The talent platform behind unforgettable brand experiences
NowPromotions is a division of Phoenix New Times LLC, one of the country’s longest-running independent media companies. That parentage is not a footnote -- it is the reason brands and talent can trust what happens on this platform. It means real legal accountability behind every contract, established payroll and compliance infrastructure behind every payment, and an organization that has spent decades building credibility in the markets it serves, not a startup testing whether people will show up.
We connect brands with promotional models and event staff for product launches, trade shows, sampling campaigns, sporting events, nightlife activations, and more -- nationwide. What used to take a marketing team weeks of cold outreach, reference checks, and spreadsheet wrangling now happens through a single platform: post an event, review vetted talent, staff it, and get reporting back, all in one place.
Built for brands who need it done right, and talent who deserve to be treated like professionals.
Our mission
Make it simple for any brand, anywhere, to find and staff great promotional talent -- and make it simple for that talent to find consistent, well-paid, professionally run work. We measure success the same way our clients and our talent do: shifts staffed on time, brands who rebook, and models who get repeat assignments.
What we value
Accountability by default
Every assignment, payment, and rating is logged in the platform -- not tracked in someone's inbox. Brands and talent both get a system that remembers.
Vetted, not just listed
Talent on NowPromotions goes through identity verification and profile review before they can be staffed. We'd rather have a smaller pool we trust than a large one we don't.
Local knowledge, national reach
Our roots are in the Phoenix market, but the platform is built to staff activations in any city -- with the same standards for briefing, uniform compliance, and reporting everywhere.
Pay talent on time, every time
Promotional models and event staff are the product. A platform that's slow or unreliable to pay them doesn't deserve their best work, so we treat payment timing as a core commitment, not an afterthought.
