SimonJA Casting Directors is a Manchester-based casting company providing talent for commercials, television and film productions.

Built on previous experience casting models and presenters, SimonJA Casting was established to bring that knowledge, network and understanding of talent into the wider creative industries.

We understand that successful casting isn't simply about finding someone who looks right for a role. It's about finding someone who can bring the brief to life, connect with an audience and work confidently in a professional production environment.

Our Background

Our experience began with casting models and presenters for a variety of creative, film and promotional projects.

That experience highlighted the importance of understanding both sides of casting: what a client needs from its talent and what performers need to understand about the opportunity.

SimonJA Casting was created to take that experience further.

Based in Manchester, we provide casting expertise across the creative industries, helping productions identify people who match the character, personality, appearance and performance requirements of each individual brief.

Why SimonJA Casting?

Every production is different. That's why we approach every casting assignment individually.

We listen to the brief, understand the creative direction and search for talent that genuinely fits the project rather than simply sending large numbers of unsuitable profiles.

Whether you're casting a 30-second commercial, independent film, television production or branded campaign, we can support your search from brief to selection.

THE SIMONJA STANDARD

Professionalism matters on both sides of every booking.

We expect our clients to provide clear briefs, agreed rates, professional working environments and respect for each model's boundaries.

Every assignment should clearly establish the nature of the work, location, hours, clothing requirements, remuneration and intended image usage before the booking takes place.

Respect. Transparency. Professionalism.

That's the SimonJA standard.
