Notes to answerer
Asker: I don't think 'run a few facebook pages' is event staffing

Asker: the client expects a reference for verification of the use of 'prostaffer'

Asker: genau, das ist die Frage, die mit einer professionellen referenz zu beantworten ist

Reference information:

People were originally added to staffs in order to promote products, companies, or organizations. This is still the primary purpose of a prostaff. With that said, some staffs are easier to get on than others. [...]"
