing Girl’s Community is the home of all the promo girls from all the various brands such as Bud Light, Miller Light, Monster and Red Bull.
It’s a community of girls that have one common passion…being promotional models. Getting hired for one of these jobs such as one of the Budweiser jobs, can be one of the most fun and financially rewarding career decisions of a girl’s life.
These girls get paid to Party and they Love it. This Community is also the home of aspiring promotional models who are working hard to build their portfolios.
The 10 main qualities of the American Wing Girls are:
1) They are very Beautiful 6) They are very Outgoing
2) They are very Intelligent 7) They are very Confident
3) They are Hard Working 8 ) They are very Dependable
4) They are very Loyal 9) They are very Responsible
5) They are very Trustworthy 10) They are very Patriotic
Why you should want to be a Wing Girl
One of the hardest challenges that a girl will ever have in becoming a promo girl is that she will have to get the attention of beverage reps that hire promo girls to promote their products.
If you don’t have a connection with these reps, the only other way is to go to the companies themselves and put in an application.
The problem with this approach is that you will be one of hundreds of girls doing the same thing. Beverage Reps are busy and will usually do the most convenient and time efficient things to hire new promo girls.
Basically, take recommendations from their current promo girls.
So by joining our community you can begin to build relationship with current promo girls and get your foot in the door to becoming one yourself.
When you join our community, you will officially become a wing girl. We will provide different online job boards and posting of jobs that you can go apply for as well as the ability to network with other promo girls. We really hope you will come join us and help us build our Wing Girl Community!
