Every event manager has moments like this!
Experience teaches us that no matter how well you plan something, always expect the unexpected. No one knows this more than an experienced events planner. The saying “the best laid plans” comes to mind!
For example when organising a conference, often the events manager is distracted at the start of an event with last minute demands from speakers, clients or staff and cannot give attention to welcoming guests at the registration desk. With this in mind, even the most experienced event manager is likely to lose nerve as hundreds of guests start to pour through the doors at the start of the conference and understandably so.
This is why hiring events staff is crucial. In order for your speakers and clients to feel welcome and appreciated, it is essential that someone meets and greets them at the registration desk. Event staff can assist in a myriad of ways, from escorting speakers to the speaker ready room to ushering guests into the conference auditorium to making a conference badge for someone who hasn’t registered and not forgetting looking for a speaker a few minutes before he is due to speak! The list goes on and you’ll come to realise hiring event staff is fundamental for ensuring successful onsite management.
Our corporate event staff are experienced in running business to business events such as conferences, annual general meetings, summits, workshops, seminars and roundtable events. Our corporate event staff have worked at major conferences held in the city for clients such as Investment Banks and Law Firms. Our staff will deal with your event requirements and your guests and clients in a professional and articulate manner. For larger conferences where you require a large team of event staff we will allocate a team leader to manage all event staff onsite and will act as a central point of contact for you.
If you would like to hire our corporate event staff for your upcoming conference, congress, symposium or seminar, feel free to contact us.

If you think you have what it takes to work for a promotional or event staffing agency, consider the tips below which we hope will help you in the right direction.
– Photos:
Firstly you’ll need a selection of good photos. Although it’s beneficial to have professional photos, it’s not completely necessary. Photos must be clear. A head shot and full body photo is enough.
– Specifics:
Some of our clients request promotional staff of a particular height, shape or size. Ensure you give the correct specifics – height, weight, build, eye colour, hair colour etc.
– Experience:
Experience is key when applying for a position with us. We want to know why we should hire you, why our clients want you to represent their company at an event, marketing or promotional campaign. This is important so be sure to list promotional agencies or event staffing agencies and brands you have experience working for. Also mention the roles you’ve worked in for example event hostesses, promotional model, conference staff, costumed characters..etc.
– Skills:
We often get very specific requests from clients who are looking for event staff with a particular skills or abilities – such as multilingual staff, fitness models for sports events/exhibitions, people who can present well (for example live presenters at exhibition stands), modelling experience, actors/actresses..etc. Ensure you highlight these skills when applying.
– References:
List references, one is good but two referees are better!
– Case Studies:
This really will help you land a job! Give an example of a case study. For example if you’ve worked at an exhibition, how many leads did you generate? Or if you’ve worked for a particular client, were they so impressed that they requested you to work for them again?
Remember the more information you provide the agency the easier it is for us to promote you to our client and the more chances you have of getting work. The promotional and events staffing industry can be competitive so be sure to promote your skills and experience.

Is there a need for another event staffing company? What differentiates us from the rest of the event & promotional staffing agencies out there?
Whilst some event staffing agencies promote their services as a modelling agency, we believe our event staff offer more than just their good looks. Aside from this, many event staffing agencies have thousands of staff on their books and allocate jobs based on staff availability rather than experience. We understand that experience is everything and with so many different types of events and promotional campaigns, hiring event staff with specific experience is crucial. We’ve realised that the “one face fits all” “jack of all trades” approach is not appropriate. You can’t be all things to all men! As such at Event Protocol we have three teams with very specific skills and experience:
We have corporate events staff who are specifically experienced in working at corporate events, conferences or B2B exhibitions for governmental organisations, investment banks, law firms and some of the biggest blue chips in the UK. Our corporate event staff are experienced in working in the business to business environment and can deal with your event requirements and ultimately your delegates in a proficient manner.
Our promotional staff are selected based on their ability to engage the audience and showcase your product or service in a friendly, upbeat but professional manner. They are in the industry what we call brand ambassadors and they serve as an extension to your marketing event campaign. Whether it be fashion shows, motor shows, product or store launches or experiential marketing campaigns we can provide promotional staff or models with specific skills and experience. We handpick our promotional staff who we feel fit not only your brief but also your brand and values.
We will be launching our catering and hospitality event staffing services soon. However, you can expect the same level of service and experience as with our corporate events and promotional events staff.
Our recruitment and selection criteria is tough so you can rest assured that we only hire event staff who have at least 2 years experience working within the promotional event staffing industry. By developing teams with specific experience we believe we add value to the service we provide to our clients.
So if you were to ask us if there’s a need for another event staffing agency we would most definitely say YES!
So watch out for us…we’ll be coming to an event near you soon!
