Event Staffing Detroit — America's Automotive Capital Reborn

Detroit hosts world-class events from the North American International Auto Show to the Detroit Grand Prix, drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees annually. The city's revitalized Downtown, thriving Midtown arts district, and trendy Corktown neighborhood create dynamic venues for every type of brand activation.
Air Fresh Marketing's Detroit talent pool understands the automotive industry inside and out. Many of our brand ambassadors and product specialists have experience working with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and dealership groups.
