Field marketing and merchandising execution with 3,000+ mobile workforce
BIG operates a large-scale field marketing and merchandising business across Australia, deploying over 3,000 mobile workers into retail and point-of-sale environments. The tech stack is deliberately thin—Salesforce, Tableau, Circana, and Microsoft Office—reflecting a labor-intensive, execution-focused model rather than a platform-first architecture. Current projects reveal operational friction: unifying fragmented marketing and sales data, installing compliance auditing at store level, and optimizing mobile workforce routing. Hiring is heavily junior-skewed (69 of 80 roles) and concentrated in sales and marketing, signaling rapid field-team expansion rather than technical infrastructure build.
Brand Influence Group provides experiential and field marketing services, primarily merchandising and brand representation work executed by a mobile workforce of over 3,000 people across Australia. The company operates as a B2B service provider to CPG and retail brands, managing in-store execution, visual merchandising, sales support, and talent management. Operations span multiple retail sites and customer portfolios, with day-to-day focus on compliance, stock management, and sales performance at the store level. The business model is built on high-velocity field deployment and direct execution rather than software licensing or platform revenue.
BIG uses Salesforce for CRM, Tableau for dashboards, Circana for retail analytics, Microsoft Office suite, and social platforms (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn) for marketing. No data warehouse or ETL tools are currently in use.
Key projects include integrating marketing and sales data into Salesforce, building marketing dashboards, installing point-of-sale compliance auditing, optimizing mobile workforce deployment, and reducing out-of-stocks and improving customer segmentation.
