Event Marketing Drivers

What Event Marketing Drivers does

Event Marketing Drivers (EMD) is a privately held B2B professional services company headquartered in Muskego, Wisconsin, that supplies licensed CDL drivers (Class A-C), Tour Managers, and support crew for mobile marketing tours, experiential roadshows, B2B tours, medical/healthcare deployments, and long-term transit assignments. Founded in 2018 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company delivers a turnkey staffing solution in which it manages the full regulatory and operational stack on behalf of clients — including driver logbooks, DOT numbers, insurance, fuel cards, maintenance, IFTA tracking, plating, drug screening, ELDs, and temporary permits — so that brand and agency clients can focus on event execution rather than commercial transportation compliance. Tour Managers additionally liaise with venue operations, agency teams, brand ambassadors, security, catering, and photographers across multi-city and international tour routes.

The company's core revenue stream is professional services revenue from project-based staffing and logistics contracts, priced on a quote basis with pricing driven by tour duration, number of drivers/staff required, geographic scope, event type, and regulatory complexity. Customer acquisition is event-driven and consultative — brands and marketing agencies reach EMD via the company website contact form, phone (414.246.2819), or email — with no self-serve or product-led motion. Named enterprise clients include Dell Technologies, Range Rover, and Nintendo, with additional service modules covering mobile medical clinic deployments and educational/community mobile tours.

EMD operates within a coordinated three-company ecosystem that also includes CGS Premier (custom fabrication of event vehicles, trailers, and experiential builds) and Event Vehicle Leasing (flexible-term leasing of 60+ mobile event assets). These affiliated entities are separate legal businesses but are cross-referenced on the EMD website, enabling a bundled offering across fabrication, leasing, and staffing. The company maintains an active blog, Instagram presence, and case-study-driven content marketing strategy, and supports local, regional, national, and international tours from its upper Midwest base. No public pricing, revenue figures, funding rounds, or proprietary technology platforms are disclosed.
