They are vital to businesses for visitors to gain knowledge of how their company works. They can improve customer satisfaction. They can generate leads and increase revenue, and they provide the go-to platform for customers to learn more about the brand. Websites are so much more than displaying products, members of staff and contact details. Whether you’re an advocate for technology or a die-hard technophobe, it’s plain to see that the vast majority of companies wouldn’t be where they are today without websites.  

Our website has been an effective tool for years. Many people have praised it for its simplicity, and for the ease in which they can navigate from one page to another.

But we’re also a progressive agency, so we appreciate that we have to move with the times. Letting our operations go stagnant is not in our remit. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is common motto, but sometimes a little update doesn’t go amiss. By modernising our website, we’re showing both our models and clients that we’re not resting on our laurels. Innovation often breeds excellence, and it’s our aim to achieve even better things in the future.

Therefore, our website has had a brand new revamp ready for 2024. It’s the natural development, and we’re proud to tell all our website users about it.  

We know that a lot of our models are tech-savvy. That’s great, but equally some models shy away from websites, preferring instead to use Smartphones for email, or simply picking up the phone, which suits us just fine, too. Either way, we thought our website was in need of a makeover.

Fear not, though. Our new improved website still has everything you’d expect from Europe’s no.1 commercial modelling agency.  

Our homepage displays the all-important quick application form so that models can register with us in minutes. No gimmicks, no long-winded irrelevant questions: just basic information we need from you to kick-start your modelling career. As we have a steady stream of local, national and worldwide modelling assignments available to the right talent, it’s useful for us to be able to decipher applications in a timely and effective way. We don’t want to confuse or irritate applicants by asking for unnecessary information – we’ll leave that to other agencies, thank you!

Users can access current Models Direct news from the homepage, as well as our ever-popular jobs board. When a job catches a model’s attention, it’s important for them to refresh their portfolios with new photos and contact details – although all models should know by now that updating portfolios should be second nature.

We still have helpful info for all modelling types in which we specialise: men, women, children & teenagers, babies and pets.

Our new website represents everything we believe in: innovation, progress, sincerity and frankness.

So, welcome to our brand new website. We’ve been expecting you…

Like most of us you probably keep in touch with friends through social media, do your shopping online, stream your favourite boxsets and book your tickets via the web.

You probably know your way round all the main sites and platforms you use like the back of your hand – well why not add us to your favourites list?

We have a sizeable website for Models Direct and on it you can find all you need to know about us, the way we work and how the process for selecting models works.

We tell you more about our clients and our existing models – and we even have a reviews section where they give their own and honest feedback on their assignments.

We also have pages and pages of advice, suggestions and top tips for you – whether you are someone who is considering modelling or someone who has been modelling for years.

There are pages that will guide you on making yourself stand out, presenting yourself to us in your photographs and taking just the right shots to make us and our clients think you might be right for the job.

The most important part of our website for our existing models is the secure e-portfolio section.

When you join us, you will be able to set up an account and manage this yourself – and this is nothing less than essential.

This is the window to you, the way you look and your capabilities.

This is what we look at when we are asked to select certain, specific types of model for our clients – and it is what our clients look at if we put you forward.

Your job is to ensure you check in regularly and update it frequently, as we need to know your pictures are fresh and recent and all your information is up to date.

You will be able to update and add photos, videos, all your measurements and any other important information that we need to know about.

Navigating this part of the website couldn’t be easier and, if for any reason you struggle with it, we are here to help you.

Also on our website is our jobs board – this is where you can also scroll down to see if we are posting any assignments that you would like to put yourself forward for.

Our website has a whole array of ever-changing blogs on it and connects to our other blog sites too.

These include www.modelsdirect.co.uk, www.modelsdirectblog.com and www.modelsdirect.org.uk.

All these blog pages are also packed with tips and advice for you, as well as stories about recent modelling assignments and insight from our models.

Our blog pages are updated on a daily basis so don’t forget to keep checking in!

You should be able to find everything you need on our website, including, of course, all you need to know about joining us.

Running out of ideas on what to watch whilst in quarantine? Seen Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney + back to back but want something different?

Well, since Models Direct is a long-standing modelling agency always on the lookout for new models (even during these unprecedented times). We’ve always got our eyes peeled for the newest trends and the latest happening in the modelling industry.

So, we’ve found something for all you budding models out there to watch! You need to head over to BBC Three where an insightful four-part series has just aired its first episode (this Sunday just gone) on our screens – Models: Street To Catwalk. Take it from us, you’ll want to get comfy, cosy and dig into something delish whilst watching this.

What it’s all about

Models: Street To Catwalk takes us on the path of three young gorgeous models who were scouted by a UK modelling agency. The programme will give any prospective models out there a behind-the-scenes pass to what goes on within the industry. You’ll discover the peaks and troughs, achievements and challenges that these young models are journeying through to not just make it into the modelling world but to make it BIG!

For any of you out there reading this and have felt unsure about venturing into this field, this programme opens the doors and reveals how it is for models breaking into the arena. Modelling agencies are matching the demands of consumers. Consumers want to see a real representation of models who bring a unique, flair of diversity. Consumers want to see models who they feel will represent them and who they can relate to. If this is executed accurately, then the industry flourishes.

Models: Street To Catwalk reveals Nemesis’ goal of searching for the edgy, diverse ‘Manchester look’ which is their trending sought after look. The three youngsters are from unconventional backgrounds and are now trying their hand at reigning the camera with awesome poses and bold expressions!

Our thoughts 

We certainly hope you take on our suggestion and watch the series. As a modelling agency ourselves, we too encourage new models and existing ones to come on board and keep up the momentum of excepting assigned new jobs.

We’ll put it out there just as the programme does – modelling isn’t always as easy as it’s hyped up to be. Sometimes waiting to hear back from an agency can be agony but there’s always reward in patience and positivity.
