Ignite Models Inc. was founded by two models who recognized two basic truths: Models deserve to be treated fairly, and many designers struggle to put on their own events. Jessica Cunningham and Allison Hamzehpour joined in 2006 to form an entertainment and production company that grew to include model management. Always dedicated to the advancement of models, the pair launched innovative, high fashion runway events that quickly took Minneapolis by storm. Collaboration with leading photographers, designers, hair and makeup artists, dancers and musicians created breathtaking events that sold out every time. All while focusing on what was best for each model. Today Ignite Models Inc. offers comprehensive model management services, and is proud to be a non-exclusive agency, available to models who may have representation elsewhere. Jessica and Allison credit their success to a new style and vision, and all the models who guided the company to its unmatched reputation within the industry.
