For nearly 8 years Alyssa worked as a solo-preneur and freelancer; creating photo and video content, as well as providing website design and social media management for her clients. Her business was not built on skill alone, but her ability to connect with her clients, communicate, and really care about the brands she worked with. Essentially anything her clients needed – she would find a way to make it happen.
Alyssa Raye Productions was a small, but thriving, media business, that eventually become MUCH bigger than Alyssa could handle on her own.
She sought out a talented team to help her provide a more complete, higher quality service, and Wild Media slowly came to be.
While she continues to work directly with each client, Alyssa empowers her team to utilize their respective skills to provide a collaborative effort for each brand.
She spends most of her time with her Wooly Siberian Husky, Nakia, who was the inspiration behind “Wild Media”. When Alyssa is not on her laptop working on client projects, you can find her and Nakia either hiking through the woods or paddleboarding on the water.
“I can say with full confidence that Wild Media was not developed through skills alone, but how much we invest and care about everyone that we work with. We truly have the coolest clients, and we love working with each and every one of them, and seeing their joy when we deliver a project or execute a successful marketing campaign.”
Kevin Cootauco; Executive Producer
Kevin has been a working professional as a freelance creative since 2016, but he would tell you that his journey to this point in his career and life starts in his childhood. Exhausting hours and hours of his favourite movies, and every piece of extra content about how those films were made, and the people behind them – he always dreamed about being an artist and storyteller, just like his favourite filmmakers and artists.
In recent years, he has made a name for himself as a top photographer, cinematographer, director and collaborator in the fitness community, with local and independent businesses, big brand names, professional athletes, influencers and many more. With a strong focus on visual storytelling, and always putting the art and the craft first, Kevin is known for having a bright, enthusiastic energy on set, but also having a wide technical understanding of filmmaking and photography technique; delivering a very creative, colourful and stunning style with his visuals.
"I've tried my hand at academics, corporate business, public service, but I always felt like I was changing myself to fit those roles, and they never fit me. Doing what I do now, I feel like I can express all of myself, and use my skillset working with people to collaborate into executing a vision beyond what even they see in their own minds. I feel liberated - and I've learned that feeling of freedom is the purest form of power in your own life"
