Below is our recent interview with Lauren Raimondi, Owner and CEO at All Aces Promotional Staffing:
Q: Lauren, tell us something more about the company?
A: All Aces Promotional Staffing is an award-winning event staffing agency specializing in conferences, experiential marketing programs, and product demos nationwide with capabilities throughout North America, the U.K., and Europe since 2007. We hire our staff as W2 employees nationally, so our clients are safe from misclassification and non-compliance of labor laws, which allows us to work with large-scale companies globally. We are also a certified woman-owned business with the WBENC, WOSB, and WBE certifications; this helps meet our clients’ minority requirements as well.
Some of our awards include the Best of Staffing award 6 years in a row, Corporate Insider’s Event Staffing & Management Firm of the Year, and one of the 50 Smartest Companies of the Year. Technology is important to us, and we use a robust talent portal that is an end to end solution, allowing our internal team and our clients to efficiently manage programs in real-time. Having a family-like culture has always been important, and it empowers the whole team to come up with ideas that help the company grow.
