Kendra Scott, a renowned jewelry and fashion brand, had significant success since its founding in 2002. By 2023, it had expanded to over 135 retail stores and achieved a billion-dollar valuation. Recognizing that college students are influential shoppers with substantial buying power, the company launched the Gems Campus Ambassador program, initially focused on in-store events and on-campus partnerships. The brand identified the massive potential of user-generated content (UGC) created by tech-savvy college students, which could enhance brand reach and drive sales.
