Agencies change. Markets change. The record of what you have done, who you did it with, and what you are owed should outlast all of it. Model Citizen is where a working career lives, whether you are signed, between agencies, or represented in five countries at once.
Most working models are signed, unsigned, and signed again. Most work across markets, with different agencies holding different pieces: one has your digitals, another has last spring's campaign, a third has the booker who actually likes you. Every one of those relationships ends eventually, and the record of the work usually leaves with it. Model Citizen is the part that does not end. Bring all of your agencies with you, and keep one continuous record of your working life.
Your book, your credits, your agencies, the contacts buried in old texts. Years of work scattered across phones, folders and other people's systems, gathered into one record you own.
The same record, turned outward: an editorial site on your own link, with comp card, portfolio, motion reel, press and a direct booking inbox. Always current, because it is built from what you already keep.
Sign with an agency, leave one, add a third in another country. Nothing moves. The record, the contacts and the site are yours throughout, and brands who come through your own door pay you directly, at no commission to us.
Modeling is a business, and most models run it out of six different places. Shoot dates in your phone. Contacts buried in old texts. Credits you half-remember, digitals in a folder someone shared with you once. Model Citizen puts all of it in one place you own: your work history, your calendar, your contacts, your inquiries, what you’ve earned. Then it gives the whole thing a front door: one link, for your bio, for a DM, for the brand you just met on set. You get organized. They see a professional.
The half only you see. Everything a booker keeps on your behalf, kept by you as well, and for good.
Shoots, holds, castings, fittings and travel in one place, with clashes flagged before you double-book.
Your private rolodex of photographers, stylists, casting directors and brands. Who you worked with, and on what.
Every campaign, editorial and screen credit, archived properly instead of half-remembered.
What you invoiced, what landed, what’s outstanding. Ready for tax season.
Brand requests and audition briefs tracked from first message to booked.
The half the world sees. One link that makes the case for you when you’re not in the room.
An editorial, mobile-first site on your own link. Built for you, always current.
Auto-generated from your profile, downloadable, never out of date.
Photos, reel and screen credits, curated and reordered by you.
Brands reach you through your own door, alongside anything your agencies bring. No cut taken, no one negotiating on your behalf.
See who’s looking and what performs, and be found on a roster brands trust.
That is the whole of what it gives you. For a working model, it is the least interesting part of the problem.
They are good tools. Used well, you end up with a perfectly nice site, built from the same template a dentist used, that says nothing about you except that you paid for it.
Nobody looked at your book before you were allowed in, because there is no in. There is no roster behind you, no standard you met, nothing a brand can read from the fact that you are there.
And it is only the website. The dates, the contacts, the credits and the money are still scattered wherever they already were.
An editorial site built for this profession by people who know it, on your own link, built from the record you already keep so it is never out of date.
Underneath it, the part a builder has never sold: your work history, your calendar, your contacts, your comp card, what you are owed.
And your name on a vetted roster. You are not a customer here, you are on the list, one of a small number of working professionals each reviewed before joining. A brand browsing the roster is browsing people we looked at first.
You will pay a builder about the same every month, for the website alone. A subscription to one has never once made anybody call you.
We take nothing from what you earn.
An agency earns its percentage on the work it brings you. We are not in that transaction and never will be. Membership is flat, and it buys the one thing no agency will ever hand you: the whole record of your career, in one place, for as long as you work.

Most website builders charge you the same or more and hand you an empty template. We give you the whole business, and we take zero commission, so you keep one hundred percent of every job that comes through your own door.
