Description

As an OLIPOP College Brand Ambassador, you’ll become the heartbeat of OLIPOP on your campus—sparking curiosity, excitement, and genuine connection around a soda that’s rewriting the rules. OLIPOP isn’t just another drink; it’s a delicious, refreshing soda crafted with real ingredients, gut-friendly fiber, and a mission to make healthy choices accessible and fun for everyone.

You’ll introduce your peers to a beverage that’s as nostalgic as it is innovative—one that delivers the classic soda experience people love, but with a modern twist: less sugar, more fiber, and science-backed benefits. Your role is to ignite brand awareness and inspire trial, turning OLIPOP into the go-to drink for students who want to feel good about what they’re sipping.

As the face of OLIPOP, you’ll host vibrant campus events, collaborate with student organizations, and create buzzworthy social content that captures the spirit of our brand. You’ll be part of a movement that’s not just about soda, but about building a healthier, more connected campus community—one can at a time.

• Distribute full-size OLIPOP cans at fun, high-traffic campus events and through product drops with student organizations.
• Create and share engaging content on your personal Instagram and TikTok accounts, including posts, stories, and videos.

About OLIPOP:

At OLIPOP, we’re on a mission to positively impact consumer health at scale. And we’re doing it through something simple: soda. But not just any soda, a new kind of soda: one that’s delicious, refreshing, and actually good for you.

This mission is deeply personal for our CEO, Co-Founder, and Formulator, Ben Goodwin. Like many of us, Ben grew up consuming the Standard American Diet: lots of soda and processed foods that prioritized convenience over nutrition. But at 14, he took his health into his own hands. After making significant changes to his nutrition and exercise, he lost 50 pounds and saw a transformation in his energy, mood, and emotional clarity.

Those changes sparked a deep curiosity about the connection between nutrition and health. Ben became a relentless student of the gut microbiome and the ways it supports overall wellness. The more he discovered, the more passionate he became about finding credible, science-backed ways to make consumer health accessible to everyone.

The mission was clear. The vehicle? Less so. After exploring the possibilities, Ben landed on an unexpected yet familiar choice: soda. It was something he loved as a kid, and he knew millions shared that same nostalgia. But this wouldn’t be just any soda. With most Americans falling short on daily fiber, Ben set out to create a version with more fiber and less sugar, one that was perfectly balanced. The result? A deliciously refreshing soda with 6 to 9 grams of fiber and 2 to 5 grams of sugar, delivering science-backed benefits without sacrificing the classic taste people crave.

In 2018, the first OLIPOP cans hit the shelves, bringing Ben’s vision to life with a functional soda that anyone could enjoy. And by reimagining soda, we’re also reshaping culture. That means creating products that support health for all and building a business grounded in humanistic values: empathy, integrity, and a belief in better for everyone. From the ingredients we source to the culture we foster, we’re committed to proving that business (and beverage!) can be a force for good, and that soda has the power to bring people together.
