The Big Shot are recruiting a troop of Gen Z-ers (born after 1997) to help guide brands who want to promote their products and services to young people. Who better to help them, than people actually your age? 

We started BIG Shot to help brands ensure their campaigns resonate with the right audiences, but also to give young people a platform to have their opinions, ideas and perspectives heard - while also providing hands-on work experience. 

If you prove yourself as a BIG Shot, you’ll have the opportunity to turn this into a part-time job or apprenticeship*
