Vacancy: Head of Marketing and Fan Experience
advertised on the clubs website
Be a strategic manager ⌠keep the club on the front foot from a messaging and narrative standpoint.
Got to be a good thing.
Prepare for a 4 week interview process⌠to give the job to Heslop.
Looks like they finally want to bring us up to date and shows they think there should be more from online and communicating too.
Despite then not communicating all summer so far
Thatâs because they donât have anyone in the post so far.
So no posts go out on the socials ? How did BBs letter go out ?
So what do these people do?
The job description does say itâll be overseeing a team of 2-3 people. So maybe a manager over these?
They obviously donât think these people are doing well enough to be responsible for their own output. Thatâs why they are appointing a manager.
They should be sacked then.
The advert says;
This person must also share our values of:
I think they mean the values of âthatâll do, leave it, thatâs good enough.â
âRelentlessly resourcefulâ = âWork within a tight budgetâ.
They probably need a manager to guide them.
Never mind marketing and fan experience, I want to know when the head coach and the 2nd first team coach are going to be appointed?
Wonder if @funk_hits_the_fan could be tempted to take this positionâŚ
PS that was a serious comment by the way.
Wow 4 wages to do that !!. Whats Whittakers job then?. Meanwhile we wont pay for DJ . This us why we make a profit of 10k on a turnover of 6 million quid. Absolute bs.
I like this
It is needed
Someone to push our poor video and social media team
I like how the pay is competitive
Itâs needed urgently when you read this âmarketingâ blurb:
âAll Members will receive a welcome pack with exclusive merchandise and a Membership Card. Season Ticket holders will also receive their Season Ticket card alongside the aforementioned welcome pack and Membership CardâŚâ
âAforementionedâ? Who wrote that, the club solicitor?
Youâre back with your personal grudge. You do realise and understand that âWhittakerâ doesnât have a âjobâ?,Heâs the SLO which means, in practice to date, he acts as a gobetween between fans and the club, bringing issues to their attention. Absolutely nothing to do with media and marketing and Iâm sure heâd be the first to say he is no expert in those areas.
Well done to the club again. This seems like a significant investment in an area that is very important and where there has been weakness. Many fans have called for thisâŚhere it is. The proof of the pudding, as they sayâŚ
Excellent post Shrops. As you rightly pointed out Graham doesnât have a paid âjobâ its all done on a voluntary basis. He is a go between for the fans to communicate with the club. He passes on complaints / requests to the appropriate departments within the club. This is a forward thing idea from Walsall FC. Marketing and fans experience are both important areas. Good luck to the person who is the successful applicant for this important task ahead.
