Testimonials
“Having worked with Jael as a brand ambassador for J. Astaphan and company on the A-Team television and radio show, I can certainly say she delivered beyond expectations. Jael was not only creative, proactive and hardworking but she did much more than her scope of work – always and on her own accord. Jael also handled some marketing promotions for us and delivered quality work and on a timely basis. She is spontaneous, efficient and vivacious – and nothing is too difficult – a well of creative ideas and very much action-oriented – who wouldn’t want to work with these qualities.”
“I have had the opportunity to work with Jael at many of our events. But allow me to single out her duties executed at the 2019 World Creole Music Festival. She invested time, effort and a whole new wardrobe in ensuring that her presence on-stage was of a world-class standard. Not only did she look the part but she made the on-stage visibility look easy with her zeal and ability to connect with the DJs and crowd in between. She is an amazing and creative individual. I do look forward to working alongside her in the near future”
“I have known Jael Joseph for many years. She has been one of the best people in the media in Dominica, especially as it relates to promoting the business of others. She is articulate and focused and gets the job done. She has a good cadre of talent that are used in the creation of adverts and promotions. Using her and her business provides positive results.”
“Ms. Jael Joseph is an important part of this business. As our marketing arm, she has shown loyalty, innovation and consistency. She is a pleasure to work with as she makes the job easy and rewarding. Customers have made mention that they enjoy our marketing concepts. We also have a way to track the response to our promotions. It is a pleasure working with her.”
“When I first realized that I had to work with Jael, I must admit, there was some nervousness. Before our professional communication began, she was already a nationally renowned personality—a personality defined by energy, enthusiasm and drive. By the time we started interacting, these assumptions about her personality proved not only true, but limiting. Jael is intelligent, dedicated, compassionate, flexible, easy-to get-a-long with, patient, tolerant, and pragmatic As an advertising agent, she goes the extra mile to ensure that clients get value for money via excellent rates, based on one’s budget. In fact, oftentimes she even provides advice to ensure that I make the best decisions. ”
