If you’re thinking about unlocking something new for 2021 then you have come to the right place. We’ll let you in on how our simple application process works after you’ve hit that submit button. Let’s find out what the modelling potion is for the recipe for success. 

Step 1: Fill out our online application form

Access our homepage and fill in your details on the right-hand side of the page. Use the drop-down menu to select which age group, gender and whether your model is a human or a pet! Type your first and second name, select your date of birth, gender, email address, mobile number and country of residence. Next up, you will need to upload a recent headshot and full-body profile (taken no longer than 6 months ago). Both need to be taken against a plain background with nothing else being captured in the shot (no one else being accidentally snapped!)

Lastly, confirm that you are 18 or over, that you agree to the terms and conditions, and privacy policy set by Models Direct. Then all you have to do is press the ‘submit application’ button and away it will go. 

Step 2: Our registration team will be in touch 

Our registration team will then call you on receipt of your application to discuss it and qualify you over the phone. This is an essential part of the process so that we get to know you better. We like finding out about what interests you about the modelling industry, your aspirations, inspirations and motivations. It’s as easy as that!

Step 3: We select you when a client calls for your look 

Your application will then go through an inhouse assessment whenever one of our dedicated clients call for your look. Our team will decide whether an offer will be made based on your look, experience and demographics by undergoing a comprehensive model search. Models Direct is extremely thorough and ensures that all of our models get a fair chance to step forward and live their dream as a model. If you tick the boxes then you’ll be selected to cover an assignment and start your new career.

Clare has been represented by Models Direct for 6 months, she has a condition called Dystonia, a movement disorder in which a person’s muscles contract uncontrollably, she therefore often uses a wheelchair and can use her crutches also. 

Models Direct represent a variety of models with different abilities, adults and children of all ages and are proud to have been able to promote them successfully to large and small clients and brands across the UK.

Last week the Models Direct team were delighted to be able to tell Clare she had successfully been selected to feature in the latest online campaign for Hive – the UK’s Leading Smart Home Provider – as you can image she was delighted too!

Here is what Clare had to say about her Assignment experience:

“Yesterday I had my first assignment with a company called Hive and I had a fantastic first shoot. They sent me a taxi to get to the location and I arrived in good time.

Everyone was so friendly and reassured me as I was slightly nervous with it being my first assignment.

I had to try on some different outfits to play wheelchair tennis. When they chose the outfit that they liked the best I then had to do action shots with a tennis racquet as if I was leaving my house.

Everyone from the wardrobe stylist, photographer and producer were amazing and put me at ease. They also arranged for a taxi to take me home.

They were all very helpful and accommodating towards my disability.

I can honestly say that I really enjoyed my first shoot and I look forward to more in the future!

Thank you so much Models Direct for all of your help in getting me my first assignment and keeping in touch regularly and giving me all of the information that I needed for the assignment! ”

At Models Direct we understand   our clients could take their business anywhere, there are lots of model/talent agents out there!! So  what makes them choose us??

An essential skill of an Assignment Co-ordinator is the ability to build strong relationships with clients! The entertainment industry is very competitive and with thousands of agents competing for business, Models Direct have to ensure they stand out above the rest and retain their clients to secure future bookings for  their models.

The Assignments team at Models Direct spend most of their time on the phone, even now when we live in a world of  online messaging and emailing, for a lot of industries the phone is becoming  an unused tool, this isn’t the case for a model agent!! Booking agents spend most of their  day talking, to new clients, regular clients, brief and casting updates, new leads, production  managers , it’s all about being remembered and making an impression.

Feedback is an essential part of this business, without it a company is unable to know exactly how they can improve and what their customer/client requirements are, so the team ensure they ask for feedback from all clients after booking  models with us. It doesn’t matter how big the client is whether it’s a large internationally known brand or a small local independent – all feedback is crucial to the Models Direct team.
