Agency description
|
Founded in Iceland in the mid 90ies by Asta Kristjansdottir, formerly a model herself, Eskimo sparked out in 1998 to search more "dottirs" in Russia's Wild East: Siberia. Our main office in Tomsk is overlooking scouting activities in Omsk, Novosibirsk, Barnaul, Krasnojarsk, Chelyabinsk, Ekaterinburg, Perm, and Ufa. We focus on primary scouting at schools, and have gained a reputation for being - yes - very selective, but developing and launching in turn new talent quickly and at the highest level.
In early 2001, we opened doors in Slovakia. We consider this step as the move towards true internationalization of our business and as the bridgehead for further expansion in Central Europe. From Bratislava our van Alice systematically travels the country to make sure that we don't miss any unpolished diamond not even in the most remote.
Also in 2001, we touched the shores of Rio de Janeiro … and settled. We eventually moved further South to Florianopolis with the intention to be closer to the fertile scouting grounds in Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Caterina and Parana.
In September 2002 we made a strategic investment in Bohemia Model Management, a well established agency in Prague.
We are currently representing a limited number of models, around 50, whose international career we initiate, plan and direct – alongside the partner agencies that we carefully select for each model. This number will not change substantially despite the large amount of new talent we find each month; though we may be involved in a wide geographical realm, we would, if it came to a choice, rather be best than biggest. This together with our overall approach and style clearly differentiates us; we are confident it will lead to superior results for our models, our clients, our partners and ourselves in the long run.

We place our models with agencies around the world; our selection criteria are based on career management abilities, performance, financial soundness, and sympathy. We try to be an open, involving and reliable partner - qualities which we'd like to be measured against.
Our business is highly competitive and we aggressively seek to expand client relationships. We want to be a fair competitor and do not want to denigrate other professionals in our business, although we reserve the right to occasionally laugh about ourselves, badmouth our friends and tease our best clients.

All of us at Eskimo, wherever we are, whatever we do, want our agency to be an exciting and rewarding place to be.
Our job is to find the best new modelling talent in any of the many countries around the world we work in. We will train the new models in all aspects of their new profession, and when they are ready, and only when they are ready, we will launch them on their international career. Then we will be with them, as a promoter, guide and friend for the rest of their professional lives. We really want the best for our models, at all times, and for all time.
We believe that having the best models, well-trained and professional in their attitude and behaviour, is the best way to serve our clients. Our experience shows that if we serve our clients well, our own success will follow.
Our assets are our people, capital and reputation. If any of these is ever diminished, the last is the most difficult to restore. Because we are one agency, but in many countries, we can make sure that our models and our clients will meet the same high standards wherever and whenever they touch Eskimo. We want them to count on the quality of our work, and the honesty of our dealings.
Our business is hard work. We always do our best. We really enjoy it.
