If you’re looking to book models with an agency, you’ve landed on the right page. Our UK-based modelling agency, Models Direct, is here to help our clients find the right models to represent their marketing campaigns. We’ve been doing this for 35 years, so our booking process has been refined and matured in a way that takes the stress away from finding the right people to model.
If you’re looking to hire a model, our diverse talent, ranging from newborn models through to senior models, and pet models too, are here to help!
Here’s our complete step-by-step guide to booking our models:
1. Contact us
Reach out to us. Email us or call our office. We’d love to hear from you and understand what you need for your marketing campaign.
2. Send us your brief
Here, you can include all the things you envisage for your campaign. We’d like to specifically know what type of model(s) you need. Their age, gender, ethnicity, and other characteristics can be included in your brief to help us help you.
Other details, including when and where your campaign will be, what the intention of the project is, the salary, and where the material will be published will also be part of the brief.
3. Our coordinators will handpick models closer to your brief
Our team will try its best to match our models to your requirements. We will select as many as we believe will fit your brief. You can have the options if viewing their ePortfolio to make a more informed decision, or if you wish, we can organise a casting so that you can see our selected models in person.
4. Select your model
We give you the choice of who you’d like to select as your model. If you don’t find someone you’d like to hire, then we would repeat step 3 again.
5. We negotiate payment
It’s important that we discuss how much our model will earn and other perks such as food and travel reimbursement, before we finalise everything.
6. We contact our model
Once our model has been selected, one of our dedicated modelling coordinators will call them to share the great news. If they’re happy with the logistics of the contract and how much they’ll be earning, then they’ll be officially hired!
If they cannot fulfil the booking request for any reason, then we would ideally like to hear back from our model as soon as possible so that another model can fill it in.
7. Your model/s attends the gig
If they’ve agreed, the next step will be that they’re attending your modelling campaign. They’ll be professional and open to working with you, curating the best work for you and with you.
Our team will contact them prior, during, and after the assignment to see how it went, so if you see your model on the phone shortly after the gig has been completed, chances are it’ll be us!
8. Your valuable feedback
Models Direct will request your review of how your project went with our model(s) on board. Your feedback will be valued, as we always like to know where we’ve gone right as well as wrong, so that we can improve our services for all.
9. Sharing your assignment with our followers and readers
With your permission, our team requests that we share your modelling assignment with our audience so that they can learn more about what our models have been getting up to, and with which clients. Clients can decline to share details if they wish to; however, we usually tend to see that clients are happy to go ahead and share details.
And there you have it. Our complete step-by-step guide to booking models as a client who is looking at Models Direct to help! We hope that this gives you a clearer picture of how we find models for you. If you have any questions, please contact us here.
