Jessica Stackpoole founded EventPro Strategies in 1999 after learning about experiential marketing as an industry insider: She worked as a freelance tour and market manager and event producer. 

In 1999 and 2000, EventPro Strategies operated as a one-woman shop in Asheville, North Carolina.  Fast forward 12-plus years, and EPS has expanded and established itself as the leading promotional event company with more than 30 full-time employees, and more than 40,000 field staff throughout the US & Canada.  EPS works with more than 10,000 staff per year, utilizing the same rock star talent consistently.  EPS is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, still has an office in Asheville, NC, and currently has  two additional remote locations in the US. A promotional event company that is focused on its global expansion as well as its domestic services, EPS is also incorporated in Canada with resources to implement the same innovative staffing and promotional event management strategies anywhere in the world outside the United States.

What’s more is that though we are noted most often as an award winning promotional event company,EventPro Strategies is also recognized as a leader in the experiential marketing industry, and known for its innovation in launching many “industry firsts” such as:


• First to secure $5M in liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage across all 50 states, Canada and other international locales.
• First to implement standard operating procedure to book 100 percent of all talent directly and never sub out to other agencies.
• First to reclassify and hire all talent as part-time employees, not independent contractors.
• First event staffing agency to develop client-centric technology solutions to include real-time data capture and assimilation, ROI measurement, lead generation tools, and customized talent training and talent testing.

EventPro Strategies has proven itself as a true pioneering promotional event company,and has been on the forefront of process engineering, operational standardization, large-scale staffing project management and innovative development for the experiential and event marketing staffing industry.
