real people, real experiences

"The team’s experience in casting and activations has made my job a thousand times easier"
“I can't say enough good things about Destro. Their communication, level of care, and delivery of work have exceeded my expectations time and time again. The friendly and warm nature of the team is matched by the amazing work and results they deliver. The team’s experience in casting and activations has made my job a thousand times easier. As someone who was trying to DIY casting for projects prior to Destro, I can’t even imagine going back. They not only speed up my workflow but also put me at ease knowing the job will be done to the highest standard. Feedback is taken gracefully, and work is adapted with so much agility. We've worked closely with Tori and the team for three months now, and I can't wait to see where this partnership will take us.”
Laura Oliveira — The Attention Seeker
"Their communication has been excellent, and they've consistently sourced the best talent for our roles"
“We at Sanford and Sons (part of Sanford Ltd) have had the pleasure of working with Destro for the past two years, and it's been an outstanding experience. Their communication has been excellent, and they've consistently sourced the best talent for our roles which isn’t always easy with the product being so niche! The team has gone above and beyond, even helping us establish brand partnerships that drove incredible engagement for both brands. We're thrilled to be partnered with Destro and highly recommend them to anyone in search of top-tier brand ambassadors.”
Sophie unterhofer — sanford and sons
"When any issues arise, they’re always straight on top of it and it’s hugely reassuring to know our clients are always in safe hands."
“Destro are our first choice for activation staffing, we’ve always experienced a diligent service from Portia, Tori & the rest of the Destro team. The team are incredibly quick to respond and adaptable with any changes a campaign might have. When any issues arise, they’re always straight on top of it and it’s hugely reassuring to know our clients are always in safe hands.”
Joseph Simpson — Drum Agency
“She (Portia) is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to activations.”
“We have worked with Portia on several campaigns now and have found her to be thorough with the planning and meticulous with her attention to detail. She is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to activations; her experience with building and delivering them means she always adds heaps of value when it comes to the details. She also has lots of experience dealing with the council, which is invaluable to our business. I am now confident that I can hand over briefs, and they will be executed 100% without my involvement. What an asset to our team!”
Jen — Shout Media
"I highly recommend Destro to anyone looking for a hands-on, responsive, and engaged agency to execute sampling campaigns that deliver great results."
"Portia's experience and expertise have been invaluable while executing multiple nationwide in-store sampling campaigns over the past year. She took the time to understand our objectives, listen to our concerns, and tailor the process to meet our needs. With Destro's network of ambassadors, Portia ensured we worked with a team that embodied our values and ensured every aspect of our campaigns ran smoothly, even amidst changing COVID alert levels. Her communication and professionalism made us feel confident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Destro to anyone looking for a hands-on, responsive, and engaged agency to execute sampling campaigns that deliver great results."
Jess — ANTE
