Taylor Bradburn is a junior here at U of M, and is majoring in Communications with a minor in Digital Studies. She has written for The Odyssey and is now writing for Her Campus! She is actively involved in the Greek community, and was the former Public Relations Vice President of Gamma Phi Beta. She has just been elected as Public Relations Vice President of the University of Michigan Panhellenic Council. Given Taylor’s campus involvement, it makes perfect sense that Victoria’s Secret Pink would choose her to represent their brand on University of Michigan’s campus.
Her Campus: How did you become a VS Pink campus rep for the University of Michigan?
Taylor Bradburn: Last year I was on the VS Campus Team. I had a great experience working with the old reps and with PINK in general. I applied for the position, interviewed, and got it! Over summer they flew us all out to Colombus, Ohio where PINK is headquartered. Here, we participated in a three-day brand training certification. It was so much fun to hang out with all the PINK campus reps and we even got to meet the main PINK Model Rachel Hilbert. She was just as pretty and awesome in person.

HC: Why did you want to become a VS Pink campus rep?
TB: I always have been interested in becoming a campus rep because of my interest in branding and advertisement. When I saw this opportunity, it just made sense to me- and now I love it!
Â
HC: What do you do as VS Pink campus rep?
TB: Campus reps plan events, giveaways, and other campus engagement events! As a campus rep, my job is to bring the PINK brand to campus and create a buzz!
Â
HC: Do you get lots of amazingly cute free stuff?
TB: I get the most amazing things ever! I love getting home from class to a box from PINK. Most recently we were sent the new cross over neck pullovers to wear to the fashion show. They are amazing, and so comfy! I am obsessed with all the PINK stuff I’ve gotten. My friends love to tease me about how much I rep the clothes.
Â
HC: What’s the best part of being VS Pink rep—besides all the amazingly cute free stuff, of course?
TB: I love working for PINK. The company itself is so people oriented. I honestly have had such a wonderful experience.
Â
HC: Is there a way for girls to get involved as VS Pink campus reps for U of M in the future?
TB: Yes! We are putting out applications this coming week to be on the campus team next semester! If anyone would like to receive this they can shoot me over an email at taybrad@umich.edu.
