EXECUTIVES
Dani Bongiorno
Co-Founder And Director
Dani Bongiorno began her career in the fashion industry in the mid 1990’s, launching her first agency. After some years of hard work and determination, working amongst very well-respected individuals in the industry and reaching a level of success, she was offered the opportunity to join Major Model Management, a well-established top ten modeling agency and accepted her position as president. During her ten years there, the agency progressed to establish a stellar reputation and significant profitability, while representing some well-known names to include Channing Tatum, who continue to be relevant today.
Looking to expand and add to her experience, due to her love of the arts and the creative process itself in the marketing arena, Dani made the lateral move to team up with photographer, Jacob Getz, who over the development of his career assisted well-known photographers, such as Francesco Scavullo and Irving Penn, amongst others. Over the years she worked with Jacob, who had already made his mark in the fashion industry, Dani represented him as his agent and took on the roles of studio manager, producer, and casting director for the projects she procured for him in the beauty and fashion realms of advertising. Dani still considers herself blessed to have had the opportunity to work with some of the best art and creative directors in highly reputable ad agencies during her term with Jacob Getz and Getz Media and solidify a very well-rounded skill set to grow toward being her best self in the arts and entertainment industry.
Thereafter, some years later, and having accumulated a broader spectrum of experience, Dani found herself longing to get back to the role of manager, which ultimately became a part of her identity. As an individual with immense heart and a profound admiration for individuals and their unique appearances, qualities, and talent, she thoroughly loved pushing the individuals she represented to their fullest potential with unrelenting resolve to explore all of their options in marketing for a long-term, fulfilling career. Dani returned to the modeling agency side of the industry and over the next 15 years contributed her talents and well-developed client relationships in top-tier roles to agencies that were looking to expand and grow – during that time, ultimately developing the careers of models such as Alton Mason, whom you will recognize as a top entity today, and many other noteworthy individuals across multiple genres. She continues on in her last chapter as co-founder, owner, and director of FAME Management and is looking forward to championing its rise to the top while doing what she loves, which is to support and empower talent to be at their best and motivate them to be a powerful influence in the public sphere.
