Clients are connecting with Models Direct to hire our models.
Our modelling agency has been part of rewarding collaborations with prestigious clients over 30 years in the industry, and today’s blog focuses on our work with charity Alzheimer’s Research UK.
This charity was founded in 1992, and from the very beginning, it has developed and evolved into a fully-fledged scientific space where pioneering research is conducted into Alzheimer’s across the UK. Its mission? To cure this disease so that people, their friends and families, and communities do not need to suffer and feel the pain of losing someone even though they’re physically still present.
From publishing vital content for GPs and patients, being awarded charity of the year with Daily Telegraph and Iceland Foods, to long-term partner The Perfume Shop fundraising £1 million at the end of 2022 for the charity, Alzheimer’s Research UK is going from strength to strength with its pioneering research.
#sharetheorange is Alzheimer’s Research UK’s (ARUK) successful digital awareness campaign urging people to support research with actor Bryan Cranston featured in the video. It’s a visual and heart-rendering depiction of the disease but what we can do to continue the research?
So when ARUK clicked on our “Hire a Model” button, fill in all their company details and then their model requirements, we were thrilled to accept their request and hunt for the three models they were looking for.
It wasn’t long till we found our perfect trio for the job – Alan, Blessing and Samson – to present stills for their website and fundraising literature photoshoot. ARUK were pleased with our selection when we presented the models to the charity. And when our modelling coordinators contacted our talent directly, they all accepted the assignment on the spot!
We’ve got some brilliant stills to share with you, some demonstrating a fundraising coffee morning (with coffee and cake, of course!), a race to raise money and a presentation.
Alan describes his time:
“I had a fantastic first-day shoot. My call came first thing in the morning from Gemma. She explained everything clearly and concisely. She was very supportive. When I arrived, the team where very friendly and supportive. I felt at ease straight away. I was treated well and enjoyed my first-ever shoot.”
Blessing shone a spotlight on her experience. She explains:
“My recent and very first shoot went quite well for me. The client looked after us well by offering refreshments. All involved staff were polite and conversational. As this was my first shoot I was not sure what to expect in terms of make-up which I could have prepared well for concerning each photo shoot. I think for future shoots it is important for me and my circumstances to research further on the client and what they require from me as a model. Overall this was a great experience and I enjoyed it. I’m grateful to the agency staff for checking on me regularly through the whole process from pre-shoot until the shoot had been completed!”
Finally, Samson us a great headline –
“An Exhilarating Photoshoot Experience!
He continues to say that:
“Yesterday’s photoshoot with this incredible modelling agency was an absolute delight! The production team’s unwavering support and expert guidance made the shoot an exciting and smooth experience. They found the perfect role for me, reflecting my style and individuality. Highly recommend working with this fantastic team!”
Wow, the stills speak for themselves. It looked like the team had a rewarding and enjoyable time working in partnership with this ground-breaking charity that continues to make innovative discoveries through extraordinary research with experts.
