I had a deeply concerning experience with Jake, and I feel compelled to share it to help others make an informed decision before working with him. Initially, Jake seemed enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and encouraging, which led me to believe this could be a great opportunity. However, as our interactions progressed, several red flags emerged that ultimately led me to discontinue pursuing representation with him. Unprofessional Boundaries: Jake took offense when I exercised due diligence by asking questions about a contract--a basic and necessary step for any professional. Instead of addressing my concerns objectively, he responded emotionally, making it difficult to have constructive dialogue. Dismissive and Contradictory Behavior: He made comments like "you're overthinking it" when I raised valid concerns and suggested that no one would compete to represent me in my city, which felt discouraging and undermining. At the same time, he emphasized how much time he had "voluntarily" spent with me, which came across as manipulative, consider I never ever asked for him to spent a moment with me, that was his choice. Gaslighting and Personal Attacks: After I professionally and respectfully declined representation, he responded with multiple emails that included manipulative language, attempts to guilt me, and even personal attacks. This included sending unsolicited articles to my email late at night and framing me as "the bully" for simply making a professional decision. Lack of Emotional Objectivity: Jake blurred personal and professional lines, frequently referencing his emotions and even his religious beliefs in an attempt to frame himself as a victim. This behavior felt unprofessional and inappropriate in a business relationship. While Jake may have years of experience, my experience showed a lack of professionalism, objectivity, and respect for potential clients. I would strongly encourage anyone considering working with him to approach with caution and ensure you are treated with respect and professionalism. There are plenty of agents and agencies out there who will work collaboratively and supportively to help you achieve your goals. read more

This business isn't for everyone to get into, and if you don't have the drive and talent - you won't get far with ANY agency. Wings is the real deal and Jake is the most altruistic man I've ever had the pleasure to meet. You see people on TV, in film and in magazines everyday and guess where some of the most successful ones started..? - Wings Model Management in Cincinnati Ohio.

Also, the work doesn't get done by itself... it's takes a man with a huge heart and ineffable ability to take on SO much responsibility. That man is Jake.

Wings is a great place to bring your child if they are interested in acting/modeling and you want someone who really cares about their development. Jake has worked with my daughter for 3 years now, she's appeared in a commercial, and in a tv series and has amazing representation in LAbecause of him (manager and two agencies for commercial/theatrical who are the top in the country) and she's only 7! Jake has been with us every step of the way and even encouraged us to hold out for better agencies when he didn't think the first offer was the right fit for our child. He cares about these kids and many of them he invests years in coaching before there is any development. Agents are busy people and some parents have very unrealistic expectations about what they should be getting out of it and how little they put in. The entertainment industry is brutal, and this is like any other opportunity, it takes hard work and the commitment of the parents as well as a true love of it by the child to make it a success. Jake, however, is amazing and believes in the people he signs. read more

Jake is the best! He works tirelessly for your kids, brings in talent scouts, holds weekly classes to improve your kid's talents and genuinely cares for them and their careers. Please don't let the star reviews sway your opinion. Everything costs money. You wouldn't send your son out into the football field without protective equipment, shoes, a helmet. You wouldn't sign your daughter up for a dance competition and not get her dance lessons and an outfit. It absolutely puzzles me why people think modeling and acting are any different. You can't expect not to buy pictures, clothes, and classes. You are paying for his expertise and knowledge of the industry. Many parents wouldn't think twice about paying for private lessons to give their kid a competitive edge for a sport tryout, but with modeling/acting, people want to pout. Jake and his staff are selfless, working 2 & 3 week's straight with no day off. He is so very well respected in the industry and produces top talent, but he can't do it alone. The kids (or adults) have to put in the work too. read more

For a while I had wanted to get my child into modeling, and I knew when I was actually going to DO something about it, I knew I was going to go to Jake at Wings. An acquaintance of mine recommended Wings to me, and I knew from another friend that Jake and Wings had a great reputation. So with Wings I went, and I do NOT regret that decision. Jake is one of the select agencies across the United States that can get you or your child to Expo held twice a year in Dallas, Texas. If you are serious about modeling/acting, you definitely want to go to Expo for the experience and knowledge you will gain there. Jake is the only agency in the Greater Cincinnati area that can get you to Expo. He is an excellent photographer and I cannot speak highly enough about the photos he took of my child! My child has had great success thus far, and I know his future is bright, and his foundation was laid by Wings Model Management. I would highly recommend Jake and Wings to anyone or any parent out there who wants to enter this modeling and acting arena. read more

My son has been with Wings for almost 2 years now and we have had the best experience. The staff at Wings has always been so wonderful to work with. Jake has always been available for the talent or parents to answer their question and guide them along the way in their careers. My son has had the opportunity to travel, and has booked multiple print jobs and commercials. He has had the chance to work with well established actors, managers, agents and acting coaches, that Jake has arranged to fly into Cincinnati. This gives the talent the chance to have a variety of acting classes right here in Cincinnati, which is always an incredible experience for them. If you, or your son or daughter have an interest in in acting or modeling, then I would highly recommend Wings!!! read more

I am so happy we found Jake Lang and Wings Model Management! Jake continues to work hard for my daughter so she can pursue her goals. Jake and his staff work tirelessly for my daughter so she is able to meet agents from LA to NY, and everywhere in between, as she pursues her career. And image my shock when I learned there was no up front cost, and Jake only makes money when we make money! Have we spent money? Of course we have, just like we have for sports travel teams...the costs are comparable. BUT we choose when and how we spend that money, as it is not mandatory fees that must be paid up front. Our family will always be grateful for Jake and the opportunities he has provided. He continues to work hard to help every single talent he has to reach his/her goals. read more

Having spent some time with Jake and working with him, I have had a lot of fun. I do not want to downplay his hard work and kindness, so when I use the word fun, I mean it with more seriousness than text would have you believe. Also, fun can be applied to many things. Acting classes and shoots to just regular conversations. He and his company are a real bright spot for me and I believe a lot of others. I hope that I now and in the future will return the favor. Thank you Jake. read more
