The Hungry Horse pubs are perennially very popular across the UK. Readers will undoubtedly have enjoyed their outlets – or at least know someone who has. The chain is a brand of Greene King and, like all the brands we work with, they appreciate the value of real-life models to help booster their marketing impact. After all, without customers, they wouldn’t have a brand.
So, when Greene King approached us looking for the perfect mother and child couple, we gave the hospitality giants a selection of modelling duos. They settled on Becky and Frankie, and then it was our duty to organise the modelling assignment. And, in the words of a beloved TV entertainer, “Didn’t they do well!”
It may seem daunting for a youngster to be involved with modelling. And it can be. However, because our team are always available to be contacted before, during and after modelling jobs, it makes the process that little bit easier and less unnerving. Most of our models tell us that once they arrive on set and talk to the professionals working with them – as well as other models – nerves turn to anticipation, and they usually settle down for a successful days’ work.
We evaluate all our clients before working with them, so parents can expect every brand to have been vetted. We also insist that every model under the age of 18 to be accompanied by an adult – safety being the main reason, and it’s more fun, of course.
Becky and Frankie were asked to be filmed for various Hungry Horse TikTok videos. The short – but highly effective – film reels are ideal for TikTok users (and potential customers) to view marketing material and promotions in just a few seconds; TikTok videos usually last several seconds, which appeals to millions. As much as full-length “traditional” adverts remain efficient, in these busy times sometimes people prefer shorter clips.
Becky and Frankie really enjoyed their work with Hungry Horse. The brand pride themselves on family-friendly good value hospitality, so a mother and son combo proved the ideal marketing combination.
A grateful Becky said, “Thank you to Models Direct, who put us forward for the assignment, and to the client who put us at ease straight away. They were patient with my little one and made his first experience enjoyable.
“A big shout out to Charlie at Models Direct who provided support all the way through the process. Thank you!”
Parent-and-child modelling is highly desirable. Whether as a parent-and-child, or the whole family, a lot of companies need families to fulfil their advertising requirements. All of them come directly to us in the first instance, which is reason enough to register your interest in commercial modelling. That’s exactly what Becky did, and now she and Frankie have been seen by thousands!
