Credit to the PR and marketing team

[The Who]

I'm in the marketing profession, and it was pleasing to see how promptly and efficiently the Manly communications team jumped on the opportunity to 'parade' our two big Kiwi signings, Lewis and Marty, when they arrived at Sydney Airport. They had them dressed in Manly clothing, well-prepped and animated (not easy following the long flight from England) with all the necessary sponsor logos in the background.
The press conference was well attended and the footage etc appeared widely in the media.
Often this Forum has been critical of our marketing-related efforts, but I think this example may issue in a more professional approach among the communication team.
For all those responsible for the Sydney Airport initiative I say "well done".

Marketing yes - fan engagement has a ways to go

No. Joke Kelly and the Penn(i)s have ruined everything and deserve to be hung, drawn and quartered.

Somoeone probably acted out of line and will lose their job for this

I agree, very slick and organised. very positive to see that level of organisation behind the scenes. Must have saved the money from last year as we didn't even do a single press conference last year.

Did you have a Media blackout for 2014. There were lots of media conferences.

Ummm... @Shoe1, I think he was offering money to do the job, not umm, his 'package'. Can we leave the sexual propositions to the Eels forums?

Though Marty has gone from the 'best forward signing since Malcolm Reilly' to the 'best signing ever'.

What are they going to say about the next signing? .. The best signing ever in the history of all time ...
