Zürich in numbers
Why Zürich
Banks, insurers and consultancies in Zürich book models for corporate campaigns and annual reports. They want natural faces in all age groups.
Zürich is a mid-sized city where companies produce catalogues, campaigns and events. Many jobs for models from Zürich are also in Winterthur, Basel and Freiburg im Breisgau.
Zürich is a location of THE GOOD STAFF. For models from the city that means jobs at fairs and events where both teams work together.

Applicants from Switzerland are welcome. From Zürich everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in Switzerland and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Zürich?
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.
04Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
05What does a model earn?
Day rates depend on the category and the usage: e-commerce days at the lower end, campaigns with buyouts at the upper end. Our commission is stated in the contract.
06What about my photos and data?
Your data stays with us and is deleted after the process if we do not work together. Nothing is shared without your agreement.
07Will 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.
08Do you also represent men?
Men are welcome; many jobs in Zürich and in the region are for mixed line-ups.
