Agency Overview
Meredith Model Management opened its doors in 1977 in Wayne, New Jersey under the direction of Joyce Meredith, a Minneapolis girl who began modeling at the age of fourteen before continuing her career in the East. Meredith Model Management, which Joyce began out of her home, went on to become one of the most respected agencies on the East Coast. The agency philosophy was based on what Joyce cares about most ? integrity, perseverance and compassion. These qualities aided many aspiring models to succeed in their careers. In 1987 Joyce set a precedent by winning a lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Labor to guarantee models the right to be independent contractors, ensuring that they would always be free to work with the agency of their choice. Joyce remains active in major contract negotiations and serves as a consultant for both the New Jersey and Minneapolis offices.

In March of 1991, Stacy Meredith left her career in advertising and photography in New York City and opened a second office, Meredith Model & Talent in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her goal has been to continue her mother?s tradition of leadership by providing superior quality and professional service, while maintaining the highest ethical standards. The office moved to Minneapolis in 1998, improving the proximity and accessibility to clients and potential talent. Meredith is a SAG/AFTRA talent agency currently representing over 1,000 models and actors ranging from infants to the seniors. As a full service commercial agency, Meredith works with clients both locally and nationwide, to provide talent for print advertising, film, TV, radio and fashion assignments.

Meredith offers the only full color agency book in the upper Mid-West. The knowledgeable, friendly staff, fully trained in all aspects of the business, facilitates their clients? requests efficiently and professionally. Demo tapes, CDs, portfolios, 8x10s, and composite cards will be provided free of charge at your request.

How do I become a talent with Meredith?

The director will review the photo, composite card, or demo tape and if we have an opening in your range you will be contacted for an appointment. Photos need to be a minimum of 4x6?, not to exceed an 8x10, and do not have to be professionally taken. Include a resume, cover letter and have the following information on the back of the photo:

I sent in my photos, have you received them?
The director reviews all photos and if we have an opening in your range you will be contacted for an appointment. Interviews are scheduled when the directors schedule permits, so please be patient.


What do I need to know about child modeling?
A child breaking into the modeling or acting profession needs a good head shot, a parent to get them where they need to go and a quality agent who teaches them the business. Modeling school is not a requirement.


Have you ever heard of XYZ agency?
It is company policy not to comment on any other talent or modeling agency. All agents are also instructed not to give out recommendations for doctors, dentists, lawyers, modeling schools etc.
