Annie was helping customers find products and departments located throughout the store in both Spanish and English during her shift. She\u2019s not just a great representation of Advantage, but a great ambassador for Target, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Annie was a retiree when she joined Sunflower Group five years ago, \u201cafter running out of projects to do around the house,\u201d she says. After a year away during COVID when sampling was put on hold, she returned last year to the job she loves, working across multiple Target stores in the San Diego area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCustomers see our associates as an extension of the store team and brand,\u201d Myers says. \u201cAnnie knew as much about the store layout and inventory as she did about the specific products she was sampling. She even had to make an on-the-fly adjustment because of store inventory levels, but she makes it all seamless to the customer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From bilingual assistance to agile product presentations, Annie plays an important role in shaping the retail consumer experience\u2014bringing warmth, clarity and engagement to every store visit she touches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you to all associates out there representing our brand and retail partners,\u201d Myers says. \u201cOur customers appreciate your dedication, your knowledge and your smiles. Keep up the great work!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout August, Advantage Solutions is recognizing the contributions of its tens of thousands of front-line team members who work millions of hours in the field serving our brand and retail partners.
