"THE OTHERS"
Typical field-marketing agency
IGNITE PRODUCTIONS
Veteran-owned. Operator-built.
01
Staffing speed
✕ 2–3 weeks for a 'rush' market, with crew you've never met.
✓ 48-hour rush window. Same crew, every market. We don't sub it out.
02
Quote transparency
✕ Bundled markup, line-item ambiguity, surprise change orders.
✓ Line-item quote. Crew cost, fees, and pass-through clearly broken out. No surprise invoices.
03
Compliance & certifications
✕ Ambassadors 'should be' TIPS-certified. Food handler cards 'on request.'
✓ TIPS/TABC/RBS, ServSafe, and category-specific certifications verified per shift. COIs on file before deployment.
04
Reporting & recap
✕ PowerPoint sent 9 business days after the event. Photos missing. Counts estimated.
✓ Auto-generated recap inside Spark within hours. GPS-verified counts, photo capture, ambassador notes.
05
Subcontracting
✕ Bid won by national, delivered by a local sub you'll never know.
✓ Direct employer-of-record. Captains in every market on our roster, not a vendor's.
06
Communication
✕ Account exec. Junior PM. Subcontractor PM. 3 emails deep before you reach anyone with authority.
✓ Senior account lead with category background. One PM, one phone number, one invoice.
07
In-house tech
✕ A spreadsheet. Maybe a CSV from a third-party staffing platform.
✓ Spark — proprietary field-ops platform. Live dashboard, request intake, GPS check-ins, recap engine.
08
Geographic coverage
✕ Top 10 markets in-house, the rest 'we partner with locals.'
✓ All 50 states, 200+ named metros, 257K+ vetted ambassadors. No partner network markup.
