Tags

At least three tags required for each profile.  See Tag List for recommendations.

We may be adding additional profile types as the site calls for it.  You are welcome to make suggestions on the feedback tab.

No Managed Profiles

In the spirit of keeping things real…..we do not allow managed profiles.  Do not create a profile for anyone other than yourself.   Model managers or agencies can designate the model members that they work with but are not allowed to set up or manage their profiles. 

Age Requirement

Members must be 16 years of age or older.  Members under 18 are not allowed to display photos that are sexual in nature, revealing or overly provocative.  Nudity is not allowed on this site.

Photo Submission/Maintenance

All profiles must have at least (5) photos to be considered for membership.  Upon approval you are required to maintain at least five images or your account will be deactivated.  The photos must not be different variations of the same image.  We highly recommend that you use pictures that are relevant to your profile type.

Quality images only!  We are not allowing low quality images.  It is up to TE moderators to decide what is acceptable but do not submit low resolution, grainy, webcam, mirror shots or any otherwise poor quality photos.  Exceptions would include you “in action” doing what you do!  For example, a Promotional Talent may submit photos of them promoting and engaging the public.

Photo Size

Currently TE does not resize your photos.  Our photo limit is 2MB.  Unless your photos have been reduced to be smaller than this you will not be allowed to upload them.  Please consider that an ideal photo size would be 600-800 pixels on the longest side and that the quality of an image under 300 pixels will likely not be acceptable on TE.

No Pornography or Nudity

Talent Envy does not allow Nudity or Pornography on the site.   We also do not allow profiles that reference pornographic work or have links to other sites containing pornography.  If you are unclear as to what we deem to be pornography, please see our Site Rules.

No Fakes

We take copyright laws very seriously here. If your photos or profile appear to be the work of someone else, you will be denied. This includes fake tear sheets, advertisements, and magazine covers using existing trademarks.

Talent Envy reserves the right to accept or reject all profiles based. 

Additional Category Requirements

Photos

You must submit at least five professional images including:

1. Headshot – We need to see your face
2. Bodyshot – Full length body shot
3. Other – Show us what you have! 

 

Promotional Talent

Start with a Smile!

We know that promotions are all about presentation and that all great events start with a smile.  Your portfolio must have a photo of you with an ear to ear smile…..If you don’t have this on hand than you probably are not a true promotional person. 

About the Category

Promotional Talent encompasses a large group.  It includes all talent who contribute to live event & experiential marketing campaigns.  Here is a partial sample list: (Brand Ambassadors, Event Staff, Spokesperson, Promo Model, Product Specialists, Presenters, Ring Girls, Costume Characters, MC’s, Demonstrators, Field Manager, Event Manager, Tour Manager, Sign Spinner, Go Go Dancer, etc….)

Upload at least five images.  Your images do not have to be professional but should be of a good quality and show your face and body.  Start with a great headshot showing your pearly whites.  We also recommend that you upload images of you in action!

Spokesmodel

A Spokesmodel is defined as an attractive or otherwise appealing person who is hired to speak on behalf of a company or product, as in a commercial or live advertisement.  Only professional submissions will be considered in this category.

Photos

 You must submit at least five professional images including:

1. Headshot – We need to see your face and hopefully a big smile.  We recommend professional attire.
2. Bodyshot – Full length body shot

We recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction with such parties.

3. Information We Collect and How We Use It

TALENT ENVY collects certain information from and about its users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.

When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:

• Your Internet protocol address.
• The kind of browser or computer you use.
• Number of links you click within the site.
• State or country from which you accessed the site.

Use of Cookies

TALENT ENVY may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality..

TALENT ENVY reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into TALENTENVY.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.

Personal Information Users

Visitors to our website can register to purchase services. When you register, we will request some personal information such as name, address, email, telephone number or facsimile number, account number and other relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we will request financial information. Any financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.

We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:

• To fulfill your service requests for services.
• To protect ourselves from liability,
• To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.

Talent Envy, in some cases, will act as a facilitator to connect members with potential opportunities.  By example, if a third party places a service booking request for a website member, site moderators may work to connect both parties.

Third Party Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies use non-personally identifiable information regarding your visit to this website and other sites, such as the user IP address, pages viewed, date and time of your visit, and number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name, address, or other personal information), to serve ads to you on this site and other sites that may be of interest to you. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.

In addition, we use clear GIFs or pixel tags to help manage our online advertising. These clear GIFs enable our ad serving company to recognize a browser's cookie when a browser visits this site. This allows us to learn which banner ads bring users to our website. The information we collect and share through this technology is not personally identifiable.
