Pay the moment the recap is submitted — keep the talent you recruited
The single biggest cause of BA churn is payment latency. Contractors working multiple agencies at once will prioritize whoever pays fastest.
When your competitor advertises same-day pay and you are still processing Net 30, you lose your best talent before the next shift. Wingspan issues payments the same day your team confirms the activation is complete.
BAs get a notification on their phone before they leave the venue. No check runs, no manual ACH batches.
Onboard a hundred ambassadors before Friday's activation
When you land a national tour or a major festival contract, the bottleneck is never the creative brief. It is getting 200 people properly papered before the first activation.
Wingspan sends each BA a mobile-first onboarding flow the moment you confirm a booking. They complete their W-9, sign the contractor agreement, and acknowledge the brand brief — all from their phone.
Wingspan's Wayfinder AI verifies identity documents automatically and flags issues before they become day-of problems.
Keep your 1099 classification defensible without a compliance team
Operating a 1099 workforce in experiential marketing carries real classification risk. Wingspan builds a documented, auditable record of every contractor relationship: independent contractor agreements, automated W-9 collection, and year-end 1099-NEC filing for every contractor who crosses the $600 threshold.
When a contractor calls about a missing 1099, Wingspan resolves it. When your accountant needs a complete payment history, it exports in minutes — eliminating the January reconciliation burden that drives large agencies toward W-2 models.
Reimburse travel, supplies, and event materials without chasing receipts
Brand ambassador activations come with expenses that go beyond the shift rate: mileage to the venue, branded supplies, event setup materials, parking fees. Most agencies handle these through a tangle of Venmo requests, expense spreadsheets, and delayed reimbursement cycles.
Wingspan lets you attach expense categories to each activation. Ambassadors submit receipts through the same mobile app they use for payments, and reimbursements go out with the next payment run — no separate AP process, no lost receipts.
With Wingspan, if a contractor has an issue, it's dealt with responsively. With our previous tool, it's essentially a black box and honestly makes us look bad.
