People are sometimes surprised that an agency in Milan represents only six models. It is not because we cannot find more. It is because we want to know each of them well.
One agent, one model
Every model has one agent who knows their work, their schedule and the name of their dog. When a client calls, the person who answers knows the answer without opening a file.
Fewer options, better ones
When a client asks for options, we send two or three faces, not twenty. That only works if every face on the board is right for the work we take, and if we turn down the work that is not.
Room to say no
A short board means no model has to take a job to keep the agency running. We can turn down a campaign that is badly paid or badly planned, and we do, a few times a year.
How we grow
Slowly, and usually through the new faces board. We add someone when one of us has the time to look after them properly, and not before.
