What does CMT Agency do?
We book models, talent and general staffing at tradeshows, sporting events, runway shows, print modeling shoots, street marketing events, mobile tours, nightlife sampling and more. Our talent ranges from promotional models and product demonstrators to celebrity impersonators and emcees, and everything in between. If you don't see the type of talent you need for your event just ask, chances are we have it in our database!
Where are you located?
CMT Agency is headquartered in Atlanta with a satellite office in Las Vegas, but we are a nationwide agency and book local talent for every event. We have over 8,000 models in the U.S. and Canada.
How does your booking process work?
Once a client submits a booking request we check availability of those models who fit the specific needs of the booking. We then email photos and resumes of the available models to the client in a user-friendly format so they can select who they would like to confirm.
How do I become a model?
We are a totally online-based agency, so once you've registered online (click talent login on the home page and then register as a new model) and have been accepted by CMT Agency (please allow up to 72 hours for this) you can begin submitting yourself for bookings.
What is your payment process?
You'll receive a check in the mail within 30-45 days of the last day of your booking.
How soon will I know whether I’m booked?
While we'll generally book a job within about 3-5 days of posting it, we leave that job posting active in case we have any cancellations/additional clients for the event. If you submit yourself as available please remain on hold for 2-3 days, then remove yourself when/if you become unavailable after that point. Please always keep your available jobs as up-to-date as possible so we're not submitting you when you're no longer available.
How will I know when I’m booked?
When/if an agent gets you booked they will call you and it will be very clear that you are booked! In the meantime please remove yourself from the job posting once you become unavailable.
What types of photos should I upload?
Our clients prefer commercial, friendly, girl/guy-next-door type of photos. They do not have to be professional, though of course that is best. If you don't have professional photos have someone snap a few nice, clear pictures of you in a few different outfits against a plain background. Please see examples below of the type of photos we prefer:
I’m submitting for jobs and I never get booked, what’s the deal?
We can only sell you as much as you've sold yourself between your photos (please be sure you have 4-6 photos uploaded) and resumes. Please know the resume is just as important as your photos and list out a variety of promotional and tradeshow experience, and write out details of your duties so clients can see exactly what you have experience with. Please don't take it personally or get discouraged if you're not getting booked and clients have quirky reasons for picking certain people over others. Just keep submitting and we'll try to get you booked where we can. Also if you are in Atlanta please attend one of our open calls at our office Fridays between 11 am and noon so we can meet you in person. Please call ahead to confirm an appointment.
