FAQs
We’re Client-Safe.
We’re adults, and very lovely ones. We’ve been in the business for over a decade and our instincts are great. You can put us in front of clients without worry.
All we need is power and Space.
Our activations require one or two standard dedicated 15amp 110v power circuits available at all venues. We ask that you provide table-space or the equivalent to one or two common 4’ or 6’ wide standing height bar tables.
We Provide All Staffing.
We provide all the staffing required to run our experiences, typically 3 to 6 engaging designers. Our staff can deliver sales messaging, or can coordinate with the client’s sales teams to strategically hand-off leads.
Our pricing is always all-in.
We charge on a project basis. There are never any overages or surprises. We take care of our equipment, guest experience, consumables, branded packaging, and our travel. We do ask that you handle any venue/union related fees, but we rarely trigger such fees as we bring our equipment into venues by hand.
6 weeks lead-time
All pricing is based on 6-weeks lead-time from signing our SoW and making a 50% deposit. We can do shorter timeframes, but we’ll need to add some budget to cover increased shipping, sourcing, and staffing costs.
