As an ambassador, you'll help Tongal recruit and empower exciting new creative talent - directors, animators, editors, motion graphic artists, etc. - by connecting them to each other and to opportunities from top brands, networks, and studios. At the same time, you'll help strengthen connections within the Tongal community by attending virtual creator meetups, and promote Tongal content across social media.

As part of your Creator Ambassador role, you'll be positioned as a creative leader and talent scout, and connect with Creators from various fields who hail from anywhere in the world. You'll be asked to reach out directly on social platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, YouTube, and Reddit, while also looking for opportunities to connect with Creators via educational programs, film festivals and other artist organizations, and you can also utilize any additional platforms you think would be right. You'll be helping foster a culture of collaboration, and cultivate new creative talent for the Tongal community by recruiting people to the platform, referring them to projects, and providing them with key information to support them on their journeys as Creators. You'll also be encouraged to bring fresh ideas and methodologies to the table- if you've got a good promotional idea, we want to hear it!
