Sasmar Consumer Healthcare John Michael Mancini Commissioned PR project that delivered on brief - then refused to pay Sydney, Internet
Report Attachments
SASMAR Commissioned Palin Communications in Australia to implement a pharmacy-focused PR campaign in Australia to alert Australian Pharmacists to the availability of an allergy product called Nasaleze. The media materials generated a range of positive editorial reports in Australian pharmacy publications as per the brief and included quotes from a contracted opinion leader. The CEO of SASMAR (John Michael Mancini) has bluntly refused to pay the invoice for this servicer despite (1) approving the activity, (2) issuing a formal purchase order to confirm this approval, (3) sending positive emails as the stories rolled in and (4) continuing to use the media release on his web site. I have legal action pending but he point blank refuses to pay the bill. I regard this as a blatant rip off as he commissioned work, approved it in writing, got the commercial benefits of the editorial media coverage and then simply refused to pay the bill. It is basically fraud.

RESPONSE TO CLAIM BY SASMAR CONSUMER HEALTHCARE

Palin Communication was indeed commissioned to provide PR services for a product launch. Unfortunately the services which they agreed to perform have only been part completed. As there is a very clear standing that the work has not been completed, the company has refused to pay the full amount.
The media release associated with this product launch is NOT used on any website owned by Sasmar or it's associated companies.
It is very disappointing that the owner of Palin Communications, Mr Martin (Marty) Palin has chosen to defame our CEO my naming him personally in this report. This is an attempt to blackmail SASMAR into paying for services that were not provided following numerous emails to Mr Mancini threatening such listings.
SASMAR Consumer Healthcare is a pharmaceutical company with operations in Sydney, Brussels and London. The company manufacturers and distributes products to over thirty countries and supports and assists in the prevention of HIV and reduction of unwanted pregnancies in developing and third world countries, working closely with many government agencies around the world including the United Nations. We are ethical and honest in our approach and will not be blackmailed by to pay for services not received. This is now a matter for the courts to decide. Anyone wanted further information about this matter is welcome to contact any Sasmar office.
