Inclusive Modeling Agency Europe
Championing Disabled, Visibly Different, Non-Binary, and Trans Models
Zebedee aims to change the way disability, visible difference, and gender identity are portrayed in fashion and wider media.
“Disability is often left out of the diversity debate; we often receive briefs looking for ‘diversity’, but with no mention of disability, alternative appearances, or trans/non-binary – and we want to change this. We want it to be the norm that REAL diverse media becomes commonplace.”
- Laura Winson & Zoe Proctor, Founders
Zebedee was established by co-founders Laura and Zoe in 2017 with a passion for diversity. Today we are the world's leading inclusive talent agency, representing models and actors with disabilities, visible differences, non-binary identities, and transgender identities in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia, and Japan. We work with talent all across Europe, with central hubs located in Paris, France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, and Spain. Our pool of European models, actors, and creatives is constantly expanding, giving you access to unique and showstopping talent so that you can create campaigns that break through the noise.
We Partner With Brands Wanting to Make a Difference
Big or small, our perfect partners are brands and casting directors who understand the importance of making their marketing campaigns and shows more inclusive and address the staggering underrepresentation in the advertising and media industry.
We are already working with some of the world’s most iconic brands – including Gucci, Burberry, Mercedes, Vogue, Estee Lauder, Disney, The BBC and HBO, and we’d love for you to join them on our collective journey towards more diverse casting.
There is still much to do, but with your help, we can continue to bring balance to the industry – one inclusive casting at a time.
Work With Europe’s Leading Inclusive Talent Agency
Our talent is different – and so are we.
Choosing Zebedee Talent means access to Europe's most diverse talent pool as well as a wide range of creative campaign resources. We believe in promoting community, confidence, and education, and our commitment to our models goes above and beyond the typical talent agent.
As the leading inclusive talent agency in Europe, we regularly put on events aimed at developing both life and professional skills for our network, and we support our talent with the utmost compassion and understanding – something we expect from our clients too.
While we are conscious of the challenges facing our talent, we are also aware that this may be your first time working with our innovative models.
While some models may require a bit more attention and planning before a shoot, we will work with you to make sure that everything runs smoothly, offering webinars and resources to help you understand every aspect of disability, difference, and gender, so that you also feel as comfortable as our models feel in front of the camera.
Despite any reservations or preconceptions, working with diverse talent is an incredibly rewarding experience for everyone involved, and for the wider viewing public once your campaign is ultimately released.
DIVERSITY BEHIND THE CAMERA
We encourage our clients to consider diversity, both in front and behind the camera. Speak to us about our talented photographers, hair and make-up artists, videographers, stylists, producers, directors and more.
CONSULTANCY
Our consultancy team can help you ensure your spaces and projects are inclusive too – offering training, guest speakers, and workplace, culture and policy reviews.
We can also offer support during the creative process, checking the stories you tell are sensitive and authentic – plus our access coordinators can help during casting and shoots, ensuring everyone’s needs are properly catered for.
