Overview


AYO is a campus ambassador platform designed to connect college students with local and national brands for promotional activities on their campuses. This user-friendly interface benefits both students and brands by facilitating straightforward collaboration and marketing efforts. AYO leverages the influential power of college students in marketing, bridging the gap between brands seeking engagement and students looking for flexible, rewarding work.

Our Mission
Students prefer buying from their peers rather than from companies, presenting a unique marketing opportunity. AYO was created to empower students not just with income and experience, but to also provide brands with authentic, grassroots marketing. Our platform makes it easy for students to promote brands they love, all while gaining valuable skills and connections.

Why AYO?
Despite AYO's positive reception and early success, I chose to pause the initiative to focus on my academic and professional development. Balancing the demands of running AYO with my commitments as a student and my internships proved challenging. However, the experience was invaluable, and I hope to return to AYO in the near future.

Looking Ahead
I am excited about the future potential of AYO and plan to revisit and refine the platform soon.
