FAQ
WHAT IS A MOTHER AGENT?
A MOTHER AGENCY IS VITAL TO SUCCESS IN THE MODELING INDUSTRY. LIKE A MOTHER, OUR JOB IS TO PROTECT YOU AND GUIDE YOU DOWN THE RIGHT PATH FOR A LONG-TERM CAREER. WE WORK FOR YOU. WITH WORLDWIDE PLACEMENT WITH BOOKING AGENCIES, WE AIM TO PROJECT YOUR PERSONAL BRAND TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
HOW IS A MOTHER AGENT PAID?
WE ONLY MAKE MONEY WHEN YOU MAKE MONEY. WE NEVER CHARGE A MODEL DIRECTLY, AND ARE ALWAYS PAID THROUGH YOUR BOOKING AGENCIES. IN MOST MARKETS, AGENCIES TAKE 20% COMMISSION FROM THE MODELS EARNINGS AS A SERVICE FEE. THE AGENCY THEN PAYS THE MOTHER AGENT HALF OF THAT, OR 10%. ANY MOTHER AGENCY OR SCOUT THAT CHARGES UPFRONT FEES IS A SCAM.
DOES A MOTHER AGENCY GUARANTEE WORLDWIDE PLACEMENT?
UNFORTUNATELY, A MOTHER AGENT CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL FIND AN AGENCY AS SOMETIMES THE BELIEF A SCOUT HAS IN A GIRL IS NOT ALWAYS SEEN BY OTHERS. BUT YOU CAN BE GUARANTEED THAT IF A MOTHER AGENT BELIEVES IN YOU AND SIGNS YOU, THEY WILL WORK HARD TO GET YOU PLACED WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN YOU THE SAME WAY!
