We prefer that you upload your video to YouTube. Make sure it's either PUBLIC or UNLISTED. If the video is PRIVATE, the link will not be viewable on our end. Please share the video link in the appropriate spot on the application form.
We pay ambassadors monthly through PayPal. PayPal is free to set up and this is the only way we are able to send payment. You will receive a $200 monthly payment, which covers your compensation for all participation and content requirements. In addition, your opportunity to earn commission increases to 12% from the normal 8% affiliate commission. Any commission earned will be added to the established monthly payments. We also offer opportunities for additional paid partnerships.
We believe in community over competition. In your role as a brand ambassador, we ask that you promote Archer and Olive above other similar products, including any notebooks with 160gsm dot grid paper, or acrylic paint pens comparable to our Acrylographs. We encourage artists to use a variety of mediums to create work, and will not restrict use of stamps, stickers, washi or other generic items that are readily available in the community. A&O will be reviewing all content and is motivated to feature content that promotes A&O products over others.
Our Management Team will be best to answer any specific questions you might have and they can be reached at hello@archerandolive.com or ambassadorteam@archerandolive.com. Please keep in mind that emailing the team will not prioritize your application.
There are two parts to our application.
First, complete this online application.
This part of the application is great to show off your social statistics and for us to learn a little bit about you.
Second, please submit a video that truly shares your unique capabilities and why you would be a great fit on the Archer & Olive Ambassador Team.
Remember that this video should be less than two minutes. We prefer that you upload your video to YouTube. Make sure it's either PUBLIC or UNLISTED. If the video is PRIVATE, the link will not be viewable on our end. Please share the video link in the appropriate spot on the application form.
We’ve focused our ambassador team into two primary roles. Most responsibilities for each team will be very similar, but this allows us to be more deliberate in our requests and demands on the teams’ time. More will be shared when you’re invited to become part of the ambassador team.
