Ambassador Deal: Where Is The Synergy Between Squadron And Ruggedman?

Nature has a peculiar way of stating its facts and one of such facts is the symbiotic relationship between a Shark and Remora. Sometimes called suckerfish, the Remoras’ job is to eat not just the crumbs from the Sharks food but to eat parasites surrounding the shark to keep it clean in turn the shark gives protection to its guest. Like Remora, a brand Ambassador’s characteristics should involve the ability to give good reputation to the brand he/she represents, not a controversial personality who will drag the name of the brand into mud. It is a common sight to see Nigerian celebrities who are making waves in their choosen field and with commendable reputations been used as brand ambassadors. Most recent of such signing is that of Korede Bello, Dija and Reekado banks as Glo brand ambassadors. The employment of Michael Stephen a.k.a Ruggedman as a brand ambassador to Intercontinental Distillers Limited, IDL brand, Squadron Dark Rum is generating huge controversy with some giving kudos to the initiative while others frown as it with the opinion that Ruggedman lacks qualities that tally with Squadron dark rum. http://perfectbrandsng.com/ambassador-deal-where-is-the-synergy-between-squadron-and-ruggedman/

South Africa MTN, workers agree on deal to end 2-month strike

South African mobile operator MTN Group and union leaders reached a deal over bonuses on Thursday, ending two months strike by the workers. About 2,000 workers led by the Communications Workers Union (CWU) downed tools in May at Africa’s biggest mobile phone operator, demanding eight per cent pay rise and 16 per cent bonus payment. The CWU said it had agreed to an eight per cent bonus payment this year and 12 per cent next year. Both payments are guaranteed and not related to the performance of the company. “Members are expected to go back to work within two days after the signing of the agreement”, CWU General Secretary Aubrey Tshabalala said. The two parties failed to reach a deal on monthly wages, but the CWU has said it would accept MTN’s eight per cent offer if performance conditions are removed. MTN, along with its rivals in South Africa, is trying to contain costs in the face of tough competition that has hit profit margins. http://perfectbrandsng.com/south-africa-mtn-workers-agree-on-deal-to-end-2-month-strike/

To run these generators, he stated, is more expensive than diesel generators but they are confirmed to be environment-friendly owing to its less offensive emissions.
