Briefing
Briefed On Your Idea

Each person gets a pack drawn from your briefing form: product, audience, key lines, dress code and site plan.

Support
Cover Round The Clock

A project manager keeps an eye on every live booking, and help is a phone call away 24/7 until the final shift closes.

Scale
Small Crew Or Big Build

Book a single person for a quiet launch or a large crew for a build that runs over several weekends.

Who books
Agencies & Brands

Creative agencies, production teams and brand marketing departments all bring their live briefs to us.

Experiential events we staff, from pop-ups to arena takeovers

Eight crews, one booking line.

Most experiential events need more than one kind of person. These are the eight we supply most, mixed into a single team and with our operations team choosing who fills each role.

8 Crew Types

Built for brands, experiential marketing agencies and production teams

Your concept. Our crew.

We are a staffing partner, not a creative shop. Experiential marketing agencies UK wide hand us a lot of the jobs we run, passing over the people side and keeping the idea, the build and the client relationship.

01

Agencies

You sell the experiential marketing services, and the idea and the account remain yours. We recruit, brief, pay and manage the team under your brief, and stay in the background.

02

Production and build teams

Production companies and stand builders who have sold staffing as part of a build can hand the crew to us and concentrate on the structure itself.

03

Brands direct

Marketing teams running their own live campaign can book us direct and get the same briefing, support and costing as any agency brief.

No timesheets for you

Our own payroll team handles PAYE, tax and NI, and HR sits in house too, so your desk stays clear.

Checked first

Right to Work and ID confirmed for every person. Ask and we add DBS, food hygiene or alcohol licensing.

Insured by default

Every campaign we crew is backed by Employer and Public Liability insurance.

Dates that move

Plans change. We still take short notice bookings, though an early heads-up is always welcome.

How our experiential staffing agency turns a brief into a briefed team

Four steps, no guesswork.

Briefs reach an experiential marketing staffing agency from all sorts of places: brands, agencies and production companies. The route through is the same for one evening or a month of live dates.

1
Send the plan

Pass over your goals, locations, dates and shift times, plus a rough headcount. The creative stays with you.

2
Receive the costing

An itemised costing, usually back within hours, lists every role with its rate, its hours and its on-costs, and nothing is hidden. Billing is agreed there before any work starts.

3
Meet your crew

Once the quote is approved, a named account manager looks after your booking from then on. Our operations team chooses each person for their role and runs a briefing session for everyone, built from your form.

4
Shifts go live

Shift reminders are sent ahead of time, arrivals are logged on check-in, and your project manager remains on the job with 24/7 support behind them until it wraps.

UK Reach
One crew list, the whole UK.

Experiential event staff are selected from 6,000+ registered people and 40 UK hubs, so a launch in Aberdeen gets the same treatment as one in Exeter. Neighbouring sites can often be worked by one person, which cuts down how many people need briefing.

Aberdeen Glasgow Edinburgh Newcastle Leeds Manchester Liverpool Sheffield Nottingham Birmingham Cardiff Bristol London Brighton Southampton Exeter Belfast
Reporting
Reporting, if you want it.

Reporting is optional, priced as an extra and shaped around your campaign. What it covers is agreed with you and written up in your costing before anything is confirmed.

In your platform

We can log into the tools and apps your team already runs.

Our own forms

Or we build a bespoke form and send the answers back to you.

Settled first

Nothing gets bolted on later: it is all in the costing you sign off.

Experiential agencies: your staffing questions

Before you send the brief.
What is experiential marketing?
Experiential marketing puts people in a live, hands-on moment with a brand instead of in front of an advert. Pop-ups, launches, interactive installs, tours and experiential promotions all count. It is a form of face-to-face marketing, so the people running it on the day have a big say in what the audience remembers.
Do you come up with the creative too?
No, by design. We belong with the experiential staffing agencies that crew other people's ideas. Whichever experiential marketing agency owns the concept, we take care of hiring, briefing and paying the crew that delivers it, and the client stays with them.
Do experiential agencies book you?
Yes, regularly. Experiential marketing agencies UK wide and creative shops brief us, keep the client relationship and leave the crew to us.
Can production companies book you?
Yes. If a build was sold with the people included, hand the crew brief over and it is costed like any other job; we then brief and manage the team on site.
How much do experiential staff cost?
It depends on the sites, dates, hours, roles and numbers. Send those through and an itemised costing comes back with nothing tucked away.
How many people can you supply?
Experiential staffing runs from a lone person to 100+ on a single booking, all drawn from a register of 6,000+ people and picked to suit each role.
Can you staff London briefs?
Yes. Our experiential staffing agency London line is 0203 026 1069. For general crews in the capital, our event staff London page has the detail.
What about other UK cities?
We crew nationwide. For general city work there are pages for event staff Manchester, event staff Birmingham and event staff Leeds.
Will the crew understand our brand?
Yes. Before the event you fill out our briefing form, and it is turned into a pack covering your messages, audience, dress code and site layout. Everyone attends a briefing session too, and you can add a training call or an in-house session if you want one.
Can we keep one crew for a whole tour?
Yes. Note it on the brief, and the costing will cover one team for every date, which saves briefing new faces along the way.
How far ahead should we book?
Book in good time, especially for large crews and summer weekends. If a date shifts at the last minute, tell us: short notice cover is often possible.
Do you supply staff beyond experiential marketing campaigns?
Yes. We also crew brand activation work, general event staff bookings and exhibition staff for brands with a space at a show.
