Dhwani was a great find. She really studied and prepared, and was comfortable interacting with visitors and sharing our message, prices, and technical details. The trade show was a great success, and I knew I could rely on Dhwani when things got hectic. Positive, easy to talk to.
Wow! I was absolutely blown away with my experience with Eleven8 Event Staffing. I've owned my own event planning company for 24 years and had been struggling to find a staffing company that could deliver the high level of customer service I expect. My initial inquiry was responded to almost instantly, the booking process was flawless, and communication was seamless. The server they sent out to my event was just darling and really nailed white glove service. He was professional and personable and ready to jump in wherever needed. He rose up to the challenge of serving 33 adults a plated meal in a confined space with a smile on his face!! I cannot say enough about my delightful encounter and plan to use Eleven8 many many times in the future!
Neuro
Neuro needed to execute early-morning product sampling activations with Diplo Run Club across multiple major US markets. The campaign demanded precise logistics, consistent brand representation, and teams capable of engaging wellness-focused runners loyal to competing energy drink brands. High-volume distribution requirements and tight setup windows increased the risk of late arrivals, no-shows, or compromised booth execution. A combined booth-activation and mobile street-team strategy was implemented in each market, supported by centralized training and local team leads. Proprietary staffing software sent automated reminders and enabled real-time mobile check-ins to prevent attendance issues. Backup staffing protocols ensured substitutes could be deployed quickly, and team leads arrived ahead of the rest of the crew to protect setup timelines. Post-event reporting and debriefs helped standardize messaging while refining tactics across cities. The program activated across 6 major US cities and maintained consistent execution despite before-dawn call times. Each activation distributed 9,000 samples, expanding reach beyond event attendees through surrounding high-traffic street-team touchpoints. No activations were missed and no staffing delays occurred due to the software-driven coordination and backup coverage. The dual-channel presence increased consumer engagement and supported Neuro’s positioning as a healthier alternative to traditional energy drinks.
