Scout Model & Talent Agency

Best agency I have ever worked with. I’ve never met such nice people who take 1 on 1 time to take care of their models. Truly a #scoutfam

Scout will sign you… focus on you for a month… and than forget about you completely. It’s always about the «most recent» face. Regardless if the «established» face has only been with the agency a few months. I wish my son didn’t sign with these people… but than again… he hasn’t got call from them in months (signed with them in Summer) so it’s like it’s no bother at all. I’ve even looked them up in great detail to see if they are legit. RUN!!! No wonder why they have such bad reviews on the Internet. Biggest joke… they will send u on a few «go-see’s» every 3 months just to keep u thinking that they haven’t forgot about u.

Scout was the first agency I worked with as a photographer. The owner, Ryan Lippert, was very kind to take a chance on me over a year ago and allowed me to photograph some of their models. This opened up many opportunities for me, and I have had nothing but positive experiences from working with them.
Sure they, are the new kids on the block, but their model board has only gotten stronger in the past year, and I have very high hopes for this agency as they hold conduct themselves as both warm and professional. It is always a pleasure to work with them!

I should have followed my guts the first time I visited their office. The kids’ agent scheduled an appointment as promised. As soon as I arrived with my toddler I asked to meet with her.
The employees didn’t even greeted us. They just called the agent and turned back around staring at their computer monitors. The agent walked us in a small room and quickly disappeared with no explanation. She came back ten minutes later with a cup of tea in her hands. After our first meeting we were contacted most of the time via email for various castings with minimal explanation on what to expect but with the assumption of showing up to places every time. We we’re contacted via phone only once again with the expectation of driving the next day to Napa for a shooting. In this case no other details were provided (I guess it would be important to know how much they pay the model in this business). Poor communication skills and a high sense of entitlement left us with a bad taste in our mouth toward the entire business.

Went to my first open call here and the vibe in Scout is so calm and relaxing! It is a perfect environment and makes you want to stay there all day! The lady I talked to was very friendly and made my experience great! Thanks Scout for making my first open call a great experience!

I have been signed with Scout for a year now and I am so happy to be with them. I started my search for an agency with Unilocal (maybe like you’re doing right now) because I had no idea about the industry and where to start. I sent in a couple of pictures to three different agencies and SCOUT responded the very next day and asked me to come in. When I met with Jada, the vibe in the office was super relaxed and not at all what I expected. Before my meeting with the agency, I imagined a «devil wears prada» kind of environment and to my pleasant surprise I heard 90’s rnb and hip hop in the office speakers and was immediately put at ease. It was at that moment, I knew these were my kind of people. Jada, my agent, was approachable, knowledgeable, experienced, professional, easy going, honest, and most importantly… genuine. I signed with them almost immediately and as soon as the other agencies started to slowly reply to my initial email, I was already happily represented.
Scout is a boutique agency which means they do not represent a huuuuge amount of people and are selective with their models which I appreciate because I never feel lost in the roster, and the communication has always been awesome. The agents take the time to get to know you, listen to your goals within the industry, and serve as a guide for you along the way. Jada and Ryan have a wealth of knowledge and experience and are two of the nicest, most sincere people you could hope to encounter. They have each been in the business for over 10+ years and have an expansive network of clients which have a mutual respect for them and the agency.
Within a year for this newbie in the industry Scout has enabled me to work with some great companies, they have flown me out for shoots, got me signed in two other markets, I have been in a couple of editorials, have met some great people along the way, and developed not only a business relationship with my agents but also a friendship. =) Thank you Jada and Ryan for taking a chance on a rookie and I am proud to be a part of the Scout family.

I had been searching for an agency for a very long time before I stumbled upon SCOUT. Because I am only 5’8, most other agencies in San Francisco hadn’t given me a chance. SCOUT was amazing to me right off the bat, seeing my potential they signed me about 5 months ago giving me the chance to model that I had been wanting for so so long.
Since I got signed, I have had nothing but pleasant experience’s. I always get a response back by the next day if I happen to send them an email. They are always welcoming when I stop by and they show that they genuinely care about building the model up to a career path in the industry. They have connected me to a lot of really great people and companies including Benefit Cosmetics.
I would highly recommend this agency to anyone who wants down to earth agents that are fast responding to emails and genuinely care about their models.

Signed with Scout last year, and I love them. I am based out of FORD models in LA, but that doesn’t stop the Scout team from getting me work all the time! So far this month I have been up there twice for two different jobs and hit up a few castings while I was there. The Scout team is so professional, caring, and an awesome group to be around. They know what they are doing and the do it well! Whether it’s a scheduling issue or flight issue, they work with talent so well to work out any problems. I don’t know what some other reviewer «Mia» said but I am as ethnic as it gets and their board has so much variety in talent.
They have such great relationships with so many clients. I have been direct booked on so many different jobs because clients trust them and know that their models are professional. punctual, and great to work with.
I think its great that they don’t just sign everyone that walks in the door. They obviously have a high standard and that is why they are kicking major butt. I am very grateful to be part of their team. They rock!

I recently signed to Scout Models in December and already got my first campaign with Mens Wearhouse on my first casting. The Scout Model team is amazing and I feel like its not just a business relationship but a friendship as well. Being African American and Asian, I needed an agency that would represent me to the best and Scout Models does exactly that.

I signed with Scout last year and so far have had a great experience with them! Being an experienced model, I’ve been through my fair share of agencies and know the difference between a legit one and one that doesn’t really do me any favors.
I like the fact that they’re small and my booker really knows me. She’s always responsive to my emails and with my ever-​changing schedule of availability. I never feel like I’m lost in their roster of models/​actors and I know when I call their offices, they know who I am.
If you want a personalized experience with an agency, I would recommend Scout. They choose quality over quantity and only send me out on castings that they know I have a high chance of booking – not cattle calls, which a lot of agencies are guilty of doing to their talent these days.
Not every model and agency is a good/​perfect fit together but as long as you meet the requirements and have a look that is currently in demand, that’s what matters most.
