A model agency is a service company that places models with clients for various projects. On the one hand, our Cologne model agency maintains a comprehensive database of male and female models from Cologne by checking model applications, providing tips for optimising sedcards, organising test shoots and advising models on questions. On the other hand, this gives us the opportunity to suggest exactly the right models to our clients for various project requests and to place them in model jobs.
Young or inexperienced models in particular need a modelling agency that supports them in their career entry, helps them build up a meaningful sedcard, finds them their first jobs and, above all, protects them from dubious clients, gagging contracts or other pitfalls of the modelling business. But experienced models also apply to our Cologne model agency in order to save themselves the effort of ongoing client acquisition or the organisation of projects.
If you are looking for a suitable model agency, you should consider a few things: First of all, model agencies often address very different target groups. Some, for example, specialise only in best agers or plus-size models, while others, like our Cologne model agency, maintain a diverse roster with very different characters. Here, of course, model type and agency have to match. In addition, it is best for an agency to always accept online applications or otherwise be located near one's home so that one can save long journeys. Speaking of applications: Both the application and the acceptance into a model agency should always be free of charge! We strongly advise against agencies that claim otherwise.
Last but not least, we recommend listening to your gut feeling: A visit to the website or on site as well as telephone or personal contact with the agency often give a good first impression of whether a good cooperation is possible.
No, if an agency offers online applications, you can apply there as a model even if it is not near you. At the-models, for example, we are not only represented as a model agency in Cologne, but all over Germany.
If you are looking for a reputable modelling agency, there are a few points to start with.
No! A professional modelling agency does not require its models to pay an admission fee or a monthly management fee for the file.

You can easily apply to our Cologne model agency here online. All you need to have ready is some time, a tape measure and at least one digital portrait photo and one full-body photo. Most model agencies now offer online applications, but there are also some agencies that would like to see a model in person first.
After receiving your application, it usually takes 5-10 days for our Cologne model agency to get back to you. In case of a particularly high number of applicants, it may take a little longer.
