Model Management Group, MMG (NYMMG) Signs America’s Next Top Model Finalist (Cycle 11) Sheena Santana and ABC's True Beauties Ashley Michaelson and Laura Leigh

New York, NY, February 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- NYMMG (Model Management Group, MMG), a New York-based modeling and talent management agency, continues its’ rapid growth by signing multi-year exclusive contracts with many of the industry’s up and coming celebrities. MMG has an unbeatable unique advantage over it’s’ competitors. Its owner and founder, Jeff Cohen, was the VP/Chief Operating Officer for two of the best production and post production companies in New York. In that capacity Cohen worked closely with the Heads of Productions of every Television Network and Advertising Agency. Cohen is best known for his innovative approach to building market share through understanding his client’s needs. Understanding how to alleviate his client’s pain allowed him to win the production and post production rights to CBS’s Olympics in Nagano Japan and the Episodic “Sex In The City,” Spin City and the Cosby Show.

The signing of Sheena Santana was another of MMG’s bold moves based on its insight and strong belief that Sheena has all the tools and popularity to be one of the best TV hosts. MMG believes Sheena will be a host people can relate to. She is stunning but approachable and speaks to the viewers in a way that they attached to her quickly and that is exactly what this industry is about and wants. Sheena is a mixture Korean and Japanese but most people would describe her as Harlem Chique. She is beautiful, witty but as real as you can get. People just love her and it the end, what the people want, is what the people get. MMG knows Sheena will succeed and already has a backlog of offers to sift through. Sheena's popularity will drive the Advertisers and TV stations to jump into the race for her time. MMG believes Sheena can be the first Asian TV Superhost, because when she conducts interviews, her fans know that she is not acting. Sheena merely speaks from the heart and reaches the hearts of others.

MMG Celebrity Division has also exclusively signed Ashley Michaelson one of the world’s most beautiful people. Starring on ABC’s True Beauty, Michaelson used the experience to refocus her career and combine her popularity with her years of training as an actress. Also, over the next two months, Ashley will be leading a group of over 28 MMG models in their fundraising efforts to fight cancer. Also, Ashley has generously agreed to auction off the dress she wore when she was eliminated and dedicate the entire proceeds to charity. Ashley is also very passionate about dedicating a substantial amount of her time to the "Make A Wish Foundation." MMG see Ashley eventually obtaining a starring role in an episodic or soap. She has the entire package, looks, brains and the dedication to her craft. Ashley is just an amazing individual and over the next few years her fans will be seeing a lot of her and MMG knows they have a True Beauty on their roster.
