What is LÜK?

Expand
LÜK is the easiest way to book agency-represented talent. LÜK allows you to see a diverse range of talent from 150+ agencies in one package, with only one point of contact. How does it work? You’re assigned a personal booking specialist (a real person) that works with you from start to finish and handles castings, availability checks, digital/polaroid requests, and streamlines your billing so you don’t have to.
LÜK is a time saver for anyone who books models at fashion brands, beauty brands, creative agencies, and production companies. LÜK is used by content producers, art directors, and creative directors from brands like Saks Fifth Avenue, Estée Lauder, and Lululemon.
On average, LÜK saves clients 15 hours per shoot! Some clients say LÜK saves them 'days worth of work'. LÜK combines the human touch of a personal booking specialist with the speed of technology to create the ultimate booking experience.
LÜK works with top modeling agencies in every major city across the US, with major hubs in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, Portland, and Dallas.
Our services vary according to the type of client, whether production company, brand, or casting agency. Book a demo with us today to see which pricing structure works best for your needs.
The difference between LÜK and a casting agency is that we don’t make selects for you. LÜK simply provides you with every talent option from major talent agencies in one package. You have complete creative control of your selects, and we’re here to help every step of the way.
We are not a modeling agency and do not represent any talent, but we work directly with 150+ agencies to provide you with diverse, professional talent.
LÜK works with over 150 talent agencies (from the biggest agencies to the smaller boutique agencies) to give you access to the most diverse range of talent, anywhere. Leave no stone unturned! 🕵️‍♀️
