BBA’s are Banza team members that act as the face of the brand at field marketing events, primarily in-store sampling demos. BBA’s do 2-5 demos per week, usually on weekends and weekday afternoons/evenings. Demos typically last 4 hours and take place in grocery stores near you.

The goal of each demo is to get shoppers to sample and buy our products at the demonstration table by being outgoing, engaging, and giving them a tasty sample of our pasta.

This is the most important thing we do at Banza, and we truly value great people who get results. Every Banza team member – including our CEO - has spent hundreds of hours in grocery stores meeting our customers and selling Banza!

*Note the Banza Brand Ambassador program presents an opportunity for growth should you wish to grow into a full-time role.
