Book Models History
It all began back in 2016 when the founders of Bookmodels.com set out to create a platform for marketing professionals and event hosts to find the perfect models for their projects and parties. What started as a simple idea is now a progressive booking platform and a leading source of models across the U.S.
When the company founder, Carver, needed a variety of US-based amateur models for a large social media project back in 2016, he realized there was no go-to site, platform or agency to book amateur models easily, affordable, and in a timely fashion.
He spent weeks reaching out to dozens of agencies, submitting contact forms to hoards of modeling sites, and browsing through tons of outdated or fake profiles on the handful of decent modeling community sites out there. When he did get a response, either the prices and commitment were high or the models were flakey.
Ultimately he knew thousands of other marketing professionals and event planners faced the same challenges. And, as the former marketing head of a medium-sized technology company, he knew a bit of creativity and tech could solve the problem. So Bookmodels.com was founded to create a revolutionary, yet simple platform for models.
