Olé Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I expect nothing less than elite team sport communications from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nest Egg Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Was never a fan of letting Adam go, but this guy seems to have one hell of a CV. Doubt he will be able to bond with fans the way Adam did though, he really went the extra mile for so many that needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Well, at least Lee won’t have to stand on a box when being interviewed from now on............ or am I being ‘heightest’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarksRobin Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Three world cups with England rugby. He has plenty of experience dealing with exasperated fans then. Welcome Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 He will be far better technically then Adam, but will never be able to match Adam in terms of his in depth knowledge of our club and our past.

RedM Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 A hard act to follow for sure. Our media might be a bit more polished from now on but perhaps not written from the heart like a fan did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 20 years of living in the Bristol area to add to his experience, if he's had an interest in football over that time too then seems an excellent appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Ben Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Quite the CV. And lives in Bristol. Seems like a near perfect appointment... Makes me wonder if in fact Adam Baker was jettisoned so that we could bring this chap in. Either way, best of luck to him. I imagine his remit is wider than interviewing new signings, I wonder if we’ll notice a step change in our national profile now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_s Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I hate to seem dumb but what is the remit of a head of communications? Please don't say "communicating" as I just about get that bit it's the scope of what he's communicating that I don't understand. In fairness he worked for the WDP. It's hardly a huge step up the ladder of excrement from the EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advises management and players what to say, how he feels it may come across etc is one part of the role... if you notice a lot of premiship interviews that sky sports show there is always head of commutation presence and quite a lot of the time they end the interview if they know it’s heading down a certain path.

I work with a very good friend of Adam’s and he has told me that he definitely didn’t leave of his own accord. His ‘quality time with the family’ message was posted two weeks later and was just a case of taking the positives from an awful situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate, I’ve got loads of experience of this....a Head of Communications is responsible for defining and implementing internal and external communications plans including media relations, digital and social media campaigns, event management, reputational and crisis management and communicating directly with employees, consumers (fans), investors and sponsors.....the person in that position is the first point of contact for all stakeholders...it’s a high pressure position, you are a spokesperson for a high profile organisation in a 24/7 world - often having to deal with confrontational, aggressive approaches...it’s far from an easy role...you have to stick your head above the parapet whilst others run for cover and you are the public face of the organisation you represent....

Phileas Fogg Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 This looks like a top appointment based on his credentials. The type of content I personally like is the in depth interviews with people like Steve Allen, Johnson, Tinnion etc so I hope we get more of that sort of thing. Interesting to see how our media pans out this year. The Gif thing worked really well, but I don’t think such success was anticipated - I wonder how we’re going to build on that. Speaking of social media; I had felt that recently our social media ‘voice’ had gone a bit Plymouth Argyle and it didn’t really work. The Bristol Bears social media is pretty silly and comes across as annoying so I hope we don’t do that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
