AGENT Event Celebrates Industry Change Makers and Better Protection for Models


Exclusive Party Brings Together Top Models and Influential Change Makers




LOS ANGELES --  AGENT celebrated its position as the fastest growing modeling platform in the world by bringing together the industry's top models and honoring entertainment's most influential change makers. The exclusive event, attended by more than 200 models, celebrities, influencers and clients, took place May 22nd on the rooftop sky deck at The Vision on Wilshire. In addition to the top AGENT models, the guest list included Vanderpump Rules' Billie Lee, Jesse Montana, The Bachelor's Chad Johnson, Celebrity Fitness Trainer Seth Browning, top influencers, internationally recognized models, and the industry's top changemakers.

"AGENT is more than a booking platform, it is a movement that is flipping the modeling industry on its head," says Mark Willingham, co-founder and CEO of AGENT. 

"For over 70 years, the modeling industry has remained unchanged.  It's time to create a safer space for models and more efficient way for clients to book them. It's time for fair treatment and transparency. Our industry has a long history of harassment, lack of inclusivity and an unbalanced power structure. AGENT is changing that. This event is all about the celebration of that change and honoring the folks who are standing up and doing what they can to move the needle in the right direction." 

With over 25,000 models registered nationwide, AGENT, Inc. is currently the fastest growing modeling platform in the world. Forbes calls AGENT "The Uber of the Modeling Industry," while The Sun refers to it as "The Digital Game-Changer for Models," and Fast Company praises AGENT for its stance and efforts to protect models.

"The evening celebrated our LA-based models and clients, as well as provided an opportunity to thank our #changeAGENTS who are focused on making a difference in this world. By shedding light on the folks who are working to create positive change, we are driven to further grow our own movement in the modeling industry and to encourage others to be #changeAGENTS.

Dr. Brian Couey, Clinical Director for the  Hazelden  Betty Ford Foundation, joined News 8’s Heather Myers  Wednesday  to talk about the opioid epidemic and how the foundation is working tirelessly to fight it.
