PEOPLE — Promotional Staff
Promotional staff, booked, briefed and managed for you
Promotional staff are the people who deliver campaign activity on the ground: retail days, events, demonstrations and street work. FOTS handles the sourcing, briefing, scheduling and management, arranges cover when plans change, and reports every shift back to you.
The problem we solve.
Staffing a multi-location campaign is an administrative job that quietly consumes a marketing team: rosters, no-shows, kit, timesheets and a scramble whenever a date moves.

What is managed staffing?
FOTS sources the people and runs the briefing, scheduling, management and reporting, so the team is operated for you rather than handed over.
What happens if someone cannot attend?
Cover is arranged from our network so the location still runs, and the change is reported to you.

Frequently asked questions.
- How quickly can staff be booked?
- Lead time depends on scale, location and specialism. Short-notice single locations are usually straightforward; national multi-day activity needs planning.
- Are staff insured and compliant?
- Staff are engaged, briefed and managed by FOTS with the appropriate checks and insurance for the activity.
- Can the same staff work across a campaign?
- Yes. Continuity is usually better for quality, and we schedule for it where availability allows.
