Hire model staff
in Long Island City.
Tier-2 talent with the look, poise, and on-camera experience needed for luxury, fashion, and high-visibility activations.
Manhattan is the busiest single brand market in the country. Three engines in parallel: the Javits Center trade-show calendar (NRF Big Show, NY NOW, ICFF, NYCC), the financial-services corporate axis (FiDi up through Park Avenue), and the Fashion Week / retail flagship corridor (Soho, Fifth Avenue, Hudson Yards, Meatpacking). Outside Manhattan we cover Brooklyn (Williamsburg / DUMBO / Barclays / Industry City), Queens (Citi Field, USTA Billie Jean King for the US Open, LIC waterfront), and the Bronx (Yankee Stadium). NYC roster is built for on-camera stakes — working actors, Equity hosts, runway-experienced models, about 50% bilingual or trilingual talent. All staff are 100% W-2 and NY Department of Labor compliant.
Showcraft serves Long Island City and the surrounding NY area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Long Island City (LIC) is Manhattan-adjacent waterfront Queens — one subway stop from Grand Central, operationally part of our Manhattan dispatch, and increasingly home to media-and-tech corporate campuses (JetBlue HQ, MoMA PS1, the Citigroup tower). The Hunter's Point South / Gantry State Park waterfront drives a heavy summer brand-activation calendar, and the LIC warehouse-format venues anchor a real experiential pop-up run. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for Gantry Park activations, hospitality crews for MoMA PS1 Warm Up summer series and gallery events, demo teams for JetBlue HQ partner days, and warehouse-pop-up crews for LIC creative venues. Bilingual EN/ES with strong Mandarin coverage. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Long Island City buyers ask about model staff.
What's a 'model staff' booking at a Showcraft Long Island City activation?+
Tier-2 talent with modeling, on-camera, and high-polish experience for luxury launches, fashion week, automotive reveals, beauty activations, and any brand moment where appearance carries the impression. Every Long Island City model staffer is W-2, briefed on your run-of-show, and works the activation under a Showcraft captain.
Are your Long Island City model staff comfortable on camera and on step-and-repeat?+
Yes — that's the screen. Our Long Island City model roster comes from print, commercial, and digital content backgrounds. They know how to hit a mark, hold a pose, smile under flash, and represent your brand cleanly across photo and video capture during the activation.
Are your Long Island City model staff W-2 employees?+
Yes. Every Showcraft model staffer working in Long Island City is a W-2 employee with payroll, workers' comp, and general liability coverage. COIs are issued naming your venue and additional insureds. In California, our payroll is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
How early do I need to book model staff for a Long Island City luxury activation?+
For luxury and fashion bookings in New York City, 2-3 weeks of lead time is ideal so we can match the look brief and run a fitting if wardrobe is provided. Standard fill is 7-10 days. Rush bookings are possible with a surcharge but selectivity drops as lead time shrinks.
