Introduction: Your Comp Card Is Your Professional Business Card

What Is a Comp Card?

A Comp Card, short for Composite Card, is a standardized promotional tool used by models worldwide. Think of it as a professional business card designed specifically for the modeling and casting industry. Its purpose is simple but powerful:To allow casting directors, agencies, and clients to quickly evaluate whether you fit a job—within seconds. A strong Comp Card clearly shows:

• Your facial features
• Body proportions
• Camera presence
• Market suitability

Why Comp Cards Matter So Much in Thailand?

Thailand’s fashion and advertising industries are booming. Brands are constantly casting for:

• Print advertisements
• TV commercials (TVCs)
• Music videos and series
• Instagram, TikTok, and influencer campaigns

Most castings now happen digitally via Line, WhatsApp, or email. That means your digital Comp Card is often the first—and sometimes only—thing a client sees. If your Comp Card doesn’t look professional or aligned with Thai market standards, you may never get a callback.
