What are the responsibilities and job description for the Brand Representative position at Marketly Collective?
Company Description
At Marketly Collective, we empower brands through strategic communication and impactful marketing strategies. We specialize in crafting compelling messaging, media relations, and achieving digital prominence. Join us in delivering #CommunicationExcellence and innovative #MarketingStrategy solutions.
About the role
Are you passionate about authentic Italian flavors? Do you love sharing the story behind a great Parmigiano, a perfect olive oil, or a classic pasta? We are looking for an outgoing, Italian-speaking Brand Ambassador to bring the taste of Italy to local shoppers.
As our Demo Specialist, you won't just be handing out samples; you’ll be the "face of the brand," educating customers on regional origins, cooking techniques, and the quality of our imported products.
Key Responsabilities
- Engage & Educate: Proactively approach supermarket shoppers to share samples and tell the story of our Italian product line.
- Live Demos: Prepare and present simple food demonstrations (e.g., pasta finishing, cheese pairings, or antipasti assembly) following food safety protocols.
- Drive Sales: Convert "tasters" into "buyers" by communicating the value and authenticity of the product.
- Set Up/Pack Down: Manage the demo station, ensuring it looks "bellissimo" and remains clean and inviting throughout the shift.
- Reporting: Provide brief feedback on customer reactions and inventory levels after each event.
What we're looking for
- Language: Fluency in English is essential, and fluency in Italian is a plus. You should be comfortable switching between both to engage with a diverse customer base.
- Experience: Previous experience conducting food demos, ideally within a supermarket or retail environment.
- Culinary Knowledge: A deep appreciation for Italian food culture. You should know your Guanciale from your Pancetta!
- Personality: High energy, a warm "hospitality-first" attitude, and the ability to work independently.
- Requirements: Must have (or be willing to obtain) a Food Handler’s Permit/Certification. Ability to stand for 4–6 hours and transport a portable demo stand.
Why Join Us?
- Competitive hourly rate plus performance incentives.
- The chance to represent premium, authentic Italian brands.
How to Apply
Please send your resume and a brief note (in English or Italian!) telling us about your favorite Italian dish to cook.
