Helping out Ash's agent - Hello Magazine

[zzenzero]

You want to see more of Ash or just want the best for her?
Then email,"Hello".Read on.

Some of us Aisleyne supporters over at another forum have become quite concerned at Ash's inactivity post-BB.We're delighted with the NUTs shoot...has Ash ever looked lovelier? and we know NOW mag has been done.

However, she missed the Richard and Judy Show, as well as that premiere last week.Rumours were flying that her agent had secured her something special exclusive but it seems that this ammounted to the NUTs shoot plus the FNP where she didn't even speak!The Northampton Rock Cafe gig is nice but these are hardly mind-blowing entrances into the media world.

We suspect that after 5 hours deliberation, she may not have chosen the best agent.John Noel is busy doing well for Pete and Nikki etc but he didn't take on Ash.

Her agent, I'm sure means well but may not be aware of Ash's full potential...as we are!Does he truly know her?Was he watching Live Feed as we were?In fact, did he even watch the H/Ls spin? I'm talking to some Sunday Mirror journalists later in an attempt to find out who her agent is and if we can help him out.

The NUTs route is nice, 45k pays the bills and Ash is looking happy and refreshed after her last week ordeal in the house.But is this enough for such an amazing woman? Does her agent intend to pursue other outlets for Ash? He's probably getting top fees for her in the area he perceives her to best suited for.That's good but in the long term, we want Ash to get more diverse opportunities to achieve the "amazingness that might come along".

Cameron of BB4 was telling me yesterday that agents "wait and field the interest, rather than going out to create the interest. Maybe that's what's happened to Aisleyne." He btw has a high regard for Aisleyne.

NUTs shoot tells us that she DOES want to be busy.She's not opting out of the media at all as some have suggested.She wants her place in the sun and she deserves it.

If you're interested in creating such interest in the media for our Princess you can help in two ways:

One, be creative yourself and contact people who we might not even have thought of such as TV and Radio companies.Contact me if you're interested and we can compare notes.

Two , email Hello Magazine and ask why nothing on Ash yet.
This is our focused target first.
contact.hellomagazine.com/ContactHelloweb.html

That is a kind of email form to fill in

Or directly email [e-mail]
If enough people email, they might sit up and take note.They might even contact Ash's reticent agent.
If I get his name after my call to SM at ten, I'll pop that in too.

You want to see more of Ash or just want the best for her?
Then email, Hello.
We'll work on Ok and Vogue in due course.

[robbie]

Done.

I've also contacted Richard and Judy.

Good man, Robbie.
I emailed R and J but got no reply, apart from an automated one...bout a week ago.
Ready Steady Cook[please dont laugh] also ignored me.Jon Tickle did that gig 3 years ago well. Ainsley Harriet's an Arsenal fan like both me and Ash, so perhaps I can re-try it with personal to him.
By contacting R and J you've now become one of Ash's "secret" undercover agents working on her behalf.
Please keep up the good work.
We want Ash on our screens not just in Northampton or the Embassy Club.

Good job! Done and emailed!

There used to be campaigns like that for Michelle Bass and our forum started getting into trouble for it, apparently. Magazines are happy to find out where the support is but they can usually spot an organized campaign a mile off and they're not too keen on them as far as I understand.

I don't think I've ever heard of Hello and Vogue magazine featuring a Big Brother contestant? They're not the usual venue for such things. The blue-ribbon magazine is 'OK' although they tend to lock people into exclusive contracts which can be very restrictive and Aisleyne (or her agent) may have vetoed them deliberately.

I think it's a bit early to be criticizing her agent. Aisleyne is a lovely person but her 'true potential' in the entertainment industry is not obvious from her BB performance. Aisleyne tends to be nervous in presenting roles and her DJ performance in the house was, by her own admission, not very good. Even the advert she did for Nuts is sweet but it's not exactly a professional delivery. I suspect it's better to restrict the output rather than flood the market all at once and I think that her best bet is definitely the Glamour industry for which she already has experience. If she's going in that direction, Nuts is the leading magazine in that area so she certainly hasn't wasted any time, there.

I'm not suggesting that people shouldn't write but, if we're going to write, it shouldn't all be to one magazine and then a few weeks later everyone writing to a different magazine. The magazines already know that there are a number of people who feel strongly about Aisleyne but what they don't know is whether that's a strong feeling amongst a few organized fans on the internet or a broad interest across a large proportion of the public. I suspect it's the latter that sells and organized campaigns just smack of the former.

If we want to see Aisleyne in our favourite magazines or TV shows then it's a great idea to write and say so but I don't think it's a good idea for everyone to write to the same magazine at the same time. That way Aisleyne fans end up getting labelled as trouble-makers and that could generate ill-feeling towards Aisleyne rather than the effect we're aiming for.

Just my opinion.

Julian

You're right Julian, they may get abit angry and suspicious if they haven't already done an interview with her but Michelle seems to have done amazingly well! You heard her new single....it's an amazing dance track!

Yes, if Aisleyne does half as well as Michelle I'll be really happy. I've only heard a remix of Michelle's single but it sounded pretty good. Aisleyne could do a lot worse than have signed with Michelle's agent as, besides the single, they've done a good job at getting her back into glamour modelling as well as Heat and OK magazine again.

Michelle and Jade prove that the most successful BB housemates are not, necessarily, the winners. We all know that Aisleyne is 'shrewd'. If she spent 5 hours deliberating over 5 agents I'm betting she made a good choice.

[rudyrudy]

Zzenzero, I've emailed Hello. Ok I admit: you convinced me

[bunniesfrightenme]

I got a reply

Dear Eoin

Thank you for your email regarding Aisleyne Horgan Wallace. Unfortunately I don't think we will be doing anything on her as we usually only do an interview with one person from reality shows, and as you noted, we've already published an interview with Susie Verrico form Big Brother.

I'm glad you have enjoyed our articles, and hope you can look forward to enjoying many more!

Hello! Features Assistant

Thank you very much for that feedback, Eoin.I'm in your debt and this helps me re-think strategies.Well done Suzie btw.It helps to leave BB house earlier sometimes.

Thanks too, Julian, because you make some excellent points.
Not to worry its a 90 mins game and conceding an early goal is ok.

I'll have a little chat with Ash's agent tomorrow and this sort of feedback will help me say the right things etc.I don't think she'll be aware of the sheer size of Ash's fanbase and one of my angles will be to ask for Ash's personal appearance dates in advance so that internet support can be drummed up.

If she thinks that people are prepared to get along to such gigs, then she'll probably go for it more on Ash's behalf when considering bookings.No more of the Endemol chavs boo-ing her but our internet thousands taking turns to go to Ash's gigs and cheering her.Prospective clients may book Ash if they know this.

I also want to know what plans have been made for Ash to catch up on TV and Radio work.The other hms have already had so much more...partly because they left the house earlier.Now BB is old news, it'll be harder to find such TV work. I hope she is believing in Ash as much as we do.These mag shoots are great but we'd like to hear Ash too!! Like we used to.

So zzenzero, you've got hold hold of Aisleyne's new agent's name? Well done on that and good luck with your telephone call with her. Setting up an official website for Aisleyne is a must too, wherein advance information could be readily posted. And if Aisleyne gets an engagement in Scotland, I'd go

[faker51]

wow zzenzero if ou get contact with aisleynes agent thats huge

any info we can get about ais will be well good

[~Gavin~]

this is what I said to Hello magazine-

I would love for an interview involving Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace. I rarely buy Hello magazine, and if Aisleyne's interview is in there, there will be a gaurenteed rise in sales of Hello magazine. Do you know how many fans still love her? How many forums and websites are still being made for her? I would love to see an interview with her.

I phoned Ash's agent this morning at 11o' clock.The woman who answered the phone said that Emma was out.She wasn't very communicative,and said that it was better not to phone as they were always so busy in the office.

She gave me Emma's email address but I didn't feel good vibes at all.I tried to engage her for as long as I could and did get across how strong Ash's internet following is and how we all think Ash has so much to offer besides glamour work and magazines.I also pointed out that advance knowledge of Ash's personal appearances would guarantee a huge response from her fans.

I got the impression overall that she[indeed they] were not happy to be phoned re-their clients and to be honest, she didn't sound very enthusiastic about the Internet Support.
Emma may be different and I will email her some time.

I did find out that Imogen and Glyn are also with MM Whether Emma takes Ash and this woman takes another I don't know.But she said that G and I are also with "us"

Here are the contact details which incidentally I got from Grant Hodgson at the Mirror who did Ash's Sunday story with Susie Boniface.Go to a newspaper when you are sleuthing.Grant was a really nice guy who thought the world of Ash.

Emma Rouse at Money Management
0207 287 7490
Email: [e-mail]
Address..which I sleuthed via BT:
22,Noel Street
London
W1F 8GS
It's actually an entertainment agency.

I recommend emails and letters not phoning but feel free to do whatever you think might show them that we are really behind Ash.
Emails are not always answered whereas a voice on the phone is direct and,in theory, friendlier.If you do ring, try 9am and you might catch Emma herself.I wish I had now.

One small point but I'll raise it.
Given Ash is a very respectful person who thanked fans at the Finals night, I remain perplexed as to why she hasn't left a note of thanks somewhere on a forum.
She may not be internet savvy and has been kept by Emma
in a low profile but she must have heard from someone about this unprecedented support, specific to the internet.
Why no acknowledgement after 12 days now puzzles me.
Just a thought.

[faker51]

thanks for the info

and im a bit suprised that aisleyne or her people haven't given a acknowledgement to how her fans - especially online made news in the paper and net -

[~Gavin~]

She should do a UK tour, go to everywhere in the UK to meet her fans, and hopefully come to Newcastle where I will be able to meet her and other fans, I really really really wanna meet Ash

[ashrocks]

Look I think Hello is aiming a bit to high, we need to email New women as I see Thikki is on the front cover can you beleive? I cant stand this girl so I didnt buy it although I like the mag, we need to say to them that most people cant stand nikki hence her being booted out before ash and hence her only getting 6% of the vote!!! why are they still going on about thickki noone is interested!! Lets email New Women telling them that Ash is the top girl and she should be getting these front overs not nikki, shes far more apealing to their sort of readers!! comme on guys! x

[ashrocks]

personally I think ahs has signed up with a excrement agent!!
