TLK Fusion Ken Collis and Tracy Keyser KEN COLLIS, TRACY KEYSER AND FRAUDS Internet, Internet
This company is a complete fraud! Ken and Tracy will promise you the world and deliver small menial placements. To my surprise I found out the VP, Tracy does not have a lick of PR experience. I spent several thousand dollars a month with no real return on my investment. The Account Executives have an extremely high turnover rate. I've had so many I can not even keep count. And come to find out my AE handled well over 10 other accounts and does not have the opportunity to focus simply on my project. Ken brags about being a millionaire with a custom Bentley and apparently that is what your retainer funds because my AE barely made enough to pay for the gas to and from work. I have heard that he fires all employees before the are eligible for health benefits. What a stand up guy. It seems to me that he is becoming very wealthy on just running accounts and employees through his system as quickly as possible. Most times he's too busy to even take my calls but he sure can cash my checks. If you are a start up company with a tight budget do not spend your hard earned money here!

This is yet another attempt to bully their former employees and clients. What I know... is I am protected by the First Amendmnet and no breach of contract or slander has been committed. What I'm sure of... is that I took a job at TLK ignoring previous Rip-Off Reports, warnings from collegues, public relations trade organization learders and frustrated TLK clientele. Anything stated in my previous post was common knowledge amoungst employees, clients and the public relations community. As far as anything stated about Tracey, her job history has always public on LinkedIn and again I revealed nothing that people can not find on the world wide web. Unless she's changed her LinkeIn resume to reflect otherwise, you can also see on LinkedIn by just searching TLK that hired employees have a very short career with their company. When I was hired I noticed by looking on linked in that they had been through over 5 publicist that previous year. There were no trade secrets revealed, no proprietary client information or anything revealed that was not already common knowledge in our industry. I challenge you to Google 'TLK Fusion Lawsuits' and see what comes up....The trail dates back as early as 2011. 5 complaints were posted on Rip-Off Report alone in 2014. It is not by accident that for the last 4 years this company has steadily continued to have both former clients and employees sound off on this site about their practices. If they want good reviews, they should simply practice good business.

This company is the worst company in the world. I use to work for them and I was treated with so much abuse I was so happy to leave. if you have ever heard of the pyramid scam, TLK Fusion would be right next to it. Ken is such a queen, and I know many companies have had an awful experience with them. This company does nothing and is a waste of money. DO NOT WORK FOR OR WITH TLK FUSION.
