Meredith Model Management opened its doors in 1977 in Wayne, New Jersey under the direction of Joyce Meredith, a Minneapolis girl who began modeling at the age of fourteen before continuing her career in the East. Meredith Model Management, which Joyce began out of her home, went on to become one of the most respected agencies on the East Coast. The agency philosophy was based on what Joyce cares about most — integrity, perseverance and compassion. These qualities aided many aspiring models to succeed in their careers. In 1987 Joyce set a precedent by winning a lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Labor to guarantee models the right to be independent contractors, ensuring that they would always be free to work with the agency of their choice. Joyce remains active in major contract negotiations and serves as a consultant for both the New Jersey and Minneapolis offices.

In March of 1991, Stacy Meredith left her career in advertising and photography in New York City and opened a second office, Meredith Model & Talent in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her goal has been to continue her mother’s tradition of leadership by providing superior quality and professional service, while maintaining the highest ethical standards. Meredith is a SAG/AFTRA talent agency currently representing over 1,000 models and actors ranging from infants to the seniors. As a full service commercial agency, Meredith works with clients both locally and nationwide, to provide talent for print advertising, film, TV, radio and fashion assignments.
