About

1996 was a pivotal year.

eBay was started, Charles and Di got divorced, Dolly the sheep was the first mammal cloned, and, the world feared if they ate a cheeseburger and couldn't remember where they left their keys, they had Mad Cow disease.

This was also the year that Agency Models and Talent was founded in a basement office with a box full of comp cards that were mistakenly used as a litter box by foster kittens, and a sack-load of change harvested from Walmart parking lots.

Thankfully, after that year, things only got better. At least for eBay and Agency Models and Talent.

Since then, Agency Models and Talent has grown into a powerful, and, respected contributor to the advertising and film industry.

Known for finding and developing solid models and actors in the Midwest, we provide talent for commercial and editorial print, television commercials, social media, runway, film, corporate and live industrials, home shopping models and spokespersons, and episodic television.
