Model agency
Model agency Essen
ROW ONE books models for productions in Essen: fashion, commercial, e-commerce, shows and showroom. Send your brief, date and looks and you receive a selection with measurements, polaroids and availability for your date. Support from Frankfurt and on set, day rates and usage rights agreed upfront, one booker from the first call to the invoice.
Why Essen
Clients in Essen work with ROW ONE because it is quick and predictable: fixed day rates, usage rights spelled out in advance, a replacement if a model falls ill. The board covers fashion, commercial and classic, women and men.
For productions in Essen, ROW ONE puts together models from its own board: fashion, commercial, e-commerce and show. The agency works out of Frankfurt and looks after clients in Germany personally, from the first shortlist to the final invoice. With around 590,000 inhabitants, Essen is one of the cities where we cast and book regularly.
