Carey 6 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 The content they've been putting out the last couple of months has been awful. It's got that bad, I've had to unfollow the account. The work they did last year was brilliant with the GIFs which got us a lot of coverage, but this year it's just putting out utter shite.

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 19 likes and 1 RT in 36 mins- will they be judged on those metrics? If there's any Social Media experts on here, is that fairly favourable or otherwise? FWIW, it didn't fit the mood well IMO. Are they chasing views though or?

bearded_red Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Had to unfollow last week. Almost an achievement in making the official account of the football team I support so irritating that I’d rather not hear from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 For me the thing about the social media content last season was its simplicity, it worked. This year they're trying to ram anything and everything down the audience's throat thinking they'll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Agree that the quality of the posts the club make have dropped to a level I didn't think was possible. Was it Lisa something or another who is head of media for Bristol Sport? Maybe she knows what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppello Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I came on here to make a similar post. I was uneasy with the fact that Adam Baker had left, given it was probably our most 'successful' season from a media perspective. Has he been replaced by a 16 year old work experience kid? The output this season has been dreadful and is actually embarrassing. It's amazing how social media has become the voice of the clubs. Without sounding dramatic, it really does make City feel like a different club and slightly alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I wasn't a particularly huge fan of Adam Baker but we're managing to keep finding new lows this season with our cringe-inducing tweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was chatting about this on the weekend, I don’t agree it’s good at all ( I’m embarrassed by it if I’m honest) but said it had been half term, aimed at the kids etc so kind of expected. My friend said that Twitter wasn’t for children, there is an age restriction when signing up so kids shouldn’t be on there anyway ( yes we know some are) but if this is the case, and I don’t know, then that’s even more stupid by the club than I thought.

David Brent Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 The digital guru responsible for this is getting paid £20k+..unless they still haven’t filled the vacancy. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/vacancy-bristol-city-social-media-executive/ All social media channels are cringeworthy now.

ChippenhamRed Posted November 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Encouraging to hear I’m not the only one who thinks it’s an embarrassment! I really think the club needs to reconsider the objectives of its social media output. Personally I think it’s number one priority should always be to provide information and insight that only the official account can provide. The gifs were genuinely original and entertaining but this is now a step too far in that direction, and it’s not remotely amusing. It just feels like the awkward Uncle at the family Christmas who tries too hard to be funny. A lot of official club accounts seem to try to do “banter” now (for want of a better word). Trouble is, a lot of people aren’t very good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Lansdown tries to rebrand the club’s social media output by getting rid of Adam in the summer, and judging by how it’s gone so far he and they have badly misjudged it.
