Ansleigh's Corner

A Year of Bliss

As Wilder Public Relations Firm marks its second anniversary and we move into a fresh new year, we take a moment to stop and reflect on the wonderful success of these past twelve months. We celebrate our clients and their accomplishments and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute.

In 2009, Wilder PR assisted with the launch of several new stores and lines, from +grasp+ by Asalt Eames to the AZUL Bridal Line to the C.Smit Lounge to Kira Paderborn’s “Eva” Skin. We promoted sales and hunts for clients like TOMOZOO Lomu and Potnia Theas. We publicized many wonderful fashion shows such as that put on by our friends and clients at the Narkissos Sim. Wilder Public Relations is fortunate enough to have too many clients to mention here, but we do offer our sincerest thanks and congratulations to each and every one of them: we are proud to provide the PR for your events and wish you the best of luck as we embark on 2010.

Perhaps the most frequent client of 2009 was Amutey DeCuir of Bliss Couture. In the past year, we completed five PR campaigns for Bliss Couture, all with great success. Amutey was already an up and coming designer in Second Life when she first came to us in April to promote her Spring Fashion Show. I was still pretty green at Wilder, having only started working here in March, and there was just something magical about that show. This was the first campaign I really got to work on, and, from the minute I visited the sim, I was in love. The show was a success, and I still remember my wonderment at all of the people in attendance, people I had helped get there, who were all so stunned by Amutey’s wonderful work. Little did we know at that time that this fantastic show was only the beginning of a great adventure for Wilder PR and Bliss Couture.

It was at the end of June that Amutey came to us again, this time with her concept of the Miss Bliss Couture 2010 Competition, and in early July we were proud to help her get the word out to the many ladies of Second Life about this wonderful opportunity. Again, our efforts were met with great success, and Amutey ended up with over three hundred hopefuls vying for a chance to be the face of her brand.

Amutey had been in business some time and her already healthy group membership enjoyed an influx as a result of the Miss Bliss Couture Competition. Soon, we at Wilder were happy to hear that she was planning a summer sale to celebrate a combined 10,000 members in her subscribe-o-matic and in-world groups. In late July, we were thrilled to accept her request to publicize this fantastic event. Amutey literally had people waiting to get into her sim when she temporarily closed it prior to the event. To say that this sale was a hit would be an egregious understatement. This was something for the record books, a definite high point for Wilder PR, and something not soon forgotten in Second Life. The Bliss Couture main store saw constant traffic and Amutey’s in-world group gained another 1,100 members in only the first week.

Summer turned to fall and fall to winter as Amutey went through the several phases of her Miss Bliss Couture 2010 Competition, whittling down the entries as we neared the final event and the beginning of a new year. In the blink on an eye, it was December and she came to us for PR for Bliss Couture’s 2009 Holiday Sale and Hunt. This sale was every bit as successful as the last, with Second Life’s beautiful ladies enjoying the discounts as they shopped for their winter formals and holiday ball gowns. The event was a lovely end to a great year.

This past weekend, Annette and I, along with our brand new assistant Veronica Ogleby, were happy to be in attendance at the final event for Miss Bliss Couture 2010. Over one hundred and forty people came out to see this beautiful show held at the PATCH THIBAUD AUDITORIUM. This show was truly amazing. Caymon Zhora, Bliss Couture’s general manager, and the entire Bliss Couture team ensured that the show was the best it could possibly be. As the finalists graced the runway, I felt the same pride and wonder as I did at that first show in April, and I felt truly blessed to be a part of such a fabulous event. This was Veronica’s first event with Wilder PR, and Annette and I couldn’t be prouder of how well she did. In her excitement and enthusiasm for this show, I saw a bit of myself, and I was glad that her first event was a Bliss Couture show too. We hope that this is only the first of many Veronica will attend with us.

And just as we are pleased to have Veronica as a new part of the Wilder Team, Amutey and Bliss Couture were thrilled to finally crown Miss Bliss Couture 2010, Melanie Sautereau.

Melanie shined amongst the many dazzling finalists and charmed both audience and judges alike with her confidence, poise, style, and beauty. We at Wilder Public Relations offer Melanie our most enthusiastic congratulations and cannot wait to see her represent Bliss Couture this year.

If you missed the show, you can view this breathtaking video by Sophia Yates or these pictures on Amutey's Flickr.

Though this show marked the end of a months long competition, it was also the celebration of the beginning of a bright new year for everyone at Bliss Couture. Amutey now has Melanie as the face of Bliss Couture and is looking forward to the opening of her beautiful new store, and we cannot wait to see the many new designs she is sure to show us. Amutey never ceases to amaze us with her creativity, thoughtfulness, or friendship. We are truly blessed to have her as a client and look forward to growing with her as she continues to thrive in Second Life.

We hope you find luck in all of your endeavors this coming year, and we look forward to seeing many wonderful things from our clients, but also the new and exciting things 2010 will bring. Check our blog and website regularly for updates on the new and exciting things going on at Wilder Public Relations Firm, and, as always, thank you all for supporting us: without you, we truly would not be the success we are today.

Wishing you only the best,

Ansleigh Beverly

Office Manager, Wilder PR

CLIENT TESTIMONIES

"This was the second time we worked with Wilder promotion and we are again very impressed with the high professionalism of this team.

We can in good conscience recommend Wilder Agency and we will gladly work with you again.
Thank you to Annette and her amazing staff for an absolutely fantastic job and we are looking forward to working with you repeatedly it's a great pleasure for us." ~ Nando Korobase/Co-Owner Angel Dessous

"I knew with the help of Wilder PR my event would be a success. I have been working with them for my biggest events for an entire year and each time I am more pleased to return as a client, and refer other designers to them as well. I received VAIN Magazine’s Reader’s Choice for Best Female Formal Wear of 2010 and decided to have a Thank You sale to show my supporters I appreciate them. It was my first sale but I had no doubt it would go well. Annette and her team helped me to grow my group members to more than 750 new members in 2 days! I had around 1,200 visitors each day, the sim was full during my sale. When I could not be online they stayed at my store and took care of my customers. I am looking forward to working with Wilder PR again!"~Mami Jewell,CEO/Owner, AZUL

"As Ora Trei Designs was nearing the anniversary of its first year, I luckily ran across Annette and Ansleigh through somewhat unusual circumstances. I am so grateful for that happenstance. They are incredibily efficient and creative in reaching the public and helping a business to gain notice. With their help I had one of the very first big sales events of the winter season that year. We enjoyed an increase of well over 50% in group membership. They were in touch every step of the way and kept close tabs on the progress of the event.

The event was very exciting and we saw the most traffic we have ever had, even since the beginning. Their promotional techniques really helped to put our store on the map. If you are looking for honest, supportive people to represent or promote you publicly, Wilder PR is definitely where you want to be. I recommend this company to all my friends. I will most certainly work with them again in the future.
Thank you, fabulous ladies!"

~Potnia Theas - Designer/CEO - Ora Trei Designs

"As the owner of Shapes by Kira and co-owner of Corrupted Innocence, I have been in Second Life for three years. I sell shapes and skins and have always had some success with that business because I offer quality items at affordable prices. In August, 2009, I decided to try something different to help promote my new skin line that I was releasing in September. I went to Annette Wilder of Wilder Public Relations Firm and asked her to represent me.

After my first meeting with both Annette and Ansleigh Beverly (Annette's office manager and right hand), I truly felt like I was in good hands. They both listened very carefully to what it was that I was trying to do with my business and gave me ideas of things that I could do to help myself and to help them help me. From that second on, they were with me every step of the way, encouraging me, keeping me informed of things they were working on, and making sure that everything was prepared for the big release.

The week of the skin release was amazing. My name was everywhere! Annette and Ansleigh worked tirelessly to make sure that everything was done impeccably. As a result, my sales have basically doubled what they were before I hired them and I have no reservations about recommending the Wilder Public Relations Firm to anyone. In fact, I have such confidence in them that I will be hiring them as a gift to a friend later on this year. If you are looking for the best that SL has to offer, look no further, because if you are reading this, you have already found what you need. "

"I saw the potential in Annette Wilder to be a great PR professional when I first invited her to be my PR Manager when I first launched AVENUE Models. Together we created the magic and presence of AVENUE Models when we first entered into the modeling industry. Relentless, personable and being a real go-getter, Annette has proved her mettle that there is no PR challenge that she cannot handle. I was proud to have mentored her and am even more pleased and proud when she started up her own PR agency. With her new fantastic team, they grow from strength to strength with their professionalism, dedication and verve to make things happen for their clients. AVENUE Inc and AVENUE Models is proud to be working with WILDER PR Inc with full confidence that they will get us the exposure and publicity that we want and more." ~ Rusch Raymaker, CEO AVENUE Inc/AVENUE Models

"Wilder PR is a highly professional organization run by very connected and hard working individuals. If you ever have an event that needs exposure then Wilder PR is the one stop shop. They personally contacted dozens (thats right DOZENS) of 3rd party organizations and got the word out about my Grand Opening Event and it really brought in some welcomed publicity and recognition by other influential organizations in Second Life. I cant think of a better place to turn if you want it done right. Thank you Wilder PR you ROCK!" ~Wyatt Benoir Owner of The ARTist's Park and The Artisan Magazine

"The Grand Opening of Zullay Designs was a very important event for my business, and WIlder PR came very highly recommended. Both Annette and Mahala are very easy to work with have a very optimistic 'can-do' attitude. The event was a huge success, due in no small part to the hard work and dedication of Annette and her team, and I look forward to working with WIlder PR for all of my future events." ~Zullay Thor Owner Zullay Designs

For my Slphoto Artistry, Wilder Public Relations turned into a; “How did I live with out them for so long?” Every communication, clear and complete. Leaving my essence in the hands of Annette Wilder gave new dimension to my SL Artistry, and a direction I see with greater opportunities for my name in the art world. Details matter to me, and Wilder PR is all about the details, as she says, strategy is everything. This is a professional public relations company in SL, handled, as RL would call for. I am pleased to be in their capable hands. Thank you Annette and Mahala I’m proud to be a client!" ~ Cienega Soon, SLphoto Artistry

"I needed to inform the public about the grand opening of my store Azul. I worked with edo Tone and was establishing my own seperate brand. I needed to get the word out fast but i didnt know how to do it...Then my friend Dana (from SL Newspaper) told me about Wilder PR Inc. I spoke to Annette & Mahala and explained what I needed, they began to work so quick. They posted about my brand and Grand Opening on many blogs, and informed the media and various fashion groups. I tried to log into my location and it was full of customers and I could not log in there. When I did log in my sales were going great. Customers were there checking out my merchandise and purchasing. Honestly i didnt expect it to go so well and for them to do such a wonderful job I definitely got more than I was expecting and I am very pleased and will use them again! - Thank you so much!"

~ Mami Jewell, Owner Azul

It's a pleasure working with them and I feel truly blessed to have found these Wilder angels."~ Amutey DeCuir, Owner, Bliss Couture

"Working with Wilder PR was wonderful. I have 2 brands and wanted PR for my newest one. Wilder PR gave me good advice about my grand opening and helped me get the word out about both my clothing lines. They represented both of my brands well and both brands were put in the spotlight. The great job done by Wilder PR brought me many new customers and awesome sales. When Wilder PR started my PR for +grasp+ I had 35 members and after the week of work by their team there were 253 members in my group. Thank you Annette and Wilder for your amazing job!" ~ Asalt Eames, Owner, +grasp+ and *Sweetaholic

"I heard of Wilder PR and was a fan of their work due to work they have done for my friend/translator Mami Jewell, owner of AZUL. I also knew they did not do PR for malls but I needed their professional help to promote my mall. When I approached them I was not sure if they would take it but was so happy when they saw the mall, loved it, and accepted me as a client. The mall was doing very well with my fellow Japanese speakers. My reason for the PR was to help bring in non-Japanese customers. Annette and Ansleigh helped me and I was impressed with their hard work and dedication throughout my entire Quiz Rally event for the mall. Since we started the event we got more than 100 new group members and more than 300 English HUDs were picked up by new non-Japanese speaking customers. Wilder PR is a very professional and amazing team of women. My staff and I cannot thank them enough!" ~TOMOZOO Lomu, Owner, DREAMS-MALL

"I wrote a testimonial previously but due to recent PR job I chose to write another one. Annette Wilder and the "Wilder Angels" are for sure the SL Miracle workers. I am very thrilled to have them to promote my 10,000 Members Appreciation Sale. I gained over 1100 new in-world members within a week. I am more than pleased with the results that I got. They are hard working, professional and a team of good people with big hearts. I feel truly thankful and honored to have them as PR for my company. They proved that miracles do exist in SL, I couldn't be any happier!!"
~ Amutey DeCuir, Owner, Bliss Couture

"I would like to thank Annette Wilder and her entire professional team. Wilder PR did a great job promoting my first Miss MOREA STYLE Contest, which took place on October 3, 2009. The contest was a huge success thanks to the competent team at Wilder PR. Due to the exposure brought from the Wilder PR press release not only did I get a ton of entries for Miss MOREA STYLE but I also had very high traffic to my clothing store. The traffic at the clothing store bought me many new customers and my sales were excellent for that week. I also saw the number of members in my group grow rapidly. Wilder PR is ran by kind, professional, and very supportive women. I am very pleased with their work ethic and the success from the PR. I will not hesitate to use them agan for future jobs. If you need PR definitely use Wilder PR you will not be disappointed!"
~morea Decosta, Owner, MOREA STYLE

We here at Wilder stand behind our work with great passion and pride. Our selection of clientele is slim, as we only serve the very best in what we feel is an oversaturated market. We will work to get your product the attention it deserves.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
