3. Applications

Applications will open on 30 July 2026 and close at 11:59pm BST on 2 September 2026. Applications received after the closing date may not be considered.

To apply, applicants must complete and submit the official application form available on the poppi website. As part of the application process, applicants will be asked to provide personal information, details of their university and social media profiles, answer a series of application questions, and submit a short video in accordance with the creative brief provided on the application website.

Applicants are responsible for ensuring that all information submitted is accurate, complete and truthful.

Only applications submitted through the official application form will be considered.

Submission of an application does not guarantee progression to the next stage, an interview or selection for the Programme.

4. Selection Process

Applications will be reviewed by representatives of PepsiCo and Raptor Marketing Ltd.

Applications will be assessed against a consistent set of criteria, including but not limited to:

  • Eligibility for the Programme
  • Quality of the written application responses
  • Creativity and originality
  • Quality of the submitted video
  • Demonstrated content creation skills
  • Understanding of social media and current cultural trends
  • Suitability for the Campus Ambassador role

Applicants who best meet the assessment criteria may be invited to progress to the next stage of the recruitment process, which may include an interview or additional assessment. Progression to an interview does not guarantee selection for the Programme.

Applicants may withdraw their application from the recruitment process at any time by notifying PepsiCo or Raptor Marketing Ltd in writing.

Applicants who are initially selected will be subject to a suitability assessment before their appointment is confirmed. This may include eligibility verification, a review of publicly available social media content, previous engagement or employment history with Raptor Marketing Ltd (where applicable), right to work verification, and any other checks that PepsiCo or Raptor Marketing Ltd reasonably considers appropriate to assess an applicant's suitability for the Programme.

PepsiCo reserves the right to withdraw an offer, remove an applicant from the recruitment process or disqualify any selected individual if they provide false or misleading information, fail to meet the eligibility requirements, decline to participate in any required vetting, or if the outcome of any suitability assessment identifies conduct or other matters that, in PepsiCo's reasonable opinion, make them unsuitable to act as a Brand Ambassador or otherwise do not meet the standards expected of representatives of the poppi brand.

Successful applicants will be required to enter into a separate Brand Ambassador Agreement (or other applicable engagement agreement) and complete any required onboarding requirements before their appointment to the Programme is confirmed.

5. The Programme
