Founding background

DOMOTE was founded in 2008 in Hong Kong. After working at a boutique talent agency during university, the founder set out to build his own — a place to help others enter modelling and follow his passion into the industry. With limited business experience but no shortage of conviction, he persevered through the early grind, won early clients, and built a roster of quality talent in short order.

DOMOTE works at the edge of fashion and entertainment across Greater China. We supply male and female models for fashion magazines, catalogue shoots, TV commercials, runway shows, and brand events. Our brief: pair fashion resources with the right client connections, and bring our models to a global audience.

The Hong Kong office operated as Galaxy Network Media Company Limited; mainland China business ran through Galaxy Network Communication Company Limited, primarily out of Wuhan. The two were the same brand registered in different jurisdictions. Operations wound down after 2011.

Industry: arts / film / culture. At its peak, the roster held 2,000+ active models and 8,000+ profiles on file, plus long-term partnerships with 50+ photographers across the country.
