Summer Game Fest staffing

Summer Game Fest staffing puts trained activation professionals, brand ambassadors and lead-retrieval talent on the ground for Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles — the video-game industry showcase week hosted by Geoff Keighley that launched in 2020 and centers on a live showcase from the Dolby Theatre, with the surrounding week built around streamed game reveals and announcements. (Note: E3, the former Electronic Entertainment Expo, has been discontinued; Summer Game Fest is the live event that anchors the gaming calendar in Los Angeles each June.) The audience is the industry itself — publishers, developers, hardware and platform makers, press and gaming media, content creators and the players following along — drawn to the reveals and the in-person activations that surround them. For brands running a hands-on activation, demo station or press space during the week, that talent greets and engages attendees, supports your demos, and captures every lead. TSM Agency is a woman-owned national event staffing and talent agency, founded in 2005, that recruits, vets, briefs and manages talent locally in Los Angeles — briefed on your title or platform before doors open and run through one dedicated account executive — so brands get a professional, on-message activation without flying in or housing a crew in LA.

Why it matters

What Summer Game Fest asks of an exhibitor

Summer Game Fest turns Los Angeles into the gaming industry's gathering point each June, and the energy around it is camera-aware and creator-driven — every demo, queue and photo moment can end up on a stream or social feed. For a brand running an activation during the week, the audience is a demanding mix: developers and platform partners evaluating your title, press and creators capturing content, and players who expect a polished, high-energy hands-on experience. The challenge is sustaining brand-aligned performance under constant attention while keeping demo queues moving and capturing the contacts that matter — a station that stalls, or a rep who can't carry the energy through a long day, costs you the moment on camera. The four roles below each address a different piece of running a professional, high-energy activation that converts attention into hands-on engagement and captured leads.

Front of the booth

Trade show models for Summer Game Fest

Summer Game Fest trade show models work the front of your activation so no attendee reaches your station unattended during a high-traffic week. With developers, press, creators and players cycling through your space, our Summer Game Fest trade show models greet and engage arrivals, manage demo-station queues, and open conversations so your team stays with the partners and media ready to talk. Because they're sourced in Los Angeles, you skip the airfare, hotels and per-diems an out-of-town crew adds during a busy LA gaming week. The outcome: every attendee is met and routed, your demo stations stay moving, and your team's time goes to the conversations that matter.

Traffic & attention

Promotional models for Summer Game Fest

Summer Game Fest promotional models drive traffic to your activation and keep your title in front of a high-energy gaming audience. In a week where brands compete for the attention of press, creators and players, our Summer Game Fest promotional models present your game, run giveaways and photo moments, and keep the activation active and approachable through long, camera-aware days — drawing in the developers, media and fans moving through the space. Each is briefed on your title, key features and the one action you want — a demo, a sign-up scan, a content moment. The outcome: more engaged traffic, captured rather than walking past to the next activation.

Brand & message

Brand ambassadors for Summer Game Fest

Summer Game Fest brand ambassadors represent your brand to a gaming audience where energy, accuracy and on-camera presence decide how the moment plays. Across press, creators, platform partners and players, our Summer Game Fest brand ambassadors are briefed on your title, positioning and talking points so they embody the brand consistently — walking attendees through gameplay, fielding feature and platform questions, and sustaining brand-aligned performance under the constant camera presence the week brings. For studios building a release narrative, ambassadors who carry the launch story cleanly across every interaction protect the message. The goal they serve: a polished, high-energy presence that turns reveals into hands-on engagement and qualified contacts.

The operational team

Full booth staffing for Summer Game Fest

As your Summer Game Fest event staffing partner we field the whole activation team behind the front line. That includes demo specialists who guide attendees through hands-on play and explain gameplay accurately; lead-retrieval specialists trained on Cvent, Compusystems, Validar, Klik and Bartizan so every developer, press, creator and player contact is scanned and qualified correctly in real time; presenters for stage and in-booth product reveals; queue managers for high-demand demo stations; bilingual talent for international press and developer communities; and a team lead to run check-in, breaks and coverage across the week. Our talent works through show close each day — never an early walk-off — so your activation stays covered to the final hour, not abandoned when the crowd thins. One dedicated account executive scopes the mix to your activation size and demo-station count and manages the team on-site, so your space stays professional and producing for the developers, press, creators and players engaging with your title.
