A:  We cannot predict how much work will be available in your particular area.  Our clients determine when and where people are needed.  In general, talent who keep in touch with their Event Coordinators, are quick to return their contracts and paperwork, and receive great feedback from our clients, are first to be considered for future events!  


A: Please send a ‘headshot’ and ‘full body shot’ - clear, smiling photos with classic, conservative clothing.  If you are unsure of what to send, feel free to send over a few different images, including headshots and full-body photos.  We do not require professional photographs, but your photos may be submitted to our clients for their approval, so you should look your best!  As your agency, we cannot reimburse you for cost of headshots, resumes or other such professional expenses.

A: Promotions professionals should have the standard accepted promotional gear for this industry: black pants, khaki pants, white collared shirt (button down and/or polo style), black closed-toed shoes, and clean white sneakers.  Some of our clients might provide you with a branded shirt for you to wear at an event, but at all times you should be presentable and neat.
