STELLA · Michigan
Michigan Modeling & Commercial Talent
Detroit built the American automotive advertising industry, and that heritage still drives serious casting spend — dealership campaigns, auto-show activations and national vehicle launches all shoot in and around the city. STELLA represents Michigan talent for that pipeline and everything the state casts beyond it.
Grand Rapids furniture and consumer brands, Ann Arbor's university market, and Traverse City's tourism season round out a state that has more working faces in it than its automotive reputation alone would suggest.
Michigan Boards We Cast
Automotive & Dealership
From national launch campaigns to regional dealership advertising, the automotive industry remains Michigan's signature casting client. We field commercial talent trained for that specific brief.
Retail & Consumer Brands
Grand Rapids' furniture and consumer-goods companies commission steady catalog and lifestyle content. Our retail board is built for their volume and their deadlines.
Tourism & Lakes
Traverse City wine country and the state's Great Lakes coastline drive a warm-weather tourism casting season. We cast the boating, orchard and small-town faces those campaigns want.
Why Michigan Clients Book STELLA
Automotive-Grade Reliability
Auto-industry shoots run on strict timelines and brand guidelines. Our talent arrive briefed and on schedule, because a launch date does not move for a late call time.
Beyond the D
Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor get scouted as seriously as Detroit. A statewide roster means clients aren't stuck flying faces in for work happening two hours away.
Season-Smart Tourism Casting
We book Traverse City and lakeshore campaigns ahead of the short Michigan summer, when tourism advertisers need every available week of usable light.
