Our Event Marketing Services

We cover the full range and life cycle of experiential marketing and the live event experience. This includes everything from concept, planning, and staffing before your event to production and management during the event to evaluation and reporting you can use to assess effectiveness after it’s all over.
So whatever your event marketing services needs are, we’ve got them covered. Read on to learn more about the various services we offer.

Event Staffing

When it comes to making your event a success, the single most important factor is the human element. Who will be standing in front of your customers and prospective customers, representing your brand? That’s why at ALI, we prioritize talent staffing above all else. Because without the right brand ambassadors to carry out the plan and make your event a success, little else matters.

ALI’s experienced and engaged Brand Ambassadors (BA’s) are responsible for distributing samples/premiums, delivering the brand message, generating leads, and interacting with consumers. Our BA’s are carefully selected on the basis of strong customer service and sales skills, so that they can truly act as your brand advocate.

Our database of nationwide W2 Variable Hour talent includes thousands of loyal, reliable, and experienced men and women, covering every major market. And thanks to our proprietary software, you’ll be able to access this database directly to participate in choosing the best talent for your event.

Brand Ambassadors (BA’s) are the face of the brand and are responsible for distributing samples/premiums, delivering the brand message, generating leads, and interacting with consumers. BA’s have strong customer service and sales skills and truly act as a brand advocate. We have a loyal and extensive database of male and female talent in every market nationwide who have multiple years’ experience as Brand Ambassadors. As a valued client, you, too, will have access to this network!

Digital Brand Ambassadors (DBA’s) are the face of the brand and are responsible for delivering the brand message, generating leads, and interacting with consumers online via social media, YouTube, Facebook Live and other online platforms.  DBA’s have a strong social media following and influence in their respective networks and act as a devoted brand advocate. We have a loyal and extensive database of talent in every market nationwide who have specific niche interests, skills, or experience that match your brand message. As a valued client, you, too, will have access to this network!

Our goal is to pair your brand with the right talent. That’s how we’re able to provide a wide variety of BA’s who specialize in on premise (bars, nightclubs) and off premise (liquor stores, grocery stores) promotions for beer, wine, and spirits brands. These individuals are well-trained on the execution parameters for each event, and will deliver your brand message while adhering to all applicable regulations about dealing with alcohol-related products.

Some key reasons for the beauty and self care market becoming a $532 billion dollar global industry has been the use of experiential marketing, on-site brand ambassadors and the explosion in popularity of beauty vloggers and influencers. Use our network of experienced and professional beauty brand ambassadors to represent your skincare, hair care, or cosmetic brand at an upcoming event or retail demo. Let our Beauty BA’s educate your consumers on site about the best application techniques, product attributes and products for their specific needs. The Beauty Brand Ambassador can execute by themselves or work in conjunction with licensed beauty talent to offer an even more complete ‘makeover’ experience.

The management of an event is just as important as finding the right talent to promote your brand. Promotion and event managers have hands-on promotions experience in addition to high-level managerial and communication skills. They will lead and motivate the promo team to work as a cohesive unit to achieve program goals. Managers are also responsible for all event reporting so you have accurate information to measure the success of your event. Our managers are professional and will interact with venue management and client representatives to meet challenges head on and execute a successful event.

Street team talent are BA’s who literally work at the street level. They can do anything from distributing flyers to passing out samples to holding signs for a grand opening or major sale. Their job is to make an instant impact by driving foot and car traffic to your nearby promotion.

An industry trade show can be a major opportunity for any business–as long as you draw the right attention to your booth! Trade show booth hostesses, narrators, crowd gatherers, and sales specialists represent your business and brand inside the tradeshow environment. Our trade show talent will communicate the brand message to tradeshow attendees, while also acting as lead generators and assistants to your company’s onsite sales representatives.

In-store retail demonstrators work inside big box retailers and liquor, convenience, or grocery stores to promote major consumer brands at the point of purchase. Demo talent can act as your brand’s live salesperson, educating consumers while also encouraging product purchase. We’ve seen sales lifts as high as 5000% when an ALI representative executed an in-store demonstration!

In 2019, the beauty and cosmetics industry was valued at $532 billion worldwide.  A key element in reaching those numbers was the use of experiential marketing and on-site brand ambassadors. Use our network of experienced and professional hair stylists, make up artists, and licensed cosmetologists and estheticians to represent your skincare, hair care, or cosmetic brand at an upcoming event. Let them give your consumers mini-makeovers or facials on site or educate them on the best products for their specific needs.

Mobile tour managers and staff that are contracted to go on “tour” to various stops across a specific region or even the entire country, promoting your brand. Often, when a mobile tour lands at an event destination, it becomes necessary to hire additional locally-based talent to assist with the event. If this happens, our mobile tour managers can supply the necessary staff to travel with the tour and also hire local talent in each market as needed to make your event a success.

Event production staff carries out the setup, maintenance and tear-down of your event. Trust ALI to provide your event setup staff, so that your onsite representative can focus on other key logistical and client service issues instead. Whether you need lighting and sound specialists or qualified labor to set up tents or to load and unload premiums from a truck, we can help you make it happen, ensuring that your event runs smoothly, safely, and on time.

In today’s international economy, it is critical for brands to develop multicultural promotional programs. Luckily, we at ALI can meet your staffing needs with brand ambassadors who are able to communicate with consumers in more than one language. Our talent covers a variety of cultures and nationalities, and can speak Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Russian, Polish, and Mandarin, just to name a few. Reach out to let us know which languages you’ll need for your audience.

A frequently overlooked segment for many brands is the LGBTQIA+ market. The buying power of the LGBTQIA+ community is currently reported at $3.7 Trillion. Brands need to connect with this community in an authentic way. We have brand ambassadors who proudly identify as LGBTQIA+ or as an ally, and who have experience working at community events and nightlife venues and are ready to represent your brands and/or services.

Event spokesmodels act as the face and voice of your brand, and are highly effective at engaging a crowd and driving traffic to your event. Our highly trained professional speakers will use their acting and performing experience to deliver your message with style at your next live event, promotion, or tradeshow.

Here at ALI, we know that ROI is more than a buzz word for you.

Real Time Evaluation & Monitoring

If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that very few events ever go exactly as planned. That’s why we’ve built real time feedback into our process. Our online reporting system allows field staff (our “secret shoppers”) to regularly update the progress of your event through feedback and photos, allowing both us and you to monitor those results in real time. This way, adjustments can be made as needed in a timely manner, whether it’s on the spot re-training of staff or changes to the event footprint.
