Multi-million dollar mogul and serial entrepreneur Riccardo Silva announced today that MP Management has strengthened its expertise in the field of model and celebrity management, as well as its global presence, through the acquisition of Mega Model Management, Miami’s leading model management agency founded in 2001.
MP Management, established in 2008, is a fast-growing and dynamic independent modeling agency based in Milan, representing the stars of the international catwalks and the most prestigious campaigns, as well as some of the most promising new faces in the fashion business. MP Management is renowned for its ability to discover talent and aims to provide the highest quality service to all clients and a one-on-one management approach to its clients.
Mega Model Management, now known as MP Mega Miami, is the undisputed frontrunner in its market and provides the group with a structured international presence, with special emphasis in South America, where it is the leader in scouting, a fundamental sector in the search for new faces. Founder and current managing director Marcus Panthera Fonseca is a pioneer in model scouting in Brazil. Through MP Management, MP Mega Miami will be the link between Brazil and the agencies of New York and Milan. They represent talent such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Ignacio Cubeddu, Markel Berto along with other world renowned talent.
MP Management Milan and MP Mega Miami are owned by Riccardo Silva, who has been quietly making his mark on Miami since moving to the Magic City in 2008. One of his first undertakings was to open the Latin American headquarters for MP & Silva, the worldwide leader in the distribution of TV rights. Miami seemed like the most natural place to reach that market share since the firm managed and distributed the FIFA World Cup, English Football Association, English Premier League and more. He is also a part owner of one of South Beach’s trendiest hotspots right now—Cavalli, which will be re-launching its lounge soon.
