If you're good and interesting, the marketers will come to you and build a brand wherever you are in the US.

Now, if you want to get deeper into media, like producing tv shows and movies, it certainly helps to be in LA so you can mingle with that media crowd... sorta like being in San Francisco is great for Durant's venture capital efforts.

But if you're just going to do a couple photoshoots or commercials a year, they'll come to you or you can fly out to LA or NY when you need to.
