Staffing & Logistics
Professional staffing and logistics support for seamless campaign execution so your activation runs smoothly from load-in to load-out.
Flawless execution
Strong creative only works with solid operations behind it. We provide trained drivers, brand ambassadors, and on-site managers, plus permits, setup, and logistics, so your activation runs smoothly from load-in to load-out.
Operational Support
Drivers
Our drivers are experienced with commercial vehicles, mobile kitchens, and activation-specific requirements including tight urban loading zones, festival grounds, and long highway legs between markets.
They understand that the vehicle is both transport and brand asset, and they operate accordingly: safe driving, careful parking, and professional conduct on site.
Driver capabilities:
- Fleet-trained on IgnitionXM vehicles
- Route familiarity across major markets
- Load-in and positioning support
- Coordination with site managers and clients
Brand Ambassadors
Professional brand representatives focused on engagement, education, and positive guest interactions. We recruit and train ambassadors on your messaging, sampling protocols, and experience standards before they represent your brand on site.
Whether you need a small team for an intimate launch or a large crew for a festival, we scale staffing to match crowd expectations and campaign hours.
Ambassador training covers:
- Product knowledge and key talking points
- Sampling compliance and hygiene standards
- Crowd flow and queue management
- Social content and photo opportunities
Permits and Coordination
Permits, municipal requirements, and venue rules vary widely by city and mistakes can shut down an activation fast. We assist with research, applications, and coordination across multiple markets so your program stays compliant.
Our team communicates with property managers, event organizers, and local contacts to confirm access, timing, and site-specific requirements well in advance.
Coordination support:
- Permit research and application assistance
- Venue and property manager liaison
- Insurance and documentation requirements
- Multi-market scheduling alignment
Setup and Teardown
Efficient setup and teardown maximize your time on site and minimize labor costs. Our crews follow detailed run-of-show documents so tents, vehicles, signage, and equipment come together quickly and come down cleanly when the event ends.
We build buffer time into schedules for unexpected delays without cutting into guest-facing hours.
Standardized checklists ensure nothing is missed, from power connections to brand collateral placement.
On Site Management
Experienced management teams oversee execution, staffing, and logistics throughout the activation. Site managers are your day-of point of contact handling issues in real time, directing crews, and keeping the experience aligned with your brand standards.
For tours and multi-day programs, tour leads maintain continuity across markets and provide consolidated feedback after each stop.
Management responsibilities:
- Run-of-show execution and timing
- Staff supervision and shift coordination
- Client and vendor communication on site
- Incident response and post-event wrap-up
Influencers & Content Creators
We connect brands with influencers and content creators who can bring your activation to life both on site and online. From authentic social coverage to professionally produced campaign content, creators help extend the reach of your experience beyond the people who attend in person.
Talent can be selected based on your target audience, market, platform, and campaign objectives to ensure the right fit for your brand.
Influencer & creator capabilities:
- Influencer sourcing and coordination
- On-site social media coverage
- Photo and video content creation
- Product demonstrations and reviews
- Branded content and campaign storytelling
- Social reach and engagement reporting
Chefs & Culinary Staff
Our chefs and culinary staff support food-focused activations, sampling programs, mobile kitchens, and live culinary experiences. We provide experienced professionals who understand both food service and the importance of representing your brand in front of consumers.
From simple product preparation to live cooking demonstrations and high-volume sampling, we can build a culinary team around the specific requirements of your activation.
Culinary capabilities:
- Professional chefs and cooks
- Live cooking demonstrations
- Product preparation and sampling

Street Teams & Promotional Models

Teams can be deployed for everything from targeted street-level campaigns to major festivals, sporting events, product launches, and multi-market activations.
Street team capabilities:
- Product sampling and distribution
