I was wondering if anyone has any comments on the AdKids Agency. They are located near Peterson and Cicero in Chicago.
I received their inforamtion in the mail but haven't used them. I was wondering the same thing. Let me know what you find out.
Thanks,
Justine
We signed up with them and did not have much luck. My husband and I work full-time so it was hard to take days off on short notice. I would try to find an agency that does not require any money up front. I do not think that they are the best. Ihope this helps.
We went to an AdKids interview. During the interview we passed several selection criteria and were offered an oppertunity to sign up. The up-front cost was $630 and then they required photo sessions every 6 months at about $50. When we told them that we would like to research it for a day, our invitation was retracted. We found this odd, so we did some more research on them. This article tells a pretty grim story about the company: http://www.easybackgroundcheck.com/adkids/. We would never recommend it.
My husband and I were going to go for the heck of it... but then I was trying to find their information to get directions and found a bunch of HORRIBLE reviews about them (as well as many other kid ad agencies) so we skipped it.
I am so thankful for your reviews my daughter has an appointment with them on Saturday I guess we will be skipping it.
They stink! I gave them 500 bucks and I have not received any auditions at all,and on top of that getmy son's picture taken every 6 months! Never give anyone money again! I was a former model,not famous,for Elite back in the '80's and I shouldv'e known better! Sincerely,Connie
