Summer is upon us, which means festival season is in full swing!

This past weekend was a whirlwind of events for us; Super-star Betsy led 40+ staff in Nashville who ROCKED the CMA Fest while other BMT-er’s played games with the kids in Murfreesboro.  Jet over to Pennsylvania and you’d find more friendly faces distributing premiums (and premium liquor) to NASCAR fans at the Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, while our promotional models in King of Prussia greeted consumers and executed giveaways!

The Staffing Swarm - A Community Is Born

I want to thank every one who came out to the Staffing Swarm at the Event Marketing Summit 2011 in Chicago. It was well attended and a success on all counts.

Allow me to back up a little and speak about the months and days leading up to the event.  When I initially put the word out, there was some skepticism; which I completely understood. Some people did not know me, or, even if they did know me, they weren't sure of the motives behind such an event.  After the first few days of awaiting RSVPs with little response, I was not sure how it was going to play out.

As the Event Marketing Summit grew closer, more and more people signed up, including some I had never spoken to!  It felt like the event was starting to gain some traction.

Cut to:

Day of the Staffing Swarm, 12:05pm: I am sitting there with only one other person.  All the doubts of “throwing a party that nobody comes to" started to creep in...Did I not send out enough reminders? Is the location too hard to find? Do people not want to leave the main floor of EMS?  Was I foolish to think competitors would want to meet?

Shortly thereafter, people began filtering in and within minutes, representatives from 8 dynamic agencies were breaking bread together and sharing information, laughs, and war stories.



During EMS, I had some great conversations with other agency reps who were unable to make the lunch. (A complete list to follow)

The entire experience made me very proud to be in an industry where I am constantly surrounded by creative, insightful, caring, helpful people. It made me think twice before I spoke ill of others in my industry.

It is so easy to find fault from afar, but when you shake someone's hand or look someone in the eye, judgement and differences melt away.  The Staffing Swarm made me realize that as much as it seems like a new staffing agency springs up every week, there are only so many of us in the world that can do what we do. It made me realize that we are, in fact, a community. 


Community has become such a buzz word in our industry that its meaning can easily be diluted. It's what social media is always trying (sometimes forcing) to create. While it was dawning on me that I am part of an actual, living, breathing community, I now see exactly why everyone is trying so hard; there is so much power and leverage within a community. When you get a group of like-minded individuals or companies with similar goals, so much more becomes possible than what any one person or company could do on their own. The whole is infinitely greater than the sum of its parts.


This leverage and power can be shared and applied to so many things that serve common goals. Leverage and power are what cause major shifts in any industry. Leverage and power can ultimately make or change laws.


Skeptics might say that it is foolish to help someone you are competing with; "Every man for himself and let the market see who comes out on top."  That is one way of looking at it, but I believe that there are so many other ways we can help each other and still "Compete on Game Day".


If we choose to put the combined wisdom/tools/etc. together, the advantages that all involved can gain are enormous. In other words, you and I can improve each other's performance during the week and still battle on the weekend as fierce competitors. We can have it both ways.

At the end of the day, we are all looking for mostly the same things: profitable projects, great promotional staff, solid employees, and caring clients (just to name a few).

Thanks again to those who are creating this community together.

I am so grateful that I had this opportunity and am very hopeful for the future of our new-found community.

What is going on with BMT- A Bunch!

Good Afternoon ladies, gentlemen....others,

We have many jobs coming up that we want to tell you about but first we thought this would be a great time to let everyone know all the exciting things going on here at the home office in Little Five Points-Atlanta-GA.

First of all, we want to bring you up to speed on the people on the BMT Core Team:

Marcus Collier is our new Operations Manager. Marcus brings years of experience in the event world, specifically in the areas of staffing and food and beverage. Marcus walks softly, carries a medium sized stick and brings a great sense of balance to BMT. He will oversee the staffing department and help us continue to improve and implement systems which make us efficient and effective.

Candace Williford will continue to staff events with her zest for life and can-do attitude. She always finds the best and the brightest out there. If you are lucky, you may get to see her do one of her many "happy dances".

Kari Frea continues to be our Office Manager and handle all logistics.  Also, if we need something done, and if it fits in no set department, Kari can handle it. Without Kari, there is no BMT.

We have had Charleston Edwards on loan from his company for the last few months, Harmonious Events. He has run the last couple of large conventions for us and has helped us raise our game to even higher levels. We already have him on the books for a few more events later this year.

We staffed Cisco Partner Summit 2011 in New Orleans a few weeks ago and hired 175 people for 4 days. It was an amazing event. We impressed even ourselves with the level of commitment, love, care and service that the team brought to over 4,000 attendees. (Click this photo for a closer look).

In the next few weeks, we are staffing events at:

• Racetracks in Talladega, Martinsville, and Richmond 
• Some on-campus events at The University of Kansas, Michigan State, and UNC. 
• Conferences in Atlanta and Houston. 
• Additional promotions are taking place in Jacksonville and Dallas.

If you are not already on board, what are you waiting for?  We want to invite you work with us. Ask those that do, they can tell you that we offer more than just a paycheck. We offer a chance to raise your standards, be more than you thought you could be, offer life lessons which will pay dividends at future jobs and have you work with some pretty amazing people.

If you live in any of the above cities, and are not yet on our email list, email staffing@bmtpromo.com and mention that you saw this blog and want more information.

Then go to the contact page on our website and sign up for free email blasts whenever we have work coming to your town.

Last thing, if you are in the Chicago area, we will once again be at this year's Event Marketing Summit May 16-18, 2011. If you want a chance to say hello to us in person, let us know.

Thanks for checking in with us, see you real soon.
