Staff Playbook is a promotional staffing agency built by the team behind Feet On The Street Co. Brands, agencies and venues use it to book approved promo staff who represent the brand properly and turn attention into sign-ups, samples and sales.
The staffing challenges we solve
Representing your brand
Promo staff are your brand face to face. Every talent member is reviewed and approved before they can be booked.
Multi-city roadshows
Campaigns that tour the country need local teams at each stop. Add every location to one brief.
Weekend and launch spikes
Activations often run over a few days. Book by the shift and scale down when the campaign ends.
Sampling compliance
Food and drink sampling needs people who handle product safely. Tell us your requirements and we'll match against them.
Briefing consistency
A campaign only works if everyone delivers the same message. Brief details go to your team before the shift.
Agency workloads
Agencies running several client campaigns can manage every booking from one client portal.
