I had the unfornunate chance to work a promo event for kevin kirshner and his business forerunner promotional partners. So you know —I am a former model, I have been in documentaries and on runways, so I know what a professional is and how they should act. Being on vacation in New England, I thought I would earn some extra cash by working a promotion for a day or two. Payment was promised after two weeks (not bad nor unusual for promotions work)
Kevin Kirshner was/is the owner of Forerunner promotional partners. He is scatterbrained, will not answer phone calls when it comes to finding out the status of my check. (It has been over three weeks now) He has not answered emails inquiring as to the status either.
The promotion I worked was totally out of control, no one knew what was going on and he sent out incorrect information as to what to do at the beginning of the promo. No one was *in charge*. I have never worked such a joke and hope never to again.
I am still awaiting payment for my day of work. I refuse to let go of it and will fight til I get my hard earned money. Be careful out there when doing promotional work. Many fools and idiots can state online that they are promotional experts and then scam hard working models out of their checks. If you are a company looking for a promotional company to run a promotion, use a professional business that has been around for years. They are out there as I have worked for them.
