When it comes to influencer marketing, more and more brands are looking to established bloggers or Instagram superstars with six-figure follower counts to promote their brands. Macy’s, however, is taking a different approach. The retail giant is instead searching internally within its store and corporate employees to find its next influencer partnership.

This month, Macy’s is ramping up the Macy’s Style Crew, a brand ambassador program open only to Macy’s employees. After test-driving the program with limited applications, all store and corporate employees across the country are now invited to apply.

Members of the Style Crew act as Macy’s influencers, but with a deeper connection to the brand itself, said Cassandra Jones, svp of fashion and digital strategy for Macy’s.
