Ivy,

It would be a stretch to judge TCT by their ability to place models in the Old Spice promo. Nearly every agency of any size in America was able to place models for that event. It was much larger than 50 college campuses. You mentioned "training" in Chicago....training for what? Before you answer Ivy, you should know that IndyModels placed 22 models for the Old Spice Promo...

TCT is the former Options, which is the former eModels. Their business model doesn't appear to have changed much as the entity has evolved. I believe there is sufficient evidence to conclude that no one has "jumped on the bandwagon" in error. As I stated earlier, I placed 22 models in the Old Spice Promo....22 models who didn't pay a dime to be placed. Can you say the same for TCT? Do you know the percentage of people who pay TCT money who receive work? Do you know how many ever make as much money as they paid TCT?

If you are happy with your experience, that is very good for you. I suspect the majority would have a different opinion.

Regards.

P.S. For those with a long memory in this business, the model is Heather Pariso.
