Can your San Diego brand activation staff hold a creative brief?+
Yes — that's why we exist. Showcraft's activation roster in San Diego is drawn from performer and hospitality backgrounds, so they can stay on-brief while improvising the in-between moments. We staff to the creative concept, not just headcount, and run a brief in advance of every activation.
Are your San Diego brand activation staff W-2 employees?+
Yes. Every activation staffer Showcraft deploys in San Diego is a W-2 employee with payroll, workers' comp, and general liability coverage. COIs are issued naming your venue, agency, and client. In California, the structure is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
How early should we book brand activation staff in San Diego?+
