Come Experience the ESL Difference

Since day one, co-founder Michelle Ilic has lived by a simple yet powerful motto: “If we take care of our people, they will take care of our clients.” This philosophy extends from our office to our agency clients’ offices, to their brand clients, and ultimately to the event managers in the field who collaborate seamlessly with event planners and brand managers to ensure every activation’s success.

We’re small enough to provide true one-on-one customer service but big enough to provide:

  • National reach to provide any staff anywhere

  • A database filled with different ages, genders and ethnicities

  • Enough insurance coverage to protect even the biggest Fortune 50 brand.

  • Round-the-clock service, hotlines and contacts.

  • A true understanding of event and experiential marketing.

Prior to co-founding Event Staffing Live, Michelle served as the Director of Operations at 8 Days a Week, for 12 years. With over 20 years of experience, our team excels in supporting you with your event planning and logistics needs. With our unparalleled work ethic and drive we are always focused on successfully producing exceptional results while being tasked with numerous concurrent projects at any given time.

When you use ESL, it will always get done.
