Rather specific question: does anyone have experience working with a college student who organically promoted service or product on their physical campus? If so, how did you find them initially and how successful was the effort?

This is about validating/bootstraping an idea that requires a set of users in the same physical and social space, and as I have no confidence in myself or my direct friends being able to create the right seed culture for this, I’m trying to find a person within an existing community (like at a university) who can. To be clear, I’m not looking for like a one off, Tupperware party style infleuncer, but almost like a social evangelist for the product who can stick with it for a few months and who can also tell me why the product sucks

Tinder and red bull are really good at this. In Europe they're called campus ambassadors.

It sounds like you're describing "flyering", where you have a group of people handing out flyers in a space where large groups normally travel. A common example is college clubs advertising for new members in their campus quad, during passing periods. Is this what you mean?
