I am looking for a model from the Cincinnati (prefer west side) area to take over as the face of my amateur ATV magazine (ATV Exposed Magazine /
www.atvexposed.com). The location is only important because I need someone I can work with on a regular basis – contact and shoots should be simple and painless. But any place in the area is fine as long as your life and schedule allows us the chances to work together. I need a model I can trust to take the work serious and not break meetings. I am not a patient person with that – sorry.
This is not a consistently paid spot – I will not tell you it is. However if I get paid – so do you. I do not mind a small hourly charge (i.e. $7-$10) for your time to help cover fuel and such. But I am looking for someone to grow with my magazine. We just went to printed copies last month and our growth should continue.
Our current model (who is the blonde in my port work) now works with Monster Energy drinks and also travels with the Arena cross MX series. We cannot get together enough these days since she travels and is from Cleveland. But nearly all of her exposure came from us working together and the collective work we did. She just got done doing her third calendar (in the last 12 months) in the ATV market last month. She signed them at the Indy Dealer Expo last month as a promo girl for three companies. That is on top of several ads and posters. All paid work.
This spot will include work such as modeling our clothing lines for our online store, posters that we give away at races, shots for promo’s and various stuff in the magazine. Your face would basically become the new ‘Ms AEM’. I’m not saying we are some kind of glamour Mecca – but I will tell you we are the freshest and fastest growing name in the ATV riding/racing community and I encourage anyone interested to Google my name or the name of my magazine to get a feel for yourself. Last year we won the ‘2006 Media Excellence’ award from the AMA/GNCC Group. This year we are going after the AMA Website of the Year. And we want a face to go with the site that wants to be a part of something growing.
In addition when possible some kind of deal worked out to travel to a few races and work at the tracks promoting AEM. This part would be paid as would travel. There is also the Indy Dealer Expo each year where we have a booth that posters would need to be signed at.
The exposure rate has massive potential. Last month the poster proof on the front of the online side got 11.2 million views from all over the world. I only see that getting larger. We are not made of money, but we do have the ability to find other industry related work for the model and I am nearly always the photographer on the assignments.
If this is something you are interested in please do not hesitate to contact me. If you want to see my work in the ATV industry let me know. I can hand you a stack of magazines, show you 50+ websites and posters/calendars and other promo garb. I am finally at a loss for time trying to hunt for a model. If someone is seeking to get serious locally – here is your shot in one bag. I want someone who will not always wait for me to call. I want someone who will call or email me when they have an idea. Someone who will take five minutes and review the industry magazines I provide. I want someone who wants to be a part of something - not a lazy model.
Meeting for coffee is not an issue. Planning out shoots is not a problem. This is not some kind of TFC/CD shoot – I am offering to be a part of something ground level that is already proving that it’s growing. It’s not for everyone – but is it for you?
