High streets and city centres
Street Marketing Staff
Street marketing is brand activity carried out on foot in public places. Staff work a high street or a city centre, represent your product to the people passing, hand out samples or printed offers and collect sign-ups where the campaign needs them.
We supply the teams for that work across the UK. Street teams and brand ambassadors, leaflet distributors, costume characters and data capture teams. High street marketing is a volume format, so most campaigns book several staff across a full day rather than one or two.
Street work is booked by the day and by the number of staff on the ground, because how much of a city centre you can cover depends on how many people are out at once.
Fully itemised. Day rates, hours and on-costs, no hidden fees.

Staff we supply
Teams That Work On Foot
Street work is face to face and high volume. These are the roles we supply most often on high streets and in city centres, and any of them can be booked on their own or as part of a larger crew.
Roaming Street Crews
A roaming crew works an agreed stretch of the high street on foot. They represent your product to the public, deliver your key messages and hand over samples or information as they go.
- Engaging shoppers, workers and commuters face to face
- Delivering the messages set out in your briefing document
- Working a defined area across the hours you book
Suits: launches, app sign-ups, ticketed events, local openings
Hand To Hand Print Crews
Print crews put vouchers, flyers and menus directly into people’s hands as they pass, working the pavements and entrances you specify.
- Distributing vouchers, flyers, menus and promotional print
- Covering the pavements and entrances you specify
- Promoting nearby stores, venues and events
Suits: vouchers, scratchcards, menus, membership offers
Walkabout Performers
Walkabout performers work in full costume to pull attention towards the activity and bring people across to the rest of the crew.
- Visible from a distance in a busy street
- Posing for photographs with passers-by
- Booked alongside a distribution or sampling team
Suits: family brands, entertainment, seasonal campaigns
Sign-Up Crews
Where the campaign is built around sign-ups rather than giveaways, the crew collects details from the public on tablets or on paper, working to your own forms or platform.
- Collecting sign-ups, entries and contact details
- Working to your own forms or platform
- Explaining the offer before asking for details
Suits: charities, energy, finance, home improvement
On-Site Campaign Managers
On larger bookings an experienced manager works on site with the crew. They oversee the logistics, coordinate the staff and act as the point of contact for the council or the landowner.
- Overseeing the logistics on the day
- Coordinating the team across the shift
- Dealing with the council or the landowner on the day
Permissions
Pitches And Licences
Activity that stands still in a public place usually needs permission from the landowner, which in most city centres is the council. Where a permit or a licence is needed, we arrange it.
There is a cost attached to that and it differs from one council to the next, so it is quoted separately from the staffing. Tell us the format and the location and we will confirm what is required.
Where we work
City Centres We Cover
Staff are booked from the nearest of our 40 UK hubs, so crews are local to the city they are working in.
City centres we work in include:
Market towns and smaller high streets are covered the same way. A campaign running across several cities in one week is handled as a single booking.

Tell Us The Cities And The Dates
Let us know the cities, the dates, the hours and the number of staff. A fully itemised quote comes back, usually within hours, and we will confirm separately whether the format needs a permit in that location and what it will cost.
