Our philosophy is built around humans, so we value calls over emails, meetings over calls, and experiences above all else. Read more about us

For over a decade we’ve led the market with our award-winning recruitment programme, affectionately known as the ‘auditions’. This ensures we source and retained the very best-in-class sampling staff in our industry. Our expertly trained and professional brand ambassadors will engage with your customers, making them feel comfortable and creating experiences that feel natural.

Content & Technology
With an ever-increasing need to ‘belong’ in the digital world, our LIVE sampling campaigns provide content that amplifies the experience, continuing the journey and providing insightful data.
Utilising new technologies and research, we’re constantly striving to enhance and innovate where possible. Whether through AR, VR, holograms or gesture recognition, we collaborate with the sectors leading specialists to ensure we’re ahead of the curve and challenge consumers to think, and react, differently.
Insightful Creative
Our in-house Creative & Design teams are relentless in their pursuit of creating unique product sampling experiences that inspire your customers, as well as being enjoyable, memorable and shareable.
Based on insight driven data, our planning teams will formulate a bespoke strategy, ensuring that we delivery a campaign that resonates with the target audience and amplifies your brand ethos.
Venues & Location
Understanding the right location for your brand – the consumer and their journey, the messaging, the call to action – is paramount in selecting where to go.
From over a decade of on-the-ground brand partnerships, we’ve devised a vast database of learnings to ensure pinpoint accuracy for every campaign. From events, festivals, retail-parks, shopping malls, and other commercial outlets, we understand location, location and location.
Logistics & Production
Our logistics team operates nationally, offering a full suite of services from storage, handling and distribution across ambient, chilled and frozen sampling products.
With an efficient, scalable platform, and an experienced team of sampling experts, we’ll ensure your product reaches your consumers in perfect condition, on time and on budget!
Evaluation & Bespoke ROI
With an ever-increasing mandate to justify marketing investment it’s vital we measure, track, record all campaigns in real-time – and up to 6 months post-launch – ensuring we’re maximising results.
By measuring control vs non we can deliver a bespoke ROI model for our campaigns. ROI metrics include sales uplift, conversion to purchase, brand advocacy and affinity, and content creation, depending on the brief.
