Flashback Friday! Maxim/Jose Cuervo Beach Party!

It's the end of June and Chicago still hasn't seen Summer. I thought that this picture would remind us of warmer days. Here is a picture from the Maxim/Jose Cuervo beach party that we were part of a couple years ago. The promotional models were hired to interact with attendees at one of the stops on the AVP tour. It was a great weekend full of events! Team Pink Avenue

Flashback Friday! Another Fun Chicago Event!

This picture is from a last minute event in Chicago. Our client hired promotional models to assist with registration to a screening of a new movie. The theater was rented just for our client and his guests. It was a pretty cool event! Team Pink Avenue

Model Submissions

I know that the team at Pink Avenue Models had written about this numerous times but we keep getting the same wrong submissions. We look for promotional models that are experienced and professional. We want models that are interested in working trade shows, events, and other types of promotions. When submitting online there are a couple of things that we look for. Please use your real name not your stage name. Also, use an appropriate email address. When we see your email and it's inappropriate or you're calling yourself a queen or a bad bi**h its an automatic turn off. Please submit 4 different pictures like the fields ask for and upload a resume with promotional experience. We only work with models 18+ so keep that in mind as well. We do not manage talent and models work as independent contractors, we won't make anyone famous. Keep this things in mind when filling out your submission. We are always looking for new talent and hope to work with you soon! Team Pink Avenue

ADS - San Antonio, Texas

We don't get a ton of events in Texas but we do get some. We have an event coming up in August at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.

If you still need trade show models for this event please contact the team at Pink Avenue Models, we can be reached at 312.993.7991 or by email at info@pinkavenuemodels.com for more information.

Flashback Friday! Summer in Chicago!

Survival Tips for Promotional Models

I have worked in the promotional modeling industry for a while now, longer than most. I have worked as a promotional model at trade shows, events, street teams, and just about any other type of event there is. I have also worked at 2 agencies and have been part of everything this industry has to offer. We love what we do and are so lucky to work in this industry. We need promotional models, as many as we can find. We want to help you get booked with us and other modeling agencies across the country. Here are a couple things that we look for when it comes to adding promotional models to our database.

1. Be professional. This includes everything from your email address to your pictures and resume. We want our clients to have the best models for their events.
2. Watch what you say on your social media pages and on the job forum pages. We see everything.
3. Be reliable. We understand that things happen but since we do work in a flakey industry we don't believe every excuse that we hear.
4. Don't bother the agency. We receive a ton of calls and emails every day and try to answer all of them. Unfortunately we have no say in who our clients choose for their events, they always pick.
5. Be promo model ready. This means have black pants, a business suit, flats, heels, and khakis. These are basic uniforms for events.

These are a couple tips that will hopefully be helpful to future models. Good luck! Team Pink Avenue

Summer Has Arrived in Chicago!

Summer has arrived in Chicago, I think! The forecast is calling for high 80's all week. This means it is time to pull out our Summer dresses and shorts finally. This also means that we have all realized we haven't seen the sun in 8 months and are quite pale. I support the fake tan and staying out of the sun, we have to be safe. Here is a quick article that shows us the best products to use for that Summer glow that we all want. http://www.allure.com/makeup-looks/2015/how-to-get-natural-looking-fake-tan#slide=1 There are going to be a ton of outdoor events the next couple months. The best tip I can give our promotional models is to keep sunscreen in your bags/purses at all times. Make sure you stay hydrated as well. Have a great Summer! Team Pink Avenue

Flashback Friday!

Chicago still has Fall temperatures so I felt like it was appropriate to use this picture from Halloween weekend a couple of years ago. This was a street team promotion that we staffed in Chicago, San Francisco and New York. Team Pink Avenue
