We make it easy for you to firstly become a model with a reputable UK-based modelling agency (that’s us – Models Direct!), and then to get discovered by best-in-class clients!
Magical combination, right?
If you’re interested, keep reading, curious minds, because this blog’s for you!
So, the question is in the title, and the answers lie ahead:
Sign up with Models Direct
Models Direct is all about representing real, everyday people who want to embark on the modelling journey. We don’t ask for a particular age, dress size or look. We embrace everyone, no matter who they are and regardless of previous modelling experience.
Whether you’re male, female, young, mature or an animal companion, we are here for you.
If you decide to sign up with our agency, our promise is that we’ll put your profile forward whenever a client calls for your look. We won’t just leave your images at the end of our homepage like a showcase agency would and stop there. We take strategic steps to ensure that you get seen and noticed by our clients.
Models Direct has been doing this for 35 years now, so we’ve dynamically evolved our processes to better suit our mission, which is to extract the best results where our models and clients are happy and creating amazing campaigns!
Be yourself
When you apply, we encourage you to be your authentic self. We want you to showcase your uniqueness and skills so that potential clients can see what you can bring to the table. Whether you have birthmarks, freckles, piercings, tattoos, heterochromia, wear glasses or braces, or you can speak a different language, juggle, sing, dance, play an instrument or are a chess master (the list is exhaustive), we’d love to know so that we can share this with our clients. You may have a skill they’re after, so don’t hold back and let us know. Most of all, be yourself.
Get social
We encourage our models to stay active online to expand their reach and potentially accumulate a following; however, we encourage them to have an awareness that potential clients may check their accounts to see what they’ve posted online from time to time. If our models decide to take this route, they’ll need to ensure no Friday night boozy pics are put up or accidental messages. It happens, which is why we say to check your account regularly to avoid this.
Models Direct is on all major social media platforms, so we encourage our models (existing and prospective) to stay social with us and check in with what’s happening at our agency. We have top clients approach us throughout the year, so we anticipate many modelling assignments with leading brands.
Check out our job board
We put our models forward whenever a client requests their look, but we also have a job board, which is regularly updated for our registered models. It’s easy to navigate through, and our talent can apply directly.
Our diverse models can apply for as many suitable opportunities. This option is one direct way our real everyday models get discovered by top clients!
Roundup
We take away with a positive outlook on the modelling industry. Models Direct embraces diversity and inclusivity and is proud to have always championed this since we first opened our doors to the public.
If you’re ready for the next step, we say:
Stay real, stay authentic, apply to Models Direct
