The StuckForStaff.com Guide to working in Promotions & Field Marketing
Please note: You have left to view and print this guide
Joining agencies
There are a huge amount of promotional and field-marketing agencies across the UK, and you can be with as many of them as you want.
You can choose to accept as much or as little work as you like, although if you turn an agency down too often, they are likely to stop offering
you work.
Until StuckForStaff.co.uk came along, finding out about new agencies was left to word of mouth. But with a comprehensive directory of details for
over 326 agencies in the UK, StuckForStaff.co.uk members can now register with a lot more agencies, and be booked for a lot more work! In order to get
you started though, we have listed 5 agencies in this Guide.
When applying to join an agency, you should give them a call first to find out their application process. Many agencies have a specific
registration form that they require you to fill in, so this will save time, instead of sending your CV and them sending it back with a form.
The agencies we have listed below allow you to join over the internet too – a quick and easy way to apply.
Once you have joined an agency, it is a good idea to get to know the agents/bookers, as they will be giving you the work, and thinking of you when
a suitable job comes up. This is not to say you should try to be their best friend and ask them out for drinks, but just be aware of who they are,
and the odd phone call to let them know when you are available etc. will put you in a good position. Always be friendly and polite – if you help
them out and do a good job, and don't cause any grief or embarrassment to the agency, you will get booked for good future work. In the same way,
if you mess up on a job, slack off or cause problems, the agencies are unlikely to use you again.
Agencies
Contact information correct at time of publication – please check websites to be sure. Don't worry if you don't live near one of these
agencies – most will have work available all over the state.
