Registered in 2009 to promote models, characters and kids to the media industries. Playback Media concentrates on new models as well as the more talented individuals and is always looking for that new “IT-Style” individual that might just be the next hottest up and coming artist/entertainer/actor/model.
Playback Media supplies Models, Characters, Talents and Kids to the advertising industries for television commercials, runway projects, films, media advertising and brochures. Playback Media completed their first season with some inspiring successes. Completing over 62 projects. We are however continuously competing with other agencies who are much better situated for casting calls/auditions, and none the less, we’ve proven to the industry in our first season that our talents are fully committed and determined to be a part of our media and advertising sectors. Therefore, leaving our first footprints in the industry.
We at Playback Media also wouldn’t have been able to achieve our current success without the commitments our amazing talents have made to our industries …..WE THANK ALL OF OUR TALENTS(AND THEIR PARENTS) WHO MADE OUR FIRST SEASON POSSIBLE, AND WHO SUPPORTS OUR GOALS AND VISSION.
Playback Media Commits to all our talents equally by following these principles:
1. Finding new productions to supply artists to
2. Negotiating the best rates where possible
3. Sending you to auditions: This takes a lot of effort going through the briefs & requirements from Casting Directors. We search our database for candidates fitting the description of the brief, then go through each individual profile to make sure the database was correct in the selection. We then notify you of the audition.
4. Sending your picture on a continuous basis to our clients and casting directors who require extras, models or artists for their print/advertising/tv campaign or for a bit part/featured part on local soaps. We make sure that all candidates get equal opportunity to be selected by clients. Once the client has made a selection, we then have to find out about availability of our artists.
5. Signing Contracts: Once the artist, model or extra is selected for the tv or print ad, and availability is confirmed, a contract is sent to us stipulating shoot dates, fees etc of which we will read through and make sure the contract complies with the laws of the film industry. We then sign the contract on your behalf.
6. Liaising with Clients
7. Liaising with Wardrobe departments.
8. Liaising with coordinators to get correct info and sign in/time sheets
9. Invoicing
10. Following up on outstanding money – all to our expense
11. Handing over accounts for collection if not paid - our expense
12. Generating pay sheets once money has been received
13. Paying artists
14. Updating our database regularly
15. Dealing with thousands of queries, artists & clients each day in a professional manner, as all aspects of our business are important.
16. Improving our Agency
Playback Media also offer all our talents extra workshops and coaching of Stage Performances, Drama and Photographic courses, script training and development, for all writers and talents. Playback Media has forged a strong relationship and bond with schools in the region and focus on developing our youth to achieve their own great potentials and discover their interests and talents.
We at Playback Media believe that you can create and achieve any of your dreams, by being committed, dedicated, loyal, honest and determined. Also, a little hard work never hurt anyone, and combined with all the above mentioned attributes, there simply is no way you shouldn't be able to achieve just about anything you want.
The Playback Media Team also strive to be better and more successful at what we do all the time, doing whatever we can to achieve this success. Without our talents SUCCESS there will be no SUCCESS for us, therefore urging us to work harder at moulding our talent into true professionals. After all your SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS.
We liaise with clients from all over the globe, not just locally and our talents are well briefed on behavioural commitments and rules. Should any talent not follow these rules, the immediate action would be to terminate their activation on our books and they would be blacklisted throughout the industry.
