Staffing well requires people who handle demo rotations across connected halls, shift between C-suite and consumer audiences, and project energy on day four. TSM is a talent agency rated 5.0 stars on Google with a network of 2,000+ staff across 25+ cities. We supply trade show models, promotional models, and brand ambassadors in Orlando who pre-qualify visitors, organize lead sheets in real time, and coordinate demo timing so your team never wastes a conversation. Exhibitors who staff Orlando and then move to Chicago’s McCormick Place use TSM in both markets to carry the same briefing process and lead standards from OCCC to the Midwest.
How Local Orlando Staff Outperform Fly-In Crews at OCCC
Flying a crew into Orlando adds airfare, I-Drive hotels, and the risk of staff who do not know the building. As a modeling agency operating in Orlando since 2005, TSM draws from a local roster familiar with OCCC’s multi-hall layout, resort venue logistics near Lake Buena Vista, and the rhythm of Central Florida conventions. They show up rested and ready for long days.
As a talent agency focused on trade show execution, TSM briefs teams on your brand before the show opens. They greet attendees, collect badge data, answer preliminary questions, keep lead sheets organized, and coordinate demo timing so your sales reps stay locked into closing. CEIR research shows 84% of exhibitors invest in booth-staff training to convert floor traffic into qualified pipeline.
Booths that stay active through the final hour outperform those that fade after lunch. Local staffing makes that consistency possible at OCCC. TSM is also a proud member of MPI (mpi.org), connecting with event planners and brand marketers nationwide.

I had to take the time to post this review. Simply stated, the TSM Agency is the best model staffing agency we have ever worked with. Our account executive, Caryn, was prompt and professional. We only had two days to staff two models. We came to an agreement and had our models in the same day I initially contacted them.

The TSM Agency is our go to model staffing company. Our account executive is so easy to work with and knows the industry inside and out. But what really separates TSM from the other companies we have worked with in the past are their models. TSM Agency trade show models are just the best. When you talk to the girls you can tell TSM treats them well and that they are very loyal to the agency. The girls always come prepared and on time. They are a joy to work with and their smiles are infectious! I can’t say enough. It makes me very happy to see our competitors enviously looking at us because our trade show models are doing such a great job and our booth is always packed.

Keila and Kirsten were exactly what we were looking for from our trade show models. For our previous show we flew a couple of employees to work the show and, no offense to them, we will never do that again. Professional models were far better at generating leads for us; the entire reason we did this event is Las Vegas. Our models were well prepared, dressed professionally, kept up an amazing energy during every day of the show and help us demo our products. Caryn, our TSM Agency account executive, did an amazing job and provided the perfect models.

Thank you TSM Agency! We have never received so many leads as we did this year at the World of Concrete Show. Our models were great and we want to staff the same girls next year. They performed above and beyond our expectations. Thank you TSM!
