Lollapalooza brand activation staffing.
Lollapalooza puts a huge crowd in Grant Park for four days, right in the middle of downtown Chicago. The festival is inside the fence, but the brand moment starts on Michigan Avenue and the train platforms.

Three plays that work at Lollapalooza.
In-park activations
Hosts and sampling crews for sponsor footprints across Grant Park.
Downtown street teams
Crews on Michigan Avenue, the Loop and transit stops as the crowd arrives and leaves.
After-shows
Check-in and hospitality for brand-hosted after-shows around River North and the West Loop.
What changes at Lollapalooza.
Chicago street sampling in some areas needs a permit. Summer heat and lake storms both shape the plan, so every outdoor shift has a weather call.
Every Lollapalooza crew gets the same brief, the same run of show and a team lead on site. Ambassadors check in with GPS at the start of every shift, log counts and photos as they go, and the recap is ready within hours, not weeks after the festival ends.
Who you're reaching at Lollapalooza.
Lollapalooza skews young and city-based, with a big out-of-town crowd staying in downtown hotels. Because the park sits in the middle of the Loop, the crowd walks, rides the L and fills nearby restaurants before and after the gates open. That makes downtown street moments as valuable as the footprint inside.
