Denver, CO – May 12, 2008 - Amélie Company, a Denver-based advertising, public relations and marketing firm, announces the addition of Jessica Wirt and Gwendoline Van Doosselaere to the Account Services Department.

Jessica Wirt brings over six years experience in marketing, sales, and customer service to Amélie Company. Previously, she was the National Education Manager at Rocky Mountain Natural Labs where she managed an initiative to increase brand awareness and sales by providing product education in new markets throughout the US. She has also contributed in the non-profit arena by recruiting students for higher education opportunities abroad.  At Amélie, Wirt has focused her efforts on developing unique interactive communications for her clients.

Wirt got an early start in the advertising business when she appeared in a television commercial at the age of 4. “So much for my lucrative career in show business,” says Wirt jokingly. “Truth is, I’m fascinated by the impact of marketing messages and imagery on our society. There’s a very healthy creative collaboration at Amélie with a strong emphasis on client partnerships. I’m thrilled to be a part of it.” Wirt holds a BA in Journalism and French from the University of Minnesota and completed a study abroad program in Montpellier, France.

Gwendoline Van Doosselaere bridges her academic background in organizational communications with years of professional experience in the arts, non-profit communications and entrepreneurial development. With over three years of project management in various fields, Van Doosselaere assists in both Anglophone and Francophone projects at Amélie Company. “I grew up here in the US but my parents are French-speaking Belgians so I was raised in a bilingual environment,” said Van

Doosselaere. “I was attracted to Amélie Company because of its international feel and attention to cultural relevancy when developing and executing communications and marketing campaigns.”

Van Doosselaere was an honor student at the University of Colorado where she received a BA in Anthropology and Art History as well as an MA in Mass Communications and Journalism.

“It’s always our intention to hire the best and brightest to provide excellent service and creative design for our clients”, said Benoît Guin, agency principal. “But we also look for people like Jessica and Gwendoline who are willing to go above and beyond their job description and bring something extra to the team.”
