The WINTER 2024/2025 Ambassador Search IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!
Applications are open from Monday, November 4th to Sunday, November 24th at 11:59pm.
WHO YOU ARE
You are a stoked content creator passionate about winter adventures and apres! Whether you’re out skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, winter exploring or cold plunging at your local frozen watering hole, you are keen to share your adventures through reels and photos. You follow social media trends, love testing new video transitions, and are a visual storyteller who is constantly thinking of ideas for your next reel or Instagram story. You are social, team-spirited, and are the first person to welcome someone to try a new activity because you believe the outdoors is for everyone.
THE ROLE
We are searching for adventurous creators across Alberta and British Columbia to spend four months working with us as part-time freelance creative brand ambassadors, creating content for the @thestraitandnarrow page. In exchange for capturing incredible photos and reels to share on our feed, we will provide $1000 monthly and a healthy cocktail budget to share our Pacific Coast Cocktails with your community.
Monthly Deliverables
- 2 Reels
- 2 curated Instagram story sets to match your reels. Instructions will be provided during a team ambassador call to show you what we’re after!
- Image bank: Photo asset library, edited to match the S&N aesthetic (bright, colourful, portrait orientation lifestyle and product shots).
- Each monthly asset library should feature different locations and should include a mix of product and lifestyle shots.
- Once a month 1.5-hour team meeting/happy hour to chat over the monthly brief, discuss content ideas, share social media insights with other creators and share a laugh and a Pacific Coast Cocktail with the team.
What you get in return
Our ambassador program is a chance to connect with like-minded creatives to help elevate your content creation skills. Our monthly meetings offer a chance to share knowledge, improve skills and gain experience following content briefs for brands. We strive to help our ambassadors reach new audiences and find future brand partnerships once their contracts are over.

HOW TO APPLY
We’d like you to demonstrate that you are an effective storyteller who understands social media as a medium for inspiring others to be #compelledtoexplore.
- Create a short reel (30 seconds or less) showing us the kind of content you would create for The Strait and Narrow.
We want to see that you can create an engaging video on social media. Show us your personality, storytelling and creative skills and, most importantly, how you can integrate S&N into your adventures. Be sure to tag us @thestraitandnarrow so we can easily review your reel.

Tips From Our Team
- Video tips: Camera-quality video is not required. We’re searching for authentic “living the brand” content; cinematography is far less important than visual storytelling. Both cell phone & camera quality footage are fine by us—we’re looking for fun transitions, fresh ideas and creative shots.
- We will evaluate your reel application by the following metrics: creativity, brand alignment, watchability and storytelling.
- Your personal follower count does not determine the grading of your application. If you’re a strong content creator, please apply!
