Mother agency
← Back to glossaryDefinition
A model's mother agency is generally the first agency that discovered them and with which they began their modeling career. It defines the strategic direction of their career, places them in foreign partner agencies, and manages any difficulties (such as image rights recovery). The model may change mother agencies during their career. The mother agency receives a commission on each contract performed by the model, even abroad.
