Pentel College Ambassador Program

Pentel, a leader in the art supply space, turned to student brand ambassadors to direct engage with college students and increase entries in their quarterly Creative Challenge contest.

Situation YMC built a campus program that combined physical activations with digital content to increase Gen-Z engagement with the brand. Ambassadors facilitated opportunities for students to create contest submissions using Pentel products and uploaded high-quality content to their social media platforms.
