We believe the best is yet to come.
Age is no longer a barrier to an active mid-life career. Here at Salt & Pepper Models we actively encourage creativity in later life. Staying engaged and mentally sharp is as important as staying physically fit and active. With maturity, often comes the freedom to find new purpose and pursuits, to try new things. It’s great for self esteem and positive mental health.
We live in an ageing population and that the mid life & later life markets are lucrative for advertisers, so we believe that using age-appropriate (and inappropriate) models in a well-thought through marketing campaign is a great way for brands to engage.
We match seasoned and purposeful models with clients who have purposeful and sustainable brands to nurture and grow.
Salt & Pepper Models has sustainable business practice at its heart.
As practitioners of low impact living, the team at Salt & Pepper Models have an ambition to drive the localisation of modelling - matching local people with local clients to cut down on travel and reduce carbon. The team seek to work with likeminded clients, agencies and creatives who have Environmental & Social Governance policies in place and to support them with their sustainability ambitions. Our co-founder Johanna has recently been certified Carbon Literate as part of the Carbon Literacy Project by the Carbon Literacy Trust.
Salt & Pepper Models is a diverse and inclusive community.
Here you will find a ‘library of people’ and as a local organisation we aim to be as reflective of the local community as possible. As such, we invite people from all backgrounds and of all shapes and sizes to apply. Whether you have tall or short, curvy or sculpted, young in years or young at heart, you are welcome. We aim to represent a rainbow of real people that reflect the community in which we work.
Meet the co-founders.
Working as a model, Gregg realised that there must be a more sustainable way to do things. The industry can be very wasteful. Having travelled cross country, both the time spent and carbon footprint involved seemed to make little sense. He also came to modelling later in life and has experienced first hand the benefits of having a creative outlet for balance and personal wellbeing.
Johanna is a professional marketer, with many years experience both working in advertising agencies and client-side. With a particular interest in the power of digital marketing to help brands tell their brand story, she also has a marketing consultancy business through which she supports business owners with their marketing strategies and SME’s with both individual campaigns and ongoing marketing support.
With Johanna a certified mental health first aider, and Gregg an ambassador for positive mental health in his role as a sixth form tutor and coach, they are keen to combine their complimentary skills to help others find purpose and wellbeing through creativity in later life.
Low impact living, health & wellness and commercial sustainability are the pillars which support their venture. Welcome to Salt & Pepper Models is a place where models are matched with likeminded clients and creative services are supplied to help bring brand stories to life.
