I am a brand ambassador that has worked on Long Island in the promotional space for quite a few years. I recently worked at an event for Kedem branded beverages at a variety of liquor stores across Long Island this past week. During these events, I was very disappointed with JKC Marketing, the agency that had contracted me to perform these events.
 
Due to fluctuating store hours, JKC Marketing - specifically Ms. Jasmine Charles -  has indicated that they will not be paying me for my full time commitment to the success of these events. Although they have shorted my payment by about $18, it is the principle that one follows through on commitments. During the event, the store manager had asked me to leave as the store would be closing 45 minutes early. With this in mind, I had informed Ms. Charles through calls and texts, with no reply or followup, leaving me to make my own best call as to what my next move would be to successfully close the event.

After leaving the location at the request of the store owner, Ms. Charles then informed me that she will not pay me for my full time because of the store manager's choices. This mistreatment by the Marketing Company will hurt Kedem's future relationship with brand ambassadors across Long Island as well as the various diverse communities that they come from. 
 




Secondly, I wanted to bring to your attention that Jasmine Charles of JKC Marketing, has requested myself, as well as other brand ambassadors I assume, to misrepresent the amount of sales at each location. In locations with low foot traffic, she has specifically told me to increase the number of product sales reported through her app and on one instance even sent in her own customer to buy the products in order to further embellish the documentation. This product sales misrepresentation can only hurt Kedem and has made me very uncomfortable with the entire experience. 
 
Thirdly, I wanted to indicate that JKC Marketing has provided little to no training materials nor information needed to properly advocate for your products. This organization has left Brand Ambassadors in the dark about these events and has forced brand ambassadors to perform their own research on the products in order to sell them as best as possible. On top of this, JKC's lack of preparation goes so far as to hire brand ambassadors only hours before the event as was the case with my own experience. 
 
Jasmine Charles does not treat brand ambassadors with respect, nor does she acknowledge time time and effort it takes to make an event successful. She fails to appreciate the work that people on the ground put in. I know $18 is not a lot to Ms. Jasmine Charles, but it is alot to me and it is alot to many brand ambassadors who are trying to make a living during a pandemic. I highly urge all to avoid working with Jasmine Charles, her marketing company, and any of her affiliates.
