Good to see the club doing something about it's marketing

Just had a sneaky look on LinkedIn and it seems the firm has been working with us since Jan 2014 – not exactly breaking news. The only new bit is we now have more people involved, which is a bonus I suppose.

It seems this company was responsible for the business club last season, which was a fantastic thing, hopefully we can build the same sort of relationship with the average man off the street.

I hope they do a good job, but, call me cyncal if you will, I've never trusted a marketing firm that can't pick a name distinct enough to find them fast on google (try it).

Perhaps it's not Just R but just r.

You could be right are kid



Any sort of promotional team must be better than previously, I still say we miss a trick by not trying too get Salford uni involved, they run a marketing degree and surely for them too get the chance of working for someone like the Doc who when/if they qualify is a very eminent businessman with many contacts in the local (and world wide) business community must be a good selling point too them.

It's made the business pages of the MEN, so they're on the case already.

This sounds promising
although I'm not sure what "up selling" is in this context. Persuading them to move to the West Stand maybe.


Brilliant. Someone who can't spell a two letter word correctly taking the out of someone who can't spell a three letter one. Like two eunuchs arguing over who's got the biggest balls.




The problem with getting the university involved is that they aren't around for the whole season. As Chico has said elsewhere, the students are really only available September to Easter, so they're away for a fair chunk of the rugby season. They'll be available for our Grand Final appearance though.

Let's put the whole, to, too, two thing away. I'm dyslexic and it's something I struggle getting my head around. I know in my what it should be but it doesn't register when I type it incorrectly. The are kid reference is a joke mainly between the Butcher and myself.

As for the students not being around for the full season surely that is then when you say when your studies/term is over you come work for the club, earn a wage and gain valuable experience.

I also think more could be done in conjunction with Sale, I know many think they are the enemy but playing during different seasons for me has the advantage of selling year round exposure via different markets, I think someone with real marketing savvy would see many possibilities for this.

Yeah, VIP and dining you’d imagine.





I think the club has had a better reputation with marketing to businesses. I know a few at our place, including a former chairman of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, have mentioned to me about some business lunch type of things they have been to in the past, with particular reference to the Foundation. I know at Man Met there are specific sports marketing and sport directorship degrees (Ashley Giles is currently studying on the latter), and I'm sure Salford do similar. So I'm sure if there are not any links here already, there's scope for something.
