Staffing for the 101st Grey Cup

As the title of our blog suggests, we are hiring for one of the biggest events of the year - the Grey Cup! Last year was a big year for us - not only was it the 100th Grey Cup, it was also hosted in the home town of the Girls of Glam headquarters - Toronto, Ontario. However, we are also proud to say we have some amazing staff in Saskatchewan as well who we know will do a great job at taking their turn working this awesome event!

Take this as your 'casting call' to apply for available positions being offered, but also for a chance to get your foot in the door with GOG if you're not already on the roster. Girls of Glam bring in males, females, models, customer service representatives, applicants with specializations and certifications. There is literally a need for everyone on own roster and we place staff in various positions each day. Right now - we want to give YOU the chance to work for a well-known Canadian event - and of course to soak in the excitement of football.

What Can You Expect When You Work This Event:

Take it from some of the staff who worked last year - the energy you will be working with will be incredible. You will be interacting with a very excited crowd - and they want to interact with you! We had a staffer who met a couple who actually met at one of the Grey Cup's 40 years ago! She really loved interacting with people and listening the stories they had about past Grey Cups.

You will be representing one of our established clients as brand ambassadors. Passing out samples and swag, taking pictures and playing games, pumping up the crowds and grabbing their attention. It is the most exciting job you will ever have; you will wonder how you get paid to do it.

Working for Girls of Glam is a great way to get comfortable with yourself - and learn how to network. You will be doing a lot of networking!!

This year the Grey Cup is in Rider Nation in Saskatchewan. We need fun, reliable, and outgoing staff to represent some well-known brands in a professional and fun manner.

If you are interesting in working at the Grey Cup this year, contact us! Send us a resume, and 3 photos (professional is preferred). We look forward to adding you to our roster of some of the top promotional staff in North America!

Girls of Glam, UFC, and Rivelstoke Whiskey

The UFC attracts a huge demographic - from males to women of all sorts. We had the chance to team up with Revelstoke Whiskey and the UFC to promote this awesome whiskey to consumers in Toronto. We had a great team representing Revelstoke for Girls of Glam, and we thought you would love to hear about our experience with UFC...and some special guys our girls got to meet!

I spoke with Brandie and Keli C. of Girls of Glam who told me about their experiences working as a brand ambassadors for Revelstoke Whiskey in two different locations. Brandie was working it at Real Sports and Keli was hanging out in Maple Leaf Square at fan fest!

To get people to notice what she was doing, she wore some of the swag she was giving out to get people curious about what she was doing. She loved interacting people, and really loved the opportunity she had to meet one of the fighters.

Brandie was cocktailing and doing tastings of Revelstoke whiskey. Her goal was to get people aware of the brand, and try it so they could get to know the brand better. She was also spreading brand awareness while a UFC fighter was doing autographs for fans. She said it was a great opportunity for networking and to meet new people.

I loved that Keli took her experience with this promo as way to get used to interacting with people on a professional level, and also serving. The new experiences has been really great for her, and an excellent way to get her name out there.

Working an event with such a huge name like UFC has been great for Girls of Glam, but mostly for our girls who worked the event. Because UFC gets so much publicity, it really puts our staff out there and gives them a chance to network and interact with a huge crowd! We would love to give more girls and guys opportunities like this!

The Toronto Film Festival: Girls of Glam at the Ritz Carlton

The Toronto Film festival is a huge event that takes place in Toronto at the end of the summer. This is a big opportunity for Girls of Glam to give some of our best Brand Ambassador's the chance to represent Girls of Glam and some of our prestigious clients.

This year we had a tall order to fulfil which included representing one of our favourite clients Barefoot Wine and Bubbly at a Ritz Carleton event. We had Brittney R. represent Barefoot; who has worked with Barefoot at previous events, work at this amazing event for TIFF.

Brittney was working in a stunning suite with a beautiful view of Toronto. She was staged in the kitchen of the suite serving Moscato and Pinto Grigio Barefoot wine and bubbly to guests and celebrities. Brittney loves representing Barefoot because of the amazing causes they contribute to - and also the fact that it is a well-known and loved brand.

Brittney is a great ambassador, and she usually does not have any issues getting people to come and check out what she is doing. But when she is working a Barefoot event consumers are usually attracted  to the brand. She loved having the opportunity to mingle and serve such inspiring people and she gained a lot from this wonderful event.

It's great to have staff who still do such a great a professional job even when they are dazzled but the people and the event they are working with or for. What's important about working for popular event like TIFF is that you have staff who can be excited about the environment but still be able to maintain professionalism and understand that they are working. We loved having Brittney represent a really great brand - and also do such a great job at represent Girls of Glam at a beautiful event.

Canada's Bridal Show and Girls of Glam

Weddings are so exciting! Men looking dapper, women dressed in pretty dresses and clothing - and of course the blushing bride. We represented Hudson's Bay and the opportunity for brides to win their dream wedding and a dress from the famous Kleinfeld's which will be opening a location in Toronto.

Given the circumstances of the positive and gushing atmosphere at the Toronto Convention Centre for Canada's Bridal Show, our staff were naturally excited to act as bridal planners and use their smiling faces to entice brides-to-be to sign up for such an amazing contest. Not only did the brides have their eyes on the prize - they were also given VIP passes to meet famous bridal consultant Randy Fenoli of Say Yes to The Dress.

After speaking with a couple of the girls who worked the event, I found that they were really serious about playing the part of bridal consultant. Taking extra care to keep good posture and poise so that brides would trust them and feel welcomed to sign up. Our staff were also really excited about the idea of a Kleinfeld's opening in Toronto so it wasn't difficult for them to spread the word.

They were also excited to be in touch with such happy women, and to have the opportunity to chat with them about upcoming wedding plans. One of our staff mentioned it was like having girl-talk all day and hardly working. They were able to really make connection with the women that day, and give them the opportunity to possibly get the wedding of their dreams.

At Girls of Glam we really appreciate when our staff go the extra mile to make a connection with their brand's consumer. Rather than just being there for the sake of a job - they take their role seriously, and morph themselves into a different person that can actually related to what they are doing. This is really important for a staffing company. If you don't have staff who are able to adapt to various roles - then you have a serious problem. We are so thankful for our staff who take their positions seriously, and truly enjoy what they are doing.

That is exactly what we saw at Canada's Bridal Show - our staff getting excited and adapting to the incredibly positive atmosphere and connecting with the brides and bridal parties!

Girls of Glam at Toronto Beerfest 2013

Beerfest is a huge event in Toronto and is as simply described as its name...a festival of beer. If you haven't been to or heard of Beerfest before it's basically a field filled will various beer vendors offering samples of their brew to hopeful tasters. However, as the night progresses it turns into a massive party. Now, imagine working at this event, representing a brand, and maintaing absolute professionalism.

That's exactly what some of the Girls of Glam staff did as they represented brands like Bet365.net and Singha Beer.

The excitement at a festival like this can be overwhelming, but our staff like Brittany R. kept her cool and maintained her professionalism for the brand - Bet365.net as a dealer:

"I had a few rowdy and intoxicated guests at my table, I maintained my professionalism by using a good sense of humour and directing the focus of my conversations to the brand and game."

Given the circumstances and relevancy of the roles our staff were working compared to the festival, it wasn't difficult to attract consumers to what they were doing. But rather, they needed to maintain their professionalism and deal with a really intense crowd. We were lucky to have the staff we had work this event - they all enjoyed working in such an upbeat and exciting environment.  Mel G. said she felt like she was part of the fun event just working.

Mel G. made sure her team felt the same way she did by motivating them and maintaining a positive attitude herself.

Brittany really loved that the Bet365.net booth was always busy, "We were situated by the DJ booth which was perfect for creating a hangout vibe for our section at Beerfest. There were a lot of girls running around creating a place for people to go and activities for them while they enjoyed their beers, The poker tables were always crazy busy because they attracted big groups."

Girls of Glam have really amazing staff that are able to maintain professionalism and positivity through rowdy crowds and very intense environments. We were very impressed with the feedback we recieved from their work at Beerfest over the entire weekend!

Working With Celebrity Cruise

Girls of Glam have had the pleasure to be a brand ambassador for Celebrity Cruises. We are very successful with a our brand ambassador program - mostly because our staff who work these types of events are so good at their job.

We wanted to show you what it's like being a brand ambassador, and why our staff choose the jobs they work - so we spoke to one of our Girls Mel M. about her experience working promotions with Celebrity Cruises.

Initially, Mel decided that working for Celebrity Cruises would be a great fit because she works in the travel industry and she wanted to gain my knowledge and experience - and she knew this job would interest her. We really appreciate it when our staff choose a job that is of interest to them that will help them expand into their chosen career. This way, we know they will be really involved in their role. Part of Mel's responsibility as a brand ambassador for this client was not only to bring awareness to the company, but to also engage people and conduct a raffle for the chance to win a free cruise.

Mel was aware she needed to bring a lot of energy to the field when working this job, "We were expected to bring lots of energy and excitement to the Celebrity Cruises promotion and draw in a crowd." And that's exactly what Mel did. We find each of our staff have a strategy for getting the attention of the crowd. Mel's is very simple: She doesn't let them come to her - she goes to them, and lure them in with an incentive such as the celebrity signature drink to give people the full Celebrity Cruises treatment.

With a name like Celebrity Cruise it's hard not to be dazzled by the 'perks'. Mel loved that the golf tournament where she was representing Celebrity Cruises hosted celebrities and other amazing things like a high-energy vibe, and fun uniforms. i.e Mel really enjoyed representing this brand.

When a staff specifically goes out their way to choose a company or brand that they can really get involved with and truly enjoy working as a brand ambassador.

We appreciate staff like Mel who did a great job at representing a well known name - Celebrity Cruises.

United Way and Barefoot Wine and Bubbly: Connecting Wine and Social Good

If you have been following our blog lately you probably have noticed we have been doing a lot of events with Barefoot wine and Bubbly. What we love about working for Barefoot is their dedication to charities. We are used to doing LCBO samplings, but we really wanted to share a special sampling we did with Barefoot Wine and Bubbly because it was such a great concept.

Partnering up with United Way, Barefoot Wine and Bubbly donated $1 of every bottle sold to the United Way. Our Brand Ambassadors are used to pushing sales - but this time it was for a really important cause.

The Brand Ambassadors ensured the consumer knew about the brand and the different wines available - allowing them to try the product and get them aware of the wine if they did not already know. Once the consumer tried the brand, we then explained what Barefoot was doing to partner with a great charity.

Our brand ambassadors worked extra hard for the event by connecting with consumers and not only getting them aware of the brand, but also what the brand was doing in partnership with a not-for-profit. With every $1 of each bottle being given to the United Way, sales were the number one factor for our brand ambassadors to focus on.

We had a successful event at the LCBO, and were really excited to get consumers aware of a brand that does a lot of social good. Girls of Glam really love doing events that are involved with not-for-profit organizations. This was a really promotion for our GOG brand ambassadors, and we are looking forward to continue working with Barefoot Wine and Bubbly.
