Brand Ambassador (Part-Time Spring Internship) | Minneapolis-Saint Paul

Oddball, Minneapolis, MN, United States


Oddball is reimagining fruit snacking for the next generation - real ingredients, zero compromise, and a whole lot of fun. Our first product line taps into nostalgia by bringing back a familiar texture and form. Oddball's Jiggly Fruit Snack is a spoonable jelly treat made from real fruit purees and juices, set with our plant-based gelling agent, agar, and completely free from dairy, gelatin, added sweeteners, and artificial nonsense. Now launching in Target stores nationwide, we're introducing a playful new option for kids' lunchboxes and family snacking.

Role Description We're looking for a high-energy Brand Ambassador in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area to help us bring Oddball to life in the real world. This isn't a sit-at-a-desk internship. You'll be out in your community - at youth sports games, parks, YMCAs, and wherever families gather - running sampling events and giving kids and parents their very first Oddball moment. But beyond handing out snacks, you'll help us figure out how a startup actually grows. You'll scout locations, observe what messaging lands, collect feedback, and report insights directly to our marketing team. You're not just an intern - you're helping us write the playbook.

What You'll Do Identify and test the best sampling locations near local Target stores Run grassroots activations in community spaces (parks, gyms, youth sports, and more) Engage families, spark conversations, and drive first-time product trial Share on-the-ground insights that shape our marketing strategy

What We're Looking For Outgoing, approachable, and energized by real human connection Self-starter who can work independently and stay organized Available weekends and after-school hours, April through May, with the opportunity to extend into the summer High school diploma required; pursuing a degree in marketing, communications, or business is a plus Reliable access to a car Comfortable with light physical activity (setting up, carrying supplies)

Why This Role? This is a chance to get in early on something real. You won't be watching from the sidelines - you'll be helping build a brand from the ground up, learning how startups grow, and making a tangible impact in your local market. If you love people, love snacks, and want hands-on experience that actually means something - let's talk.
