Evolvez Agency

What Evolvez Agency does

Evolvez Agency operates as a managed-service Brand Ambassador agency specializing in college campus marketing programs for CPG brands targeting Gen Z consumers. Founded in 2019 by Michael Spitalieri (CEO) and Rich Anand (COO) in Austin, Texas, the company recruits, vets, and deploys Brand Ambassadors across a nationwide network of 1,100+ campuses and 32,000+ pre-vetted students in all 50 states. Its core deliverables are three integrated services: on-campus product sampling, social media and UGC content creation (TikTok, Instagram, short-form video), and attribution reporting that ties each sample interaction to purchase intent and social performance metrics.

The technology stack centers on a deep integration with CreatorIQ for content approvals, social performance tracking, and earned media value measurement, combined with a proprietary centralized client dashboard that delivers real-time program data, weekly recaps, and attribution KPIs. Programs also rely on a 3PL warehouse fulfillment system for sample distribution. The company positions itself as a full-service alternative to in-house programs or scaled agencies, handling Ambassador recruitment, hiring, payroll and liability protection, FTC-compliant content reviews, and weekly reporting.

Evolvez sells custom-scoped, managed programs priced per Ambassador per semester (starting at $2,450 per Ambassador per semester for national coverage) through direct enterprise sales, with multi-year contracts structured around academic semesters (12–16 weeks). Its named customers include PepsiCo (Doritos, four consecutive semesters), Nestlé (Tapatío across three semesters; Hot Pockets across four), OLIPOP, American Licorice Co. (Sour Punch), and Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. The company is privately held, founder-owned, reports 1–10 employees, and has not disclosed external funding.
