Supplying the right models for our clients remains one of the most important aspects of our day-to-day work. We know that the best advertising campaigns help brands to grow, both in profit and reputation. Real-life commercial models provide our clients with the backbone of a modelling shoot, delivering them the talent they need to promote products and get the right message across to their customers.
Clients appreciate our no-nonsense approach. Even with short notice, they rely on Models Direct to put forward models from which they make their decision, no matter where they are shooting in the UK. It’s a huge bonus knowing that we’re a nationwide agency not restricted by local catchment areas. We have the right models to accommodate their requests, whether they need young models, more mature models, animal models or models who captivate audiences with disabilities. Thousands of brands value our flexibility and professionalism and have done so since we were issued with one of the first modelling agency licences ever issued by the Department of Employment in 1990.
When any client joins us – be it a global enterprise or smaller start-up – they can be confident we’ll deliver the best possible models for their needs at the best possible rates.
Once a client joins us and they need a models (or even a large booking of multiple models), they can contact us specifying their assignment. We’ll need to know if their campaign is for print or online or television / film. We’ll also need to know if the client is employing a photographer.
Additionally, their first enquiry should state whether the locations, dates and the number of models required. Regarding the models needed, clients can specify an age or gender or be as general as they like; it’s our client’s campaign, so we always ask them to state what they’re looking for.
We’ll then assign a booking agent who’ll be a client’s first point of contact through the process of recommending models, including sending clients links of suitable model’s ePortfolios.
Clients then make their selection, let us know, and we’ll agree fees and make the modelling booking for them.
Our booking agents will speak to the chosen model(s) and make sure they know what to expect: what type of modelling job it is, location, times, any special requirements etc. Organization is key; we want our clients and models to be relaxed pre-assignment to reduce any stress. The day itself tends to run smoothly once the pre-organisation is in place. Ambitious commercial models working with a professional photographer’s direction is usually a recipe for success.
Our booking agents will contact clients and models after the assignment for the all-important feedback. It’s our responsibility to ensure all parties come together to produce the best possible final product, be it stunning images or eye-catching short films.
Having delivered the perfect commercial models to clients since the early 1990s, we’ve only got better at understanding what are thousands of top brands want from us.
If you’re a company of any size on the lookout for commercial modelling talent and haven’t considered us, please get in touch in the first instance. After that, we’ll welcome you into the Models Direct family and look forward to helping you in your model bookings.
