Scouting and casting for Cologne advertising campaigns and shootings

From A to Z, all services from a single source: mediation, booking, planning, this is the decisive advantage of our agency. Find your model with us! Always from one hand under one roof. Our network of contacts, smart project management and international media make us the perfect partner for your advertising campaign. Usually, models who have their individual talents are already booked in normal advertising campaigns. This includes various skills, such as acting, music, sports but also dance!

This is Cologne – In hardly any other city in Germany do viewers encounter so many different fashion styles as in Cologne. They like to be extravagant and in the hottest clubs you wear everything that is fashionable. Cologne also has a strong hip-hop scene that brings variety to the city’s fashion landscape and that can’t be bent. Urban fashion and hip hop come with ideas that come directly from the heart of the people. However, in the city of television and publishing houses, one is quite conservative at vernissages and openings with the “little black” and high heels up to one’s neck. Cologneers, no matter how they are dressed, always seem a little cooler than the rest of the republic.

Advertising, online shop and social media

Advertising is a multifaceted field full of different challenges. Beside the already mentioned photo shootings for Instagram but also online shops there are much bigger challenges. Just think of an outdoor shooting where you have to run, laugh and interact with 4 other models at the same time. All 5 models must always be on point when the camera is released, so that your photographer is guaranteed to have strong photos to choose from. Commercials are even more challenging, think of speaking roles, acting and, of course, travel planning, because it often goes abroad and between Cologne, airport, hotel and production everything has to be right so that you as a model are on set on time.

Jobs & Booking for advertising and fashion

As a model, the tasks are extremely varied. In advertising it starts with shootings for Instagram, for example product photos as hand models, when you get better online shop photos and with a lot of practice also the first commercials. Then there’s the huge field of fashion: from lookbooks for star designers to fashion shows.

Mode and fashion show

Many young models first think of the fashion show! Did you know? Before you start at a fashion show, your first bookings are usually in the showroom. Designers present their fashion in the showroom. Customers take a look at the parts you present as a model. Here you get to know designers, customers but also punctuality and discipline. If you convince your customers and therefore also your agency, you will also get jobs for shows. If you also have the perfect measurements, you can also work internationally and travel from Cologne to major cities such as Paris, London and Milan. Here you can run for the greatest designers in the world. A real dream for every new model from Cologne!

Influencer Marketing and Concept

Since we work a lot with fashion and advertising agencies and young models, Instagram, Youtube but also Tik Tok is always very close. That’s why many customers in Berlin come back to us for our influencer marketing and concept. Social media marketing goes much deeper, from concept and strategy to building reach, content creation and, of course, monitoring. But at the beginning there is always the analysis.

We check and analyse the proven media key figures and opportunities for your advertising campaign in Cologne or nationwide, also for later reports (monitoring = quality evaluation of the individual campaigns). When it comes to advertising campaigns and concepts for multimedia marketing, we as a media agency take a very close look at possible opportunities and potentials within the target group.

Every day users from Berlin alone give 2,369,905 Likes, send 5,266,455 messages to friends and family or upload 184,326 pictures daily. In addition, there are 2,501,566 interactions in social networks every day – key figures above key figures. To advertise the right target group here is a real feat! Companies, whether fashion or more traditional industries, invest statistically over 370 million euros, only in online advertising, only in Berlin. Almost half a billion euros for digital advertising every year. At prime time, around 7 p.m. – 8 p.m., there are even 739,207 users parallel in the social networks – the best advertising time, just like on TV. Berlin thus has a decisive influence on the use of media in Berlin. This is why influencer marketing is also gaining influence. We help you to find the right way.

Become a model: Prerequisites

In order to conquer the international catwalks from Cologne, there are some success factors that every prospective model should bring along. One of the basic requirements is height. For years, a minimum size of 1.75 m has counted as one of the tickets for a professional model career (as a rule, there are always exceptions, but more rarely). Even if the exceptions like Kate Moss are always making headlines, these models are still the exception of the rule for a professional model agency. As a second criterion, age is also a decisive factor. Most newcomers start modeling at the age of 16 to 20. Some models are also discovered earlier. These are usually occasional part-time jobs, which always require the consent of the parents until they reach the age of majority. Other features also play an important role in modeling. First and foremost, this includes pure skin with invisible pores and well-groomed hair that makes a variety of different looks possible.

If you have exactly these basic requirements and have been thinking about working as a model for a long time, you can take the first step into a modeling career by applying to a Berlin model agency. This requires both a formal cover letter and pictures taken by a professional photographer. Anyone who has already worked as a model usually has a model folder that should not be missing at any job interview. Serious agencies require neither for the exception in their card index nor the creation of a sedcard money from their models. The expenses count as an investment, since the agencies also earn money with the later bookings of their models. Another basic requirement for working as a model is to prove discipline. This is valid for every kind of booking as well as for the castings completed before.

Become a Model

Become a model – fashion, advertising and magazines

A not insignificant part of the profession consists of waiting times, working hours that often last well into the night and the persistence in poses for the perfect picture. All this is as much a part of the work as a model as the make-up and hairdressing of the hair. Since the young girls or male models are only a part of a whole team, it is necessary to write back one’s own ego and very quickly show a professional work attitude in order to be really successful as a model. Therefore the punctuality of a model is one of the keys to success. This is especially true for outdoor shootings, where often only little time is left to exploit the perfect lighting conditions. Discipline and punctuality have been the cradle of many German models not only in Cologne. Which is why they have been in great demand internationally, not only since familiar faces such as Claudia Schiffer and Heidi Klum.

Not to be underestimated in a life as a model is also the ability to take criticism to heart, but not to lose the fun at work because of the frequent rejection during the castings. Often those responsible already have an exact picture of the models for their campaigns in their heads, where even small details can be the deciding factor for a rejection. For a successful modeling career it is therefore a great advantage to build a network. With the contacts to photographers or other persons from the fashion industry or advertising it is easier to remain in the memory and be so with a future project in the shortlist. The dependence on castings is far less strong through the network than without these additional opportunities and possibilities.

Model application: cover letter and photos

The most important rule is to always keep your cover letter short – best of all, always use the application form on the website. What’s the matter with you? Here all important information is already requested, so you can’t forget anything, but you don’t invest too much time for your model agency cover letter and your application. Because in a renowned and good model agency, sometimes 50 to 100 applications arrive daily. If there is only one scout in the agency, he has only a few seconds for each application, besides the actual agency work. That’s why you have to score by your photo, not by a long cover letter. You’ll learn how to do that here: Photos for application.

Model agency: Introduction and interview

The stage fright rises with every job interview, of course also with the presentation in the model agency. You have to know one thing, top agencies like ours and others are super sweet! What’s the matter with you? Photo shootings and video shoots are all about joy, fun and laughter – almost always. That’s why you need a trustful cooperation with your Model Management. That’s why you start friendly from the first minute and it stays that way! That’s why you don’t have to have stage fright, just be natural! Here are some more tips for your application interview.

Advertising spots for streaming, TV and cinema

Once you’ve done it, there are many doors open for you. A good modeling agency is your key to international partner agencies, advertising agencies, creative directors, casting agencies and many more. This is of course the step into international jobs, as well as here Janine and Mark for Henkell. A great success and your way to great jobs, trips and interesting people around models, photographers and many others.

Prerequisites: Modeling with ambition and discipline

All beginnings are small. Don’t expect when you start making big money right away as a model. The first step is to build up a book. But you should not pay attention to the money when choosing a job, but simply work as much as possible. Because you have to gather experience and photos, so that you can also prove yourself at larger castings. It is quite normal that you will not be taken at castings or that you make mistakes. Don’t be discouraged, be ambitious and have discipline, because this is the only way you will succeed in the modeling world.

In addition, it is also important to consider how you would like to work:

  1. National, Intercontinental or International?
  2. High Fashion and Haute Couture or Commercial (Advertising)?
  3. Age and competition?

As a young model you have much more competition than “Best Ager” over 60. You will notice this again and again at castings, so don’t forget: Ambition, discipline and patience are the A&O.

Minimum size: dimensions and weight

The “right” measurements and the “perfect” weight are always an issue for models, right from the first second. There is no one ideal picture, different areas demand different basics. For high fashion, slim and big applies, for commercial (advertising) the conditions are already more flexible. The requirements also vary depending on whether you only want to work nationally or internationally. Roughly the sizes can be divided in such a way. The closer you are to these dimensions, the better the requirements – apart from personality.

  • Women
    Body size for Fashion: 176 – 180cm / International
    Body size for advertising: 172 – 181cm / Germany
    Slim figure, usually long hair
  • Men
    Body size for Fashion: 186 – 190cm / International
    Body size for advertising: 184 – 194cm / Germany
    Slim or slightly sporty figure

Fashion show: Haute Couture & Pret-A-Porter

The fashion show, the dream of thousands of budding models all over the world. Once for the great designers run across the catwalk. But every beginning is small and the basics of a fashion show have to sit. Everything you need to know about a fashion show and the difference between Prêt-à-porter and Haute Courture can be found here:

  • Fashion show: Basics
  • Haute Couture & Pret-A-Porter

Multi Talents – Also for international advertising productions

You shoot commercials as a model not only for the German market, often the commercials are also published in other countries all over the world.

City

Modeling in Cologne

Cologne is considered one of the largest media cities in Germany. Due to the presence of TV stations such as RTL, there is always a need for models for advertising sports, online store shootings or similar productions. Of course, it does not mean that you will be taken directly for every job that is advertised, but of course there are good chances. In order to bridge the waiting time of the Castings sensibly we tell you the most beautiful restaurants in Cologne.

Between dream job and reality

The opinion as a model to earn a lot of money and lead a luxurious life in the shortest possible time, which is still prevalent today, becomes reality only for very few models. For the majority of models in Berlin or other cities, this profession is a full-time job that leaves little free time or room for other activities. Instead of starting out in an apartment of their own, the modeling career begins mainly with other models in a shared flat that can only rarely compete with the standard they are accustomed to at home. Life in these shared flats also includes constantly changing roommates, so there is hardly any time to get to know each other better or to make deeper friendships. As a model you are on the road a lot and have to be prepared for every situation. Have a look at the Model Basics about travel, castings and jobs.

Springboard to the international career between Paris and New York

Once here, the international competition of the most beautiful models from all six continents reaches a new level. Because each of the models that has made it this far has the same goal to run the big fashion weeks and present the latest collections of the most famous designers. Of course, only those models who have achieved exactly this goal with the help of a model agency, such as Gigi Hadid, become publicly known. The many unknown faces of the model industry are quickly forgotten. What distinguishes these lucky few today is not only their jobs but also the promotion of their own person in the social networks. From Instagram to Facebook, a successful modeling career today is associated with much more initiative than just photo shoots or catwalks. In the end, however, it is always the luck that decides which model people will still remember in 10 or 20 years.

Modeljobs: waiting time and professionalism

In the job a model everyday life in Cologne consists again and again also of waiting times. For the model, this means sitting still for several minutes or even hours during make-up and styling or waiting for the set to be set up for a shooting. Anyone who loses patience here not only behaves unprofessionally, but also leaves a negative impression on the customer. This does not only apply to behaviour, however, since the body of a model must also become the figurehead of one’s own professionalism. To appear on the set with oily hair or skin impurities is therefore just as much a no go for a successful model as to let yourself go. This is what the customers expect from the models they book as well as from the model agency, since each shooting is usually associated with a tight schedule and an exact budget, which leave little room for a new casting. In this respect, everyday life on set has little in common with what casting shows convey to models. After all, in the real working world of a model, it is not the judgement of a jury that counts, but rather that the model fits the respective collection or advertising concept. Being in the right place at the right time is therefore the true catalyst for a long career as a model.
