An interesting quote from Julian Michon, Director of New Faces at Models 1:

“Scouting for new models used to involve hanging around shopping centres and airports. Now the best talent is online.

“The modelling industry is moving very fast, competition is very high. When we came across Islandoo, we were blown away! The site allows us to see a lot of people quickly. It means we are more likely to find the next superstar.”

Other news:

  • At Mint HQ, the consensus is that Say Everything is one of the best articles on social media we’ve read for a while:

    “As younger people reveal their private lives on the Internet, the older generation looks on with alarm and misapprehension not seen since the early days of rock and roll. The future belongs to the uninhibited.”

  • A new version of the BloomBox website is now live, designed by new Mint recruit Tom Harman. Welcome, Tom!
