From London to Manila: Landing a Top Commercial Modelling Job in the Philippines

Hi, I'm Charlotte! I spent the first few years of my career working on catwalks and high-fashion editorials in London. While I loved the UK scene, I knew the Philippines, particularly Metro Manila, was booming with vibrant media and incredible opportunities for commercial modelling. My goal was clear: I wanted to secure modelling jobs in the fast-paced, beauty-focused market of Southeast Asia.

The Challenge: Switching from High Fashion to Commercial

The transition wasn't just geographical; it was sectoral. I struggled to reach the specialized commercial modelling agencies in Manila from London. My UK-centric portfolio wasn't resonating with the Philippine agencies, and finding the right local contacts for casting calls felt like an impossible mission. Sending emails to every modelling agency I could find resulted in almost zero responses. The bureaucracy and the sheer distance were crippling my international expansion plans.

SendModels.com: The Strategic Bridge to Manila

I realized I needed a system that spoke the local language of professionalism. That's why I turned to SendModels.com. I updated my portfolio, added new lifestyle shots that highlighted my commercial modelling potential, and selected the Philippines as my prime target.

With the confidence of knowing I had prepared one perfect submission, I used the platform to send my profile to the top commercial modelling agencies in the region with one single click. This bypassed the manual submission chaos and ensured my profile landed directly on the desks of decision-makers in Manila. I was instantly excited about the prospect of landing real modelling jobs!

The Breakthrough: A Major Skincare Campaign

The shift was almost immediate. Within three weeks, I received a direct email from 'Star Talent PH,' a leading commercial modelling agency based in Makati. They informed me that they were actively looking for a model with my specific international profile for a major Filipino skincare brand campaign.

I immediately prepared for the virtual casting. The director at Star Talent PH told me that the organized, high-quality submission received through SendModels.com was instrumental in their decision to contact me first. The platform eliminated the need for manual screening and immediately highlighted my fit for their commercial modelling needs.

I got the modelling job! I'm now based in Manila and actively working, having recently finished a massive campaign that will be seen all over the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
