  Outex Ambassadors and Collaborations Thank you for your interest in joining our outdoor photography community. Our brand wouldn’t be what it is today without the support from our worldwide community of photographers. We don’t buy influence or placement by giving away product in exchange for posts or reviews. We instead foster engaging, relevant, educational, entertaining content thru genuine relationships with folks that want to be contributors and make the community better in some way.  In other words, every single one of our ambassadors and collaborations started with Outex customers. There’s no application process, or specific rules. Once you purchase and use the Outex gear, you can start participating and creating content as you see fit and relevant for your own audience. We encourage you to tag/notify us so we can track, react, answer questions, contribute, and assist in promoting your work and your story accordingly. For consideration, please tag #Outex @realOutex on social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) and contact us at info@outex.com with our video, review, or other contribution examples along with your reason for the interest in the collaboration. We can’t wait to hear from you!
