Launch Showcase 2008

2008 has started out as a great new year and I am excited for what will happen next. Last year was a slower year in the commercial/print industry (in Fargo) and 2008 has already promised to be a better year. With some new opportunities and clients coming into the Ultimate Family, I am excited for what we will have to offer this next year.

Ultimate is a "boutique" style company, managing and consulting talent across the Upper Midwest. My focus is to take time for talent/models WANTING to WORK in the industry. I spend extra time on the talent who are ready (or preparing to get ready) to make the big leap and become a TRUE PROFESSIONAL in this industry.

I am ready to take on talent who are looking for a "hobby" and have staff to prepare them and get them ready to make any professional commitment to this industry.

Looking forward to a great new year and producing some successful talent!
