Models Direct wouldn’t exist without three core components:

  • Our loyal clients.
  • Our talented models.
  • Our dedicated staff.

We can’t put them in order of importance because they are all essential. Without our clients we wouldn’t be able to provide the best commercial talent in the UK; without our models we wouldn’t have the talent to put forward to our clients; and without our staff we wouldn’t be able to process and arrange the hundreds of weekly assignments. Each play their part in the Models Direct formula.

We’d like to focus on our clients in this blog and specifically highlight the benefits of booking models with Models Direct.

We work with the largest number of clients of any modelling employment agency in the UK. Big is not necessarily better, but in this case, it speaks volumes about us and our models.

Clients approach us to fulfil real-life modelling opportunities for their advertising needs. We know why they make us their first destination for everyday commercial models (years of experience has proved this), but in case new clients are thinking about where to find the best talent, here are the main reasons why they prefer to collaborate with us:

  1. Our reputation. We’re not a new agency, having grown over nearly 36 years. Clients feel more comfortable booking models with an experienced agency with a client’s best interests in mind. We continue to grow and never take any bookings for granted. It’s our business, and it’s what we excel at. In fact, we’ve grown in recent years to such an extent that we felt we needed to expand our business by having an office in London. It will benefit everyone involved in the Models Direct business.

2.   Our pool of talented models. The sheer number of commercial models registered with us is an obvious advantage to brands of all sizes searching for excellent real-life models. We constantly advise our models to update portfolio content; it’s in a model’s best interests to show our clients what they look like currently, and what skills they may have gained since their last update. We understand from a client’s perspective that up-to-date photos are crucial in their decision to pick the right models.

3.   Quick response. We appreciate that some clients may require models at short notice. That’s understandable. Some schedules don’t go according to plan, but we try to fulfil any client’s requests no matter what the turnover may be.

4.   Geographical diversity. It’s fair to say that there are more modelling opportunities in the larger cities and towns around the UK. However, as we have models located in every corner of the country, we can satisfy any modelling brief anywhere in the country: we’re not restricted to any one area

5.   Our booking agents. We have a dedicated and loyal group of booking agents, each interpreting a client’s brief to recommend them the most suitable models. They’ve been with us for many years, and clients can trust them to supply the right talent.

We thank the thousands of long-term clients we’ve worked with over the years. If you’re a company of any size looking for the right commercial model for your advertising / marketing campaigns, please get in touch and we’ll look forward to starting a new working relationship with you.
