TSM is a woman-owned event staffing and talent agency, founded in 2005, connecting brands with trained, local talent in 25+ U.S. markets. Choose your path below.
From first message to show close, one dedicated account executive runs the process — often a quote within minutes once your details are confirmed.
Send your event name and dates, the city and venue, your booth size, the roles and headcount you need, attire, and what the staff will be doing. The more you share, the faster and tighter the quote.
Start with Smart Quote: describe your event once and our AI compiles everything into one place. Your AE builds an accurate quote fast and sends a curated short list of profiles — interviewed and matched to your industry, audience and goals. You choose from a shortlist built for your event, not a directory.
Our AI builds each model a Client-Intelligence Brief — your brand, products, talking points and audience — that they study in the portal before the doors open. You get your own event brief to review and shape, too. The person at your booth sounds like they work for you, not a temp who showed up that morning.
Leading up to the show, the portal keeps your team and ours in sync with multiple proactive touchpoints and a firm confirmation before doors open — so coverage is locked in and a replacement window is protected if anything changes. On event day, talent greets and qualifies attendees and captures leads (Cvent, Compusystems, Validar, Klik, Bartizan); a team lead runs shifts and coverage — your booth stays covered to the final hour, never an early walk-off.
Local talent in 25+ U.S. markets — no travel costs.
Vetted pros, briefed on your brand every time.
One dedicated account executive, on-site.
You choose your staff from real profiles.
Insured & credentialed — woman-owned, founded 2005, MPI member, 5.0 on Google, $1M/$2M liability, COI on request.
Apply, get approved, set your availability, and accept the bookings that fit. You work events in or near your own city, and you know what a booking pays before you say yes.
Apply through our sign-up form with a few recent photos, your city, and any event experience. Upload a resume and our AI builds out your profile and bio for you — stripping your personal contact info. There’s no fee to apply or join. You must be at least 18.
We review every application and reach out to qualified candidates — often for a short phone or video interview — about opportunities in your market. No professional modeling experience is required.
Once you’re on the roster, your talent profile holds your photos, skills, languages and availability. Keep it current so your coordinator can match you to the right events.
Your AE matches you to events by role, market, language, experience and availability. Before each booking you get the event details and a Client-Intelligence Brief. Your rate is shared with each opportunity, so you know what it pays before you accept.
Talent work as independent contractors. Before your first booking you complete a W-9 and our talent agreement; you’re paid after the event without tax withholding, and receive a 1099 at year end.
Clients submit reviews after each event, and strong reviews improve your placement priority for future bookings. Show up prepared and reliable and you’ll see more work.
You don’t need a modeling background. We look for professionalism, reliability, strong communication, a polished presentation, and the confidence to represent a brand on a busy floor. Many of our best talent come from sales, hospitality, retail and marketing. Talent of diverse ages, looks and backgrounds — and all genders — work TSM events. We don’t require exclusivity.
Most staffing agencies email you a roster and hope. TSM runs one connected system where AI is the backbone that makes our people better — it does the research and the legwork so our account executives and our talent show up sharper and better prepared than anyone else on the floor. People still make every call that matters.
Describe your event once and our AI compiles everything into one place — venue, dates, booth size, roles, and the intelligence around your show. Your dedicated account executive uses it to build an accurate quote fast and to start lining up the right talent for your booth.
The talent you see has been interviewed and matched to your brand and event by your account executive — chosen for your booth, never a roster dump or whoever happened to be free.
Every TSM contractor agrees to published talent guidelines and a code of conduct before they represent you — professionalism, punctuality (on-site 15 minutes early), brand alignment, floor conduct. Training is the standard, not an upsell.
Before the show, our AI assembles each model a brief on your brand, products, talking points and audience. They study it in the portal — so the person at your booth sounds like they work for you, not a temp who showed up that morning.
You get your own brief to review and shape — talking points, products, dress code, goals. A sharp brief turns a staffed booth into a selling booth, and we build it with you.
Multiple automatic touchpoints in the run-up to your event, plus a firm confirmation before doors open, keep your team locked in and protect a replacement window if anything changes. Your booth is covered, not crossed-fingers.
Clients rate talent and talent leave feedback; strong reviews raise a model’s priority for future bookings. The people you’re offered have continuously earned their place.
Compile, quote, curate, brief, remind, perform, review — one connected system, run by people. That’s why a TSM booth runs sharper than a booth that’s merely staffed.
