Models in the USA: Application, Booking, Agency
The way via a reputable model agency or a model agent or model booker is always the best for you. This way has established itself. Because a model agency makes sure that your career goes well. Already at the beginning it takes care that you get good contacts to photographers and the possibility for good test shootings, ideally magazine publications. So you can build up your own model portfolio already at the beginning. A good model agency will also get you first good contacts to customers for casting and jobs.
First Shootings – Modelbook & Modelbook
In the first months it is often tempting for models to do many photo shoots with many photographers. Really? Here it is important to pay attention to quality, with tips and recommendations from your model management, you have already at the beginning a good photographer selection and a good industry overview. In addition, you will be explained what to look out for, not only in shootings, but also when travelling or with customers. Arrived in the USA, the models first notice how broadly fenced the model world is, in contrast to Europe. So the model portfolio has to be very good. That doesn’t mean that you need a lot of picture material, but the photos in the folder must be able to present you very well. So you will be short-listed for castings and get jobs for big brands.
From Germany to Chicago – International Commercial Model
We met with our Johanna. A model who had already experienced an exciting journey with us. How important a balanced and healthy nutrition is for a successful model and that fun and discipline are essential for success, are only a few points she communicates to us with conviction.

Jobs & Booking for advertising and fashion
The model world is extremely diverse. In the field of fashion you can model events for online shops, magazines, catwalks and other designers, while in the advertising industry you can model shootings for instagra, commercials, product photography or similar. Perfect, for models who want to live out themselves and can try everything in front of the camera.
Fashion and fashion show
Many young models first think of the fashion show. While all live shows look very simple, there is a lot of planning and hectic behind the scenes. All models have to wear several outfits during the show and have to be repainted again and again. Meanwhile the choreography has to sit. Did you already 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 pieces you present as models. Here you get to know designers, but also customers, punctuality and discipline. If you convince your customers and therefore also your agency, you will also get jobs for shows.
Advertising, Online Shop and Social Media
In the USA, projects for various brands are one of the most frequently organized. Especially the advertising industry likes to travel there. There is often a huge team behind the whole thing. The photo shootings for Instagram and online shops mentioned above are even more challenging. 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 you release the camera, so 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 often it goes abroad and between Berlin, airport, hotel and production everything has to be right, so that you as a model are punctually on the set.
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 clients in Berlin come back to us for 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.
Our casting agency takes care of all the details. We can give your project manager direct free dates of our model in the USA, send photo folders and last but not least we are happy to take over all briefings. With the success of every booking, we place great value in our daily mediation work on always being able to give our models the time through balanced management of the model file, so that they can always fully brief themselves and prepare specifically for the job. With the focus on qualitative model construction, our casting agency puts a lot of commitment into the individual development of our models. This makes it possible for all our young models to have unique castings for jobs right at the beginning of their career as models.
become a model – fashion, advertising and magazines
The American creative scene never sleeps! All major designers, campaigns and brands like to work in the fashion and VIP metropolis. No matter if catwalks, shooting magazine or commercials – the inquiries are very big. As an agency, we take you into this world and are a pillar in this industry. Since models need a professional attitude to work in order to be successful as models, we are in constant contact with you.
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 of the profession in the frequent rejection during the castings. Often the responsible persons already have an exact picture of the models for their campaigns in their heads, where even small details can be the decisive factor for a refusal. For a successful model career it is therefore a big advantage to build up 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 dependency on castings is far less strong through the network than without these additional opportunities.
Minimum size: Dimensions and weight
Every customer, every country and every job requires different dimensions. Nevertheless, as an agency we try to introduce a certain standard in order to bring our models into the high fashion industry. Commercial jobs (advertising) in particular are naturally more flexible. Roughly speaking, the sizes can be divided in this way. The closer you are to these sizes, the better the conditions – apart from your personality. If you are registered as a model with us, we will develop a guide together for you and your career.
Model Application: Cover letter and photos
The cover letter should not be a letter of application – so always keep it short. We have an application form on our website. It’s about the most important information we need to get a first impression. Because in a renowned and good model agency 50 to 100 applications come in daily, which are processed as fast as possible. 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 points with your photo, not with a long cover letter. You can learn how to do this 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! Why? 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 exactly why you start friendly from the first minute and that’s how it stays! That’s why you don’t need to have stage fright, just be natural! Furthermore, it is interesting for us as an agency to know where your journey should go. For example, some models want to go abroad after graduating from high school. So we can prepare you for it and advertise for you. Here are even more tips for your application interview.
Advertising spots for streaming, TV and cinema
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.
Prerequisites: Ambition and discipline
There are few professions where competition is as intense as in the model industry. Especially in the USA hundreds of young models come to a casting. It means staying ambitious and demonstrating discipline. In these cases, fixed dates are only allocated in individual cases, which is why waiting times make up a large part of everyday life. Additionally a model earns money only with the jobs however not with the Castings. However, there is no guarantee to land a coveted job with a casting.
Our media agency for Casting & Social Media
Our casting agency takes care of all the details. We can give your project manager free dates of our model in the USA, send photo folders and last but not least take over all briefings. With the success of every booking, we place great value in our daily mediation work on always being able to give our models the time through balanced management of the model file, so that they can always fully brief themselves and prepare specifically for the job. With the focus on qualitative model construction, our casting agency puts a lot of commitment into the individual development of our models. This makes it possible for all our young models to have unique castings for jobs right at the beginning of their career as models. At the beginning, trust professional actors for the shooting in the USA. In the actor management we examine modern ideas and ways of moderators with success that speaks for us.
Influencer Marketing: USA
The strategy is to inspire experts and opinion leaders in a very specific subject area as advocates for themselves. Influencers, for example, exert influence on the assessment and also on the evaluation of employers and companies, also in the American region. In influencer marketing, targeted multipliers with community relevant to companies are used for advertising and marketing ideas to ensure success. We work daily on the optimization of our influencer campaigns, together with our Social Media Agency. Influencers have long made a name for themselves with their followers. Influencers are musicians or often seen actors Influencer stands for a person who fits perfectly because of their high reputation and their high reach in social networks for marketing brands Increase the value of your brand with the trust of your target group by supporting the influencers. Regionally this is the most visited boutique. Read more about our Influencer here.
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.
Modeling in the USA
The stronghold of VIPs, stars and starlets of the model and fashion world. Everyone dreams of being at the events of these celebrities and enjoying the fashion and lifestyle industry. Behind all this is the saying: “From dishwasher to millionaire”. In the USA, hard work, talent and hard work are the best examples of this attitude to life. Models should also follow this principle.
Between dream job and reality
In order to get to the top as a model, you should not be afraid of strenuous work. Especially in America the competition doesn’t sleep. From casting to casting many models are sought and only the best walks and portfolios are won. It’s a hard everyday life, but it also shows you the most beautiful sides of the fashion world. As an agency, we support you in organizing castings, coaching sessions and jobs.
Springboard to an international career between Paris and New York
In order not to be thrown into the cold water, you should be well prepared. Cocaine Models offers you simple shootings and coachings that will help you to get ahead as a model. With our coach you will be prepared for the most different moments of a model. It’s not just about posing in front of the camera – it’s about attitude, personality and quality.
Modeljobs: waiting time and professionalism
In the job a model everyday life in the USA 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. If you lose your patience here, you will not only be unprofessional, you will also leave a negative impression on the customer. This does not only apply to behaviour, since the body of a model must also become the figurehead of one’s own professionalism. To appear on the set with greasy hair or skin impurities is therefore just as much a no go for a successful model as to let oneself go. This is what the customers expect from the models they book as well as the model agency, since each shooting is usually associated with a tight schedule and a precise budget, which leave little scope for a new casting. In this respect, everyday life on the set has little in common with what casting shows convey for 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 at the right place at the right time is therefore the true catalyst for a long career as a model.
