Brands who successfully utilize College Club Ambassadors work with Refuel to design specific college lifestyle usage occasions to showcase how the brand can fit into and assist with everyday college life.

For Lyft, the College Club Ambassadors gamified relevant usage occasions such as using Lyft as your safe ride home at night, using Lyft for a student roommates to go on big grocery hauls, and using Lyft to get to class when you’re running late. We distributed promo cards to both offer students incentives to ride and also to track semester long usage.

Spotify used Refuel brand ambassadors to for a national campaign creating awareness and buzz around their new student discount for their Premium streaming services. Over half the students who interacted with the campaign stated they would use the streaming service and more than two-thirds planned to tell a friend about the promotion.

For Nissin Cup Noodle, Refuel’s College Club Ambassadors were featuring the Very Veggie product with better flavor and less sodium. The program centered on hand-to-hand product sampling – late-night study sessions at campus locations, Greek house afternoon snacks, and in the dorms (snacks and meal replacement options).
