Meet Aubrey Knox | CEO of Wildfire Models

We had the good fortune of connecting with Aubrey Knox and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aubrey, what do you attribute your success to?
It’s hard to narrow it down to just one attribution that has helped propel me to where I’m at today.  I think one of the biggest and most important factors of success in any Entrepreneur’s business is to be confident in what you are doing. Be confident that your company will excel and don’t stop until it does! Make moves every day to get to that end goal. There are no days off as an entrepreneur if you want to be successful.

What should our readers know about your business?
Wildfire Models is a full service Marketing Agency based in Dallas, TX, but we are nation wide! We specialize in staffing Brand Ambassadors, Models, and Actors, Although this is our main focus, we also offer staffing of Photographers, Videographers, MUA…the entire creative team. In addition, our services include Social Media Management, Content Creation, Event Planning, and more! Getting here wasn’t easy, but when you love your company like a baby, you’ll do anything to see it succeed. It’s taken years of growth and lessons, sleepless nights, 70 hour work weeks, working holidays, working weekends, no days off, constant and everyday networking… Owning a business is a full time job and to succeed you need to think of it that way! It takes creativity and the ability to not give in to the “No’s”. Be confident in your craft and continue moving forward.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
This is the perfect question being that I have a friend coming to visit soon! I am a HUGE homebody, but when I get out I make sure to have a good time! Below is the itinerary I would have planned;

Breakfast- Shipley’s Donuts…Duh!
Lunch, Dinner, Bars to visit- The Rustic, Waterproof, HG Supply Co.,
For Fun; Toyota music Factory, Boating on Lake Lewisville, Dallas Backyard Bar, Go to a Red Dirt Concert at Billy Bob’s, Stockyards, Dallas Arboretum, Hit a skyscraper pool such as Waterproof, Horseback riding

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Starting a business is a scary thing and requires you to have the ability to learn and be shaped and molded throughout time. It takes a village to create a strong, successful business and so much of the knowledge I’ve gained in this business has come from others! Huge thank to a couple people that have helped me on this journey;
