Mainz in numbers
Why Mainz
Publishers and broadcasters in Mainz book models for editorials and programmes, often at short notice. If you live in Mainz and are flexible, you will be asked often.
Mainz is right next to Frankfurt: castings in our rooms, jobs across the Rhine-Main region, hardly any travel.
Models from smaller cities like Mainz are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt and Frankfurt among them.
Travel and support
Castings and polaroid sessions for applicants from Mainz usually take place in Frankfurt, reachable by train or car in under two hours. Jobs in the Rhine-Main region come up regularly, often without overnight stays.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Mainz?
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.
04Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
05Are there jobs in Mainz?
Mainz and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich as well.
06Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
07Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
08From what age can I apply?
From 18 without further ado, from 16 with parental consent. There is no upper limit: classic models over 40 are in demand.
