About Nico

Nico Losado Middleton is the Founder and Creative Director of BRI’GEID Agency, an internationally focused talent agency dedicated to discovering, developing, and positioning emerging models and creatives for long term success.

After beginning his career within the creative industry, Nico identified a gap in how new talent was being supported. He built BRI’GEID with a clear mission: to provide hands on development, strategic placement, and genuine advocacy for talent from diverse backgrounds. Since launching the agency, he has scouted and guided models from early discovery to professional placement across major markets.

Nico’s expertise goes beyond signing talent. He understands what agencies look for, how development truly works, and what separates a hobbyist from a professional. From portfolio direction and mother agency relationships to international placements and long term brand positioning, his guidance is grounded in real operational experience.

As a mentor, Nico offers direct, actionable insight into how the modeling and creative industries actually function behind the scenes. He helps emerging talent avoid common mistakes, approach agencies strategically, and build careers with structure rather than guesswork.
