A quick refresher: Why we partnered with Pro Purpose
Earlier this year we shared why Mash Staffing joined the Pro Purpose movement—so every brief can create a tangible good beyond the venue floor. If you missed it, here’s the backstory and the values that guide us: Mash Staffing partnering with Pro Purpose to transform lives. Our goal is simple: when you book event staffing, you also back life‑changing projects that lift communities.
What’s new: the Impact Tracker
(as at 30 September 2025)
Pro Purpose has updated our Impact Tracker. Mash Staffing is part of the collective impact created by the Pro Purpose movement. Together we’ve helped deliver:

How event staffing fuels impact
(the model in a nutshell)
When brands and agencies engage Mash for event staffing—from Brand Ambassadors supporting an experiential roadshow to Conference Staff moving delegates through registration—we contribute through Pro Purpose to vetted projects across water, education, safety and livelihoods. You get high‑performance staffing solutions; local and global communities get practical support that changes lives.
This is not a side project. It sits inside how we brief, train and look after people. Neil Burton’s leadership focuses on recognition, purpose and progress. Our teams feel it. Your audiences feel it. And it shows in the way our Promotional Staff, Corporate Event Staff and Retail Staff show up at every activation.
Why this matters to brands and agencies
Choosing a supplier is more than a rate card. With Mash, your event staffing spend helps deliver outcomes that are easy to explain to stakeholders:
Clear, human outcomes
Water wells repaired. Safe maternity appointments. Nights of secure housing. These are practical stories your team can share at the wrap meeting.
Proof you can publish
We’ll share Impact Tracker snapshots alongside your post‑event reports so your experiential marketing work shows both brand impact and community impact.
Team pride and client trust
People want to do meaningful work. When your Brand Ambassadors know their efforts help fund education days or youth leadership programs, they bring more energy to the floor.
Where your event staffing makes a local difference
Mash Staffing is an Australian staffing agency with deep coverage in:

We also service the Sunshine Coast and can arrange travel for regional work. Whether you’re running a CBD roadshow, a venue takeover, a shopping‑centre demo or a national conference, our event staffing teams can be rostered where you need them—supported with purpose‑led training and leaders who care.
People behind the numbers (and behind your brand)
On any given week you’ll find Mash Brand Ambassadors guiding guests at a tech keynote in Melbourne, Conference Staff scanning badges in Brisbane, Retail Staff converting trials in Perth, and Promotional Staff surprising shoppers in Adelaide. These are warm, switched‑on people who know how to represent your brand and create memorable experiences. They’re also the heartbeat of the Pro Purpose story: their work helps power those wells, classes and safe beds.
When we say “Our passion is people and their potential to enhance event and brand experiences,” we mean your people, our people and the people whose lives are lifted through the Pro Purpose movement.

Make your next brief an event staffing brief with purpose
Here are easy ways to add purpose to your next activation:
Purpose‑ready rosters
Ask for a team that’s been trained to talk about the impact you’re creating together. Our Brand Ambassadors can point guests to a scannable impact card or a small countertop display.
Co‑branded signage
Add a discreet “This activation supports Pro Purpose” panel to your stand or registration desk. Include a short message that turns a standard interaction into a feel‑good moment.
Impact in the wrap
Alongside KPIs like samples distributed, conversion, dwell time and NPS, we can include your Pro Purpose impact note so your report captures both event staffing performance and social outcomes.
Year‑round activations
From summer festivals in Sydney to business events in Canberra, our event staffing network keeps purpose alive across your calendar.
