In the world of modeling there are a few choices models have when getting into the business. You have your traditional modeling agency and the model placement agency to choose from. Now before you rush out and make a quick decision let's go over some of the benefits of the two services.
First the Modeling placement agency, there main function is to get the new and aspiring model all of the tools she needs to submit herself to modeling jobs and casting calls. The main focus of the placement agency is on the promotional materials such as website, comp cards, business cards, SEO. Their goal is to give you a media presence and once this is done submit your information to prospective clients. You don't need to already be a model to work with a placement agency either. One of the biggest differences is they have work such as nail models, hair models etc. This differs from the Modeling agency because they focus more on the training.
So now that we have pointed out the benefits of the Modeling placement agency let's talk about the traditional modeling agency. The focus here will be on teaching you runway, posing and modeling walking. This is where you go to train and learn the modeling industry. If you have never modeled before and you're interested in being a runway model then most likely this is the best option for you. You will have professional trainers teach you the ins and outs of the industry. The typical modeling agency will also give you a practice runway with mirrors to perfect your walk and poses. This is a huge benefit if you have never posed before. But be aware with the modeling agency you wont get the media presence or promotional materials in house. This will be outsources as another fee.
As you can see both of these services are beneficial but both are very different. So depending on where you want to go with your career pick your service wisely. If you have some experience then a Traditional Modeling Agency might not be for you. But if you have never trained then you might want to use the Traditional Modeling Agency to learn the basics. If you know the basics and need a media presence and want to submit yourself for work then the Modeling Placement agency is something you should look at and the cost of the promotional materials is normally lower then the Modeling Agency.
