Shiekh Team FAQs

1. Do I have to be in college to participate in Shiekh Team?
The preferred age range for the Shiekh Team is 16-24 years old. So, if you fall within the age range, you're all good.
.
2. What exactly are we going to be doing besides promoting Shiekh?
Besides promoting our events, you're also going to be creating your own local programming (basketball tournaments, Open Mic nights, community service, etc.). Shiekh Team is not just a promotion team, but a local organization. Shiekh corporate marketing will a lot of your local programming with FREE stuff (or money, if approved). Consider Shiekh Team like a hip youth-driven community organization, which focuses on urban lifestyle...from fashion and music to sports and entertainment. The ideas are endless! We'll have some events come from corporate (like our Jabbawockeez or Kayne West meet and greet), but the rest will come from the local Shiekh Team members. Since the members live in the local area, you know better than we do in regards to what's happening, what's relevant, and what the Shiekh Team should be doing to engage the community and promote the culture. Everything you do will not be about or directly linked to Shiekh stores, but it will be part of Shiekh Team!

3. When do we get promotional materials to promote Shiekh events?
We'll try to send promotional materials out next 4 weeks before the event (sometimes it's a shorter window). The Shiekh Team Manager should plan atleast 3 outtings with the members. Go flyer at colleges and high schools. Contact promoters of All Ages and 18+ nightclubs and ask if the Shiekh Team can come invade the night with giveaways (you'll decorate with posters, banners, and pass out flyers). And any other creative ideas you might have. Sometimes, we give you t-shirts to wear that is related to the upcoming event. The members should wear the t-shirts at all times when you're out promoting (see the pics on ShiekhTeam.com how the Shiekh Team LA wore Super Cr3w and Jabbawockeez tees)

4. How often will my city get hit with events?
Because we have so many stores in multiple states, Shiekh corporate marketing department can't possibly plan enough events for all of our local communities. We do not have a set minimum or maximum number of events...they just come when they come (often based on talent's availibility). However, that doesn't mean the Shiekh Team shouldn't be active at all times. The Shiekh Team members can create their own events, participate in community service, and do things together (outtings and parties). We take cues from our Shiekh Team. If there's something coming up in the community...a concert, an athletic match, a volunteer opportunity, etc...let us know.

You must have a personal digital camera and decent writing skills. Shiekh Team Managers earn extra Shiekh Points for their extra effort. There are often special bonuses too!
