Pros

Because the company has no existing relationships, cold-calling is the name of the game. The only thing of value I gained from my time here was a comfort level on the phone which has served me well in my career.

Cons

There were no real relationships to speak of when I was here. Management did not have any of the connections lauded on the website. Experience is severely lacking here as well. Do not expect to be working under experts in marketing, because while I wrote a number of releases and pitched a lot of reporters, I learned essentially all of it on my own or with the help of my direct supervisor, who had been working in the marketing/PR roughly 6 months longer than I did. Employee turnover has been a problem for a long time. Even since this company was TLK Fusion, there has been a consistently swinging door of interns and junior employees, with the large majority leaving after experiencing what the company was really like or being fired for not agreeing to what were often preposterous employment terms. The company used to be called TLK Fusion. Why they re-branded I'm not entirely sure, but I would venture to guess client dissatisfaction and negative word-of-mouth contributed.

Pros

It has been 6 year of working with Ken Collis and I must say that these years made me to learn exclusively. It is always amazing working on new projects with Ken Collis. It helped me to accomplish the ultimate goal of my life. Best part of working with ken collis is, you can work skills and have the freedom of working by following your own strategies.

Cons

It has been great working with ken. I can't think of anything negative or any drawbacks.

Pros

It's potentially a chance to practice some new skill, and you may meet some interesting clients. The people I worked with were generally nice. It was an insightful look into some behind-the-scenes of a lot of the marketing.

Cons

In my time there as an intern I was overworked, unpaid, and entirely unappreciated. The second I was gone they wanted nothing more to do with me. Half the employees were unpaid interns handling nearly all of the social media for clients. I will echo previous comments that the entire setup was unethical and questionably legal. Management spouts a lot of empty promises, and seems incapable of turning off the marketing talk to actually speak seriously. Management also took on far more clients then they could handle, and when confronted with the issue simply revealed they had no interest in actually making a long-lasting sustainable business. I tried to do good work, but management only wanted the bare minimum until the clients complained. The obvious astroturfing on this Glassdoor page is disgusting, and what pushed me to finally say something.
