Press Release

 No monkeying around- Cheeky Monkeys means business!!

A new agency on the lookout for fresh new faces and talent has been launched today.

Cheeky Monkey Models aims to be a children’s modelling agency with a difference- providing a first class standard of models who are the ultimate professionals taking their work really seriously, whilst having a great time doing it!

Dione said;

"Having worked in the photographic and casting business for nearly 15 years now, I know exactly what a client wants. I have carried out work for some major names in the UK and loved doing it, and I decided it was time to branch out on my own.

But as Dione makes clear, kids that are just being encouraged to model by "pushy" parents need not apply.

She continues;

"I want my cheeky monkeys to see their castings and jobs as fun. Of course I expect them to be the ultimate professionals, but I don’t want to have any kids on my books that don’t want to be there- in the past I have been saddened watching parents bring children to shoots that clearly don’t want to be there, that’s not going to happen at Cheeky Monkeys- they will have so much fun they’ll be desperate to come back for more!"

Based in West London, Dione wants models on her books that represent the London of today- from babies to teenagers and from all ethnicities so that she can be sure she can provide her clients with exactly what they want.

Dione concludes;

"I am a real London girl. I love the fashion, the music and the culture of the place. I want that to be represented in my agency- so am looking for kids from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures to get on my books- its about time we saw in advertising and TV what we see on the streets of our towns and cities.

From casting to catwalk I really hope we can make Cheeky Monkeys the agency that people come to if they want fun, diversity and the best models in town."
