Jaime Rose, Founder and CEO

Founded by industry expert, Jaime Rose, we are a model and talent agency based in Kingston, Jamaica; specializing in commercial advertising, events and promotions, and fashion. To our current and future clients, rest assured; our models come from very diverse backgrounds, and satisfy a variety of casting needs. To our future models, we are earnestly waiting to have you join the 16MM family! Here at 16MM we believe in Agency, Modeling, and Fashion!
Many new models ask the question, “What IS a modeling agency?” Simply put, an agency is the liaison between the Talent and the Client. More than a “middle guy,” we serve both clients by finding and providing great models; and models by finding them assignments from great clients. Our agency has many years of experience in scouting models for the next generation. The number one consideration that goes into scouting models, is to determine who has the potential to do well in the current industry. As the industry is constantly changing, aspiring models should keep in mind, so does industry needs. What is sought after today, may not be tomorrow, and tomorrow’s supermodel might not be desired today. This is the reality of being on the cutting edge.
When the agency model is hired for an assignment, you should expect the following to be standard:
Assignment contract signed by the client and the agent acting on behalf of the talent.
Assignment duties and requirements.
Assignment Times such as: Show Time, Call Time, Time on set, Knockoff Time.
Assignment Compensation. (For industry trade assignments, an assignment agreement is expected.)
Now that we’ve discussed the purpose of an agency, and what we can do for you, let me go further in what we offer to our models and talent. Our belief that the purpose of the model is to make the client’s creation come alive. Whether it’s a designer at a fashion show, or a beverage company in an advertisement, the model helps the client market its product and/or service. We take pride in our continuous grooming of our models from fresh faces, to more seasoned talent.
Lastly, we’ll discuss our commitment to fashion. A majority of our models and talent support the fashion industry. Whether it is in clothing, accessories, or live events, they are ready for most any challenge.
Often, we learn there is quite a difference between meeting the requirements and being qualified. Meeting the requirements is more on the objective side, and can easily be quantified based on age, height, size, and other statistics. But being qualified has to do with the intangibles; state of mind, physical and mental health, and simply put, attitude!
