Area Type Options dialogue box will appear on the artboard. In that dialogue box select the number of columns and rows in which you want to divide your text. I have selected the number of columns as 2 and the number of rows as 1.

Select the Pen Tool and draw an outline around the image. The text will be wrapped around in the shape of that outline.

 
 

Select the outline, and the text and click on Object in the Menu Bar. Place the cursor on Text Wrap and select Make.

 
 

The text will get wrapped around the image. In case the text gets wrapped inside the image then go to Text Wrap Option and unchecked Invert Wrap. Then again make a Text Wrap.
