Three ways we run street teams in Chicago.

Guerrilla moments
Fast pop-up sampling, flyer drops and signup drives timed to local moments.
What good street teams looks like.
Street teams win on timing and placement. We map the corridors where your audience actually walks, schedule crews for the hours that matter, and count every hand-off with a timestamp and location, so you see where samples landed instead of an estimate at the end of the day.
What's different about street teams in Chicago.
Chicago is a convention city with a neighborhood soul. McCormick Place books the big shows, and the rest of the calendar runs through Wrigleyville, the Loop and the lakefront. We cast local crews who know the city block by block.
Sidewalk and public-space rules vary by neighborhood, so routes are planned around local permit rules. McCormick Place has strict union jurisdiction over freight, rigging and some booth work, so brand staff roles are scoped carefully. Winter weather slows load-in from December to March. Street sampling in some neighborhoods needs a permit.
