As activation volume increased across cities and formats, managing brand ambassador performance became increasingly complex. Manual tracking, delayed incentives, and limited recognition led to inconsistent execution and higher turnover among promoters.

The manufacturer needed a scalable, transparent way to motivate ambassadors, ensure accountability, and tie rewards directly to measurable activation outcomes.

Key challenges included:

• Inconsistent sampling productivity: Variations in samples distributed and consumer interactions across events.

• Attendance and reliability issues: Missed shifts, late arrivals, and incomplete activations impacted brand representation.

• Low consumer data capture: Email sign-ups and opt-ins were inconsistent despite high footfall.

• Limited activation amplification: Event reach often ended once the activation concluded.

• Uneven product knowledge: Not all ambassadors completed training or certifications.

• High promoter churn: Top-performing ambassadors lacked long-term incentives and recognition.
