Hello everyone, I am Andre D. Ramsey. I wanted to come on here because
someone brought this thread to my attention, and I'd like to set the
record straight for those of you who are interested in the truth. I was
responsible for running BlamAds as an employee of Ryan Eagle and Eagle
Web Assets with the title VP of Incentive Operations from February 2010 –
October 2012.
When we launched Blam in the summer of 2010, things went well for a long
time and we had quite a following of very satisfied affiliates. Ryan
Eagle as the owner of BLAM Ads and I as VP disagreed on a number of
issues regarding the general management of BLAM and the direction of the
company, as is normal with any situation involving a team environment.
However, around the first quarter of 2012, I started receiving a
considerable number of complaints from both my account managers and
affiliates that the payments they were to receive from the EWA
accounting office weren't being sent on time- sometimes not at all.
I personally met with both Tom and Ryan Eagle on numerous occasions on
behalf of my Affiliates and Affiliate Mangers to get to the bottom of
these issues and to get affiliates payments expedited. As VP, I was only
privy to affiliate operations of the company and not the back office
accounting. From my perspective BLAM Ads was cash positive based on
network stats and I could not understand why affiliates continued to be
paid late.
I poured my life into BLAM Ads, and it frustrated me to see my blood,
sweat, and tears falling apart based on things out of my control and all
the decisions affecting the company being made by the owners to which I
was not privy. During these discussions I informed the owners, that I
could not in good conscience manage the company if BLAM continued in the
direction it was going. Subsequently, on Oct 17th, 2012 I was told my
services was no longer needed. I’ve not spoken to Ryan Eagle since.
A month following, Ben Cagle from Society Invite and MMDCash and I began
discussing a partnership opportunity and on 11/15/2012 we forged a
partnership to form LevelUpAds, LLC. This partnership brings both my
experience and success together with his reputation for always paying
his publishers and he has always been well respected in the industry. So
when publishers come to LevelUpAds, they are not just joining another
network, but are partnering with a team with over 30 years of collective
manage experience, is financially backed, and has responsible
leadership. Our company is fully independent and has no connection to
Eagle Web Assets, Inc. Ryan Eagle or any of his partners.
The damage done from the collapse of EWA is felt throughout the
industry; from the many employees that trusted Ryan, Harrison and Tom
working countless hours to help build up EWA and BLAM Ads, and the
thousands of affiliates whom not only lost their earnings but also trust
in network owners and the industry as a whole, and to the unseen
personal friends of Ryan Eagle whom have been negatively affected by
these events.
Please contact me for further discussion via skype: andre.d.ramsey as I’d love to clear up any additional misconceptions.
