Press Release Body: IMJ-Online, powered by Minogue Verlag GmbH, has opened up a world of possibilities for aspiring models from all over the globe.
Whether newcomer or professional, male or female, over 10,000 models have chosen www.IMJ-Online.com to help them pursue their dreams to become part of the international fashion industry. Actors and talents for film, television and stage are also supported and assisted by IMJ-Online.
IMJ-Online is not a model agency or an acting agency in the traditional sense. There is no “typical” IMJ-Online model or actor. The talents and interests are as diverse as the geographical locations from which the artists stem.
IMJ-Online is 100% international – this means that no one nationality or region is given preferential treatment.
Assistance in helping models, actors and booking agents connect is conducted solely via the Internet. Models and actors have equal opportunities for international exposure. All have access to top modelling companies, fashion production companies and professionals worldwide!
IMJ-Online editor Avalon Keets explains: “How the models, actors and bookers proceed once initial contact is made is purely up to them. IMJ-Online does not interfere in the process – we facilitate the original introduction and then let the participants work out the details. Models and actors can search for casting calls or for bookers in their area. And bookers can post casting calls to find models or actors for their events or photo shoots. So both sides can initiate contact. For the model’s privacy, however, initial contact from bookers goes through our website. We never give out IMJ-Online member private details.
“This, of course means that the IMJ-Online members must take a great deal of responsibility to manage their own careers. The process is member-driven from the start. Models and actors work as independents in the eyes of IMJ-Online. They post their own photos, arrange their own composite cards, and take the initiative to contact bookers who post casting calls via our service. I wish I would have had this kind of control over my modeling career when I was just getting started!”
Registered booking agents include photographers, designers, model agents, event organizers and promotion/advertising agents. Many IMJ-Online bookers have an international presence – with offices in South Africa, New York and Paris, for example.
IMJ-Online takes no booking fees and bookers register for free. Models and actors can set up a functional if limited New Star account that is valid for one year and is free of charge. Many of the members serious about their modeling or acting career then decide to upgrade to an Exclusive account which includes, for example, an online portfolio, up to 15 photos for their composite card, access to casting calls and e-mail notification of casting calls in their area of interest. A subscription to an Exclusive account is a genuine bargain at $9.99 per month, with discounts for quarterly and yearly payment agreements.
