Media personality and brand influencer, Mikki Osei Berko, has narrated how a company he worked with as a brand ambassador failed to appreciate his contributions.
In an interview with GhanaWeb’s Elsie Lamar on Talkertainment on February 6, 2025, Mikki Osei Berko revealed that he was paid GH¢15,000 for promoting ‘Heaven Insecticides’.
However, he explained that he was removed from the role after requesting better compensation.
“I left Heaven because they didn’t understand the need to properly pay me as a brand ambassador. They thought that after the contract, which involved shooting TV commercials and putting my image on billboards across the country, GH¢15,000 was enough. I had to address it and speak with top people in advertising to step in,” he said.
Mikki Osei Berko went on to explain that he asked for a pay increase due to the way they were using his image to consistently market their product, but this request led to his removal as brands ambassador.
“I asked for an increase because of how they were using my image to sell their product, and that got me kicked out. After the contract ended, I still saw the adverts a few times. I had to let it go because, had I pushed further, I would’ve been labeled a troublemaker,” he explained.
Despite no longer working with the company, Mikki Osei Berko expressed satisfaction with the positive impact he had on the Heaven Insecticide brand.
“By the grace of God, when I started working with them, there were other top brands. Eventually, the product became scarce because people were buying it. I believe that when I work for you and you don’t reward me, God will find a way to reward me somewhere else. Even though it doesn’t put food on my table, it touches me emotionally when people recognize me and mention things I said in the commercial,” he concluded.
