Chosen through fan voting and committee review, the inaugural class begins a year of training, content creation, and brand appearances
Dallas, TX (Restaurant News Release) Twin Peaks Restaurant has named the 12 Twin Peaks Girls who make up the inaugural Peaks Elite class, a new brand ambassador program created to give standout women across the Twin Peaks system new opportunities to represent Twin Peaks, create content, and grow their personal brands.
Throughout their year as Peaks Elite, the women will be featured in Twin Peaks marketing and social content, appear at key events and activations, participate in community engagement, and collaborate with Twin Peaks and strategic brand partners. They will also receive content and media training, personal branding, and leadership opportunities designed to build their skills and expand their visibility and platforms. Selected from more than 200 applicants, the inaugural class represents 11 lodges across seven states.
“We created Peaks Elite to recognize and invest in some of the incredible women who bring Twin Peaks to life every day,” said Melissa Fry, chief marketing officer of Twin Peaks. “These 12 women stood out for how they represent our brand and for the personalities, talents, and ambitions that make each of them unique. Peaks Elite gives us the opportunity to support their growth, amplify their voices, and open doors to new experiences while helping them create great content, build their personal brands, and connect with our fans in an authentic way. I’m incredibly proud of this inaugural class and can’t wait to see what they do with it.”
The class was selected through a combination of fan voting and committee review. Fans cast more than 139,000 votes between Aug. 21 and Sept. 13, while a selection committee of Twin Peaks leaders and brand partners evaluated candidates on hospitality, professionalism, communication, leadership, social engagement, teamwork, and their ability to authentically represent the Twin Peaks brand, lifestyle, and culture.
The inaugural Peaks Elite class features a group of accomplished women with service at Twin Peaks ranging from just over one year to seven years. Collectively, they bring a mix of talents, experiences, and interests spanning competitive athletics, academics, art, content creation, fashion, and entrepreneurship. The class also includes former Miss Twin Peaks winners and finalists.
