Pro Stance Mat - sub-standard, *********, dishonest

Offering creative services to SA's SMME's at loadshedding/lockdown recovery rates is a sincere strategic focus of mine, and my agency The Premier Edge Group.

Brian Goslett will impress you with his innovative thinking, personal financial commitment to success and family centric dreams.

This is a warning to other agency owners with big hearts.

Stay away from Brian Goslett and his Pro Stance Mat product launch/ business concept. I did not. And it cost me R50,000.00

I offered Brian a heavily subsidised print ad - a small start to a long term successful partnership. Once he had spent time with me, gained the knowledge he needed, he unilaterally cancelled the contract. I am still liable for the media costs. My team and I invested 27 hours in workshops, design, and media planning - billable hours lost.

Brian sent a cryptic Whatsapp message blaming the media owner's opinion of me. I checked. This was a lie. I also discovered too late that Brian had read a poor review and instead of contacting me for an explanation, he did what all cyber-bully ***ards do. He salivated all over social media. And all to avoid paying 5% of the total campaign cost. His claim or concern is "I was offered a print ad" ...

How shocking Brian. An advertising agency offered to help you with an ad? That is really bizarre. You must have been very confused.

I have done my homework since, and I now know that I dodged a bullet. Sub-standard, cheap, with no future financial potential (and the product isn't great either).

There are small businesses across SA that need marketing magic. Pro Stance Mat is not one of them.
