About us
A small board,
worked properly.
The BOA Agency is a model management company. We represent a deliberately small roster for editorial, campaign, commercial and runway work, and we develop new faces from first digitals to first booking.
The industry has no shortage of large boards. What it has a shortage of is agents with the time to actually work them — to know which model is right for a brief before the client asks, to prepare someone properly for a casting, and to answer the phone when a job goes sideways at 6am.
That is the whole thesis. Sign fewer people. Know them. Pitch them by name.
How we work
Selective by design
We take on a model when we can see the work we would put her up for. If we cannot name three clients on the day we meet, we say no — and we say why.
Development, not just placement
Test shoots, book edits, walking, casting technique, and the unglamorous parts — invoicing, visas, usage terms, knowing what to sign. New faces get the most time, because that is when it matters most.
Direct access for clients
One point of contact from brief to wrap. Availability, options and rates come back fast, with the shortlist reasoned rather than dumped.
Straight terms
Clear commission, clear usage, clear payment timelines, in writing before the job. Models should know exactly what they earn and when it arrives.
For models
If you are considering signing somewhere
Ask any agency — us included — three questions before you sign anything: what is the commission on both sides, who specifically will be pitching you, and what happens if nothing books in six months.
A good agent will have straight answers ready. A reputable agency will never ask you to pay for representation, a portfolio package, or a place on a website.
