Model Exchange International
To Whom It May Concern:
Can you tell me if you have ever heard anything on Model
Exchange International out of Madison, WI? Wondering
if this is a respected model agency or not.
G.W.
G.,
Nobody has contacted Modeling Scams regarding Model
Exchange International with complaints or
comments.
It is not a "respected" model agency on the
level of Ford, Wilhelmina, etc.
It does not appear to have a website at modelexchange.com,
but there is another site on pinupglamour.com based in
Madison, WI:
http://www.pinupglamour.com/ModelExchange/
Although it calls itself a "full service modeling
agency," and the full name includes "International," there
is no sign on that website it has offices outside of
Wisconsin, or even Madison.
When you see "international," you might expect
to find they have offices in different countries.
There are only 8 models profiled. All women. It appears
to be a small setup which specializes in glamour/pinup
photography.
The owner or contact person of "Model Exchange
International" appears to be a photographer.
In fact, the exact same address is given for both the "modeling
agency" and the photographer.
Both the names end the same (Ltd.), and both have the
same address (P.O. Box).
It appears to be a photo studio posing as a model agency.
If you decide to investigate further, the questions
to ask would be:
1. How long have you been around?
2. How many countries do you work in? ("International")
3. How many work on staff?
There is a respectable modeling agency in Wisconsin
called Arlene Wilson Management. They have an office
in Milwaukee and their models seem to have appeared in
fashion magazines. The website address is:
http://www.arlenewilson.com/
I'd recommend contacting them or any other modeling
agency which has been around for several years, has offices
in different cities, and more than a few on staff.
Response from Dylan Scott Agency:
I noticed you gave advice to a certain "G.W." about
respectable modeling agencies in Wisconsin.
You cited Arlene Wilson as an agency which operates
in Wisconsin, which is accurate, although it is based
in Chicago, Illinois.

Scott Agency, is a full-service agency
which is based in Madison, Wisconsin, and has operated
for 10 years.
We represent talent for television, film, and print,
and have placed qualified individuals in Tokyo, Paris,
