MainEvent & Trusted Herd to Streamline Event Gig Bookings
Integrated campaign management and job listings will make it easier than ever to fill openings with experienced, qualified staff.
Trusted Herd is an event jobs platform used by brands, agencies, and vendors to find the ideal candidates to staff their events - and for workers to leverage their reputation to get more opportunities. With upcoming Trusted Herd integrations in MainEvent, field managers will soon be able to effortlessly find high-quality workers they can trust in any market across the country.
“I know that when we recommend MainEvent to a brand or agency, they’ll be taken care of.”
Brian Fox, Founder/CEO
“We’re proud to be collaborating with Trusted Herd to create integrations between our platforms for the benefit of employers and workers alike.”
Andy Plax, MainEvent Product Lead
We sat down recently with Trusted Herd CEO & Founder Brian Fox to discuss our new alliance, how he leverages his expertise in the field marketing space to serve his customers, and the importance of reputation when it comes to staffing events.
The Definitive Event Jobs Marketplace
“After spending over a decade in the agency world, I started Trusted Herd seven and a half years ago to address the need for really high-quality workers to use the strength of their reputation - instead of collection of logos in a job resume - to get more opportunities,” Brian explains.
“I remember one of our brand ambassadors running laps around more experienced people, and she contacted me a couple weeks later and said she was having a hard time finding her next gig,” Brian says. “And I was like ‘How? You should be booked every day, you’re that good.’” Hiring experiences like those (both good and bad) inspired Brian to create a jobs platform where trust is at the forefront.
That focus on reputation has made Trusted Herd the premier event gig job marketplace. Trusted Herd now boasts:
- 3,000 companies and 70,000 workers registered,
- Over 7,000 monthly event job listings, and
- An average of 33 qualified applicants for every event gig posted.
“Our marketplace is only for event jobs,” Brian says, “So every worker that signs up, they have a big interest in events - that means candidates right off the bat are of a much higher quality than general job sites.” When combined with reputation scoring, that’s a win for all parties involved.
MainEvent x Trusted Herd
“In my agency days, I worked with MainEvent extensively,” Brian recalls, “And that was my first experience in managing software, and seeing how software should be managed.” He took those lessons into his own venture, and the level of trust he has in the Network Ninja team after 18 years working alongside them made MainEvent a natural fit for Trusted Herd.
“The best practice is to focus on what you’re really good at, and lean on companies who are really good at doing the other things,” Brian explains. “That’s where I’m really confident, as we grow and build together, we’ll be taken care of, and our customers will be taken care of, because we’re both software-first companies.”
“Focus on what you’re really good at, and lean on companies who are really good at doing the other things.”

MainEvent Product Lead Andy Plax concurs. “If there’s a need for a MainEvent client to submit jobs where they need resources, they’ll soon be able to click a button to post that job to the Trusted Herd universe. It’s part of our goal to make our clients better at what they do because they work with us,” he concludes.
Brian and Andy agree that integrated job listings are just the start, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
