S.I.M. In the News
Models for Gilbert agency discovered during mall contest
by Betty Reid - Jun. 16, 2009 12:41 PMThe Arizona Republic
Expect to see their faces in north Valley advertising campaigns this year. They are the winners from a model search called The Shops at Norterra's Next Top Model, a contest in March at the high-end mall at 2460 W. Happy Valley Road. About 24 winners were chosen from 400 contestants.
Four of those models won a one-year contract with S.I.M. Agency, a Gilbert-based firm that represents models for fashion, print, catalog, runway, TV, voiceover and film. Chris Chocholousek, 21, Trevor Daniels, 9, and Patty Hart, 44, all of north Phoenix, and Paul Bartal of Glendale can expect to see their faces in high-end retail ads.
Hart, who brought along her 12-year-old daughter, signed up on a whim."It was a nice surprise (to win)," Hart, 44, said. "It's just nice at this age in life to have someone see that you have that kind of potential to model." Hart said she has yet to sign the contract. While she's excited about the opportunity, she worries about the schedule because she has a full-time job at Starbucks and cares for her daughter.
Bartal, 17, received the call from the agency in April. He's was surprised because the job market in Arizona is tight and a 12-month contract with an agency is rare. The agency connects the models to jobs. Bartal is eager to get started. "It's pretty big and it's good for me," said the teenager, who aspires to be a businessman and previously modeled for Kohl's in 2007.
The 20 winners received a $75 gift certificate and copies of their photographs.
The local response for entries was overwhelming, said Stephanie Case, The mall's marketing director.
"It was really difficult to narrow down the finalists, because there were so many fantastic, unique looks and personalities," Case said. "Featuring actual Norterra shoppers in the center's advertising is a fun way to involve the community in the excitement happening at Norterra."
