Pros

  • No application fees 
  • Easy application process

Cons

  • Limited responses 

Neil Jou Agency is known among its clients for evaluating its models and anyone interested in partnering with its company through digital networking, keeping up with today’s modern world. 

It’s worth noting, though, that models who have worked with Neil Jou Agency advised us not to make any phone calls. Because there’s a 99% chance Neil Jou Agency won’t respond. 

Regardless, various models we spoke with expressed that they appreciated that there was no cost to apply with Neil Jou Agency. Instead, Neil Jou Agency judges their models solely based on their portfolios and talents. 

In addition, the clients of Neil Jou Agency we talked to raved about how driven the entire team at Neil Jou Agency is. Many clients also commented on how their visions have come to life since employing the modeling services Neil Jou Agency provides. 

We can say these claims are valid from our observations of Neil Jou Agency. 

Due to their excellent selection of talent-making services, we noted that Neil Jou Agency has the ability to make any client project a success. Indeed, it’s a one-stop source for any business project needing professional models. 

The entire process was a breeze, from the first discovery call to the execution of business projects. 

Everyone we communicated with was responsive and attentive to all our questions and needs. Not to mention the positive atmosphere that influenced the smiles we saw all around us. 

Moreover, we noted that all the models were professional and did whatever they could to contribute to making their projects successful. 

Unfortunately, due to high demand, Neil Jou Agency doesn’t reach out to work with everyone.

Cons

  • Limited information on modeling
  • Website is a bit messy

Independent AV & Video, Inc. is an audio visual consultant company that offers different services.

Their services include streaming, consulting, production, basic AV, video and recording, and integration.

We like that they can help with everything involving audio visuals. From helping professionalize the process of creating an event, project management, conveying your message, simple videos, and more.

With every service they offer, satisfaction is guaranteed!

However, they lack information on their modeling agency services, so this is something we hope they placed more content on.

We also find their website to be a bit messy.
