As a Multicultural Advisor, Jeezy will share his knowledge of how to market Tequila Avion to consumers outside of their niche. According to the 36-year-old rhymer, Avion is a brand that he’s enjoyed drinking and is excited to lead the company in a new lucrative direction. When Ken asked me why I included Avion in my music and social channels, I told him it was purely for the love of the product,” he says. “While I will be advising Ken, Ken in turn will advise me with my business ventures and personal brand. It has been a great relationship so far, and I’m looking forward to sipping more Avion with Ken.”
