BACK STORY
Since its origination in 1987, the FORD/Robert Black Agency has been one of the most prominent model and talent agencies in the Southwest. Sheree Hartwell purchased the agency from founder Robert Black on March 1, 2005, after being the Agency Director for 6 months. Since acquiring FORD/Robert Black Agency, Sheree has significantly expanded the agency's reach and impact. Today, she and the FORD/RBA community celebrate her 20 years of ownership and success. Under Sheree’s proprietorship, the agency has earned its reputation as an industry leader. “I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to build my career here in Arizona and cultivate a community that is making its mark in our industry not only in our local market, but globally,” Sheree shares. The agency provides a full-service model and talent agency to a diverse talent group of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and body types for print, runway, commercial print, TV/film, and voice-over work. FORD/RBA also represents expert artists for photography, hair/make-up, and wardrobe styling. Over the years, the agency has doubled its office space now located in North Scottsdale and the tenure of staff now totals over 75 years of experience amongst the team. The agency has also grown its roster to over 500 signed talent, and added new divisions including Kids, Hair/Makeup/Wardrobe, Families, and Social Media Influencers.
