The #UltimateWildcat Ambassador Search is BACK bigger and better than ever before! 

Times are changing and the landscape is constantly shifting. Along with the trends, we are no longer looking for a traditional model and we’re not looking for a social media model or influencer either – this time we are looking for the ULTIMATE embodiment of BOTH and the ULTIMATE Ambassador to represent the brands.

The ULTIMATE Ambassador / Model / Influencer / Content creator in today’s society is someone who can encompass all aspects of being a Boss, a Business and a Brand. Someone who is able to represent a brand and is constantly striving for improvement, someone who is eager to learn and acquire the skills she needs in order to evolve and become the best at her game and the ULTIMATE version of herself.

The #UltimateWildcat Search powered by ASUS Vivobook Pro has been specifically designed to empower aspiring athletes, models, influencers and creators who would like to gain more experience and knowledge about the industry.

The competition extends an exclusive, once in a lifetime opportunity to the top finalists where they’ll have the chance to work and learn alongside some of the best creative talent in hopes of becoming the #UltimateWildcat ’23 and kickstart their model / influencer career.
