about

We may be a young agency, but we have been years in the making. Our founder Mariska Bank learned the ropes of the business while working for Models At Work, our renowned partnering agency with 20+ years of operational excellence under its belt. In just a couple of years, Mariska worked her way up from hostess to production leader and booker, gaining insights on the front lines and behind the scenes. At the age of just 24, she forged an entrepreneurial partnership with her former employer to create a young, no-nonsense event staffing agency: The CRW, making Gen Z work for you.

In the workforce, Gen Z plays hard to get. Yet we get them to work – and play – hard for you. The only thing they say ‘no’ to is nonsense. And they go from strength to strength at every job, showcasing just the right kind of energy. Most importantly, they understand that there’s no ‘I’ in ‘teamwork’, but they do have the mindset to fully see a ‘workmate’ in there. This commitment to the team is what makes our crew into The CRW.

a motley crew

From world travellers and students to professional athletes and actors looking for that extra gig, our team is a colourful mix of people who genuinely enjoy their work. Yet they have non-negotiable values in common: enthusiastic, unique, no-nonsense, dependable, collaborative and highly sociable. Through these values our CRW’ers make the cut; through their diversity The CRW stands out.

proactive pros

Our team excels at taking actions before they even hit your to-do list. We aren’t just here to work, we're here to understand the endgame of our clients, so we can map out the playing field together. Targets are our playground, and surpassing them? Well, that's practically our favourite game, and we’ve practised enough to become pros at it.

IJzersterke teams

We never change a winning team. For instance, we’ve been working with the same self-regulating team on Red Bull for 2+ years, because they are always steadily rocking the right vibe. We believe it’s crucial to cherish a team’s positive atmosphere, as it spreads to both clients and guests. It even outlasts our working relationship – our CRW’ers often become friends for life.

a tight ship

Thanks to our partner agency Models At Work bringing their decades of experience, the CRW runs a very tight ship. To maximise our operational excellence, we have adopted our best practices as standard operating procedures. And by means of weekly evaluations, we keep evolving as our journey continues towards new clients and ever-changing market demands.

three's a cRW

We can’t be the best at everything. And we believe that all the really good things come in threes. That’s why we’ve chosen to operate in three areas only: hosting, promoting and serving. This allows us to focus on the kind of jobs that we have already mastered, while still offering our clients a great range of services.

Walk the talk

Anyone who is in business for more than twenty years must have walked their talk. We’re no different. We love a good challenge, and when we promise we'll do something, consider it done. Working with us means you can relax knowing things will always turn out as promised, or even better. Because we say what we do, and we do what we say. Always.
