New Model Agency
Argyroupoli is a southern suburb of Athens on Vouliagmenis Avenue. Of the 24 Greek agencies in our catalogue, one is here. Greece has neither a licence for model agencies nor an association of them, so the catalogue lists every agency that represents models. We do not vouch for them, and each profile shows what we found, good and bad: fees charged to applicants, payment terms, schools, company details and press reports.
The New Model Agency office is on Vouliagmenis Avenue; Athens metro line 2 runs along the avenue, with the stations Alimos and Argyroupoli. The agency has separate bookers for models, characters, actors and kids, and its New Model Kids division represents children from 2 months to 17 years. Its own sources give different founding years: the website title says 1989, and the company page says it started in 1991.
In its terms the agency writes that it pays a model only once the client has paid and no sooner than 6 months after the day of the job. TV commercials, shoots, series and catwalk are paid on average after 8 to 12 months, and the agency reserves the right to postpone payments. The terms of the kids division contain an exclusivity clause. We show this on the agency's profile too, so that you know before you apply.
In the catalogue the agency is listed on the pages women, men, new faces, commercial, talent and kids.

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- Read on the agency's profile what we found about its payment terms, and before your first job ask when you will be paid.
- Before you sign, ask for the contract in writing and look in it for the commission, the length of the exclusivity and the payment term. In Greece you wait several months for your fees.
- Be wary of people who write in an agency's name from personal accounts and of pressure to pay at once: these are signs of a modeling scam.
- Contracts, commission, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Greece.
