Wilhelmina Models has always set out to build and diversify their brand with constant growth throughout the fashion world. Wilhelmina recently ventured into the world of television with “She’s Got the Look,” a modeling contest series held for women over 35 which aired with resounding success. Media powerhouse Viacom, which owns companies such as MTV Networks and Paramount Motion Pictures Group, quickly signed on “She’s Got the Look” to their TV Land line-up for a second season which aired the summer of 2009 with a third season to follow in the Spring/Summer of 2010. The Wilhelmina Artist Management division expanded in 2008 with a Sports and Fitness department representing professional athletes, models and hosts. Since then, the team has locked in some of the most influential players in the industry; the newest addition being Buffalo Bills football player, Terrell Owens. He is accompanied by the likes of David Leadbetter, Hall of Famer and world-renown golf instructor; world boxing champion, Roy Jones Jr.; two-time U.S. Olympian speed skater Allison Baver; and the W7 consisting of top LPGA woman golfers. In January of 2009 Wilhelmina International, Ltd. took a revolutionary step forward by becoming the first US modeling agency to go public. It succeeds in expanding across the fashion, beauty and entertainment industries with its unique perspective. Wilhelmina International, Ltd. continues as one of the absolute top-tier management firms in the business. |
