Birmingham in numbers
Why Birmingham
Birmingham is big enough for its own production scene. If you live here, studios and sets are usually a train ride away, and many jobs are day productions.
Birmingham is a trade-fair city (Spring Fair and Crufts). During fair weeks models are booked for presentations and shows; hostess jobs run through THE GOOD STAFF, our sister brand.
In a city the size of Birmingham there are studios, agencies and productions all year. For models from the region that means regular castings, jobs without long journeys and the chance to work in e-commerce, commercial and fashion at the same time.
Travel and support
Applicants from United Kingdom are welcome. From Birmingham everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in United Kingdom and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Birmingham?
No. Most of our models started without experience. What matters is natural photos, honest measurements and time for castings and jobs.
02Does the application cost anything?
Nothing. We never charge for comp cards, photos or courses; if someone does, it is not us.
03How tall do I need to be?
Guide values: women 172 to 181 cm, men 184 to 192 cm for fashion. For commercial and e-commerce we book outside these ranges as well.
04Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
05What does a model earn?
Fees are agreed per job and paid after the production. We negotiate the rate, you see the figures before you accept.
06What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
07Do you also represent men?
Yes. The board has a men's division with the same categories: fashion, commercial, classic.
08Will I hear back?
With a clear yes or no, once we have looked at your photos. If yes, we propose a date for the video call.
