There has been a noticeable drop in the quality of our social media over the last couple of seasons. Social media was something we were knocking out of the park a few years ago, so this sounds like a good change for us.

Not saying anything negative about the guy who has left us, he had an incredibly tough job to polish an increasingly stinky turd.
It's noticeable that Shirley doesn't appear to be responsible for digital like his predecessor. Agreed on the social media stuff, but I also think alot of the staff who worked in the team over the years have moved on (judging purely on the staff list on the club website).
I understood Shirley to be behind the original We Are Port Adelaide membership campaign. Does that ring a bell for anyone? Hopefully he can guide the club back to its roots and less off the shelf sports marketing.

Here's where the problem is.

PAFC's marketing team is neither fun nor innovative. These were the guys who completely ripped off Liverpool's ad and thought no one would either care or notice.

"Just so you know, the people who talk that way think that monkeys can do this. They take all this monkey crap and stick it in a briefcase, completely unaware that their success depends on something more than shoeshine. You are the product. You, feeling something. That's what sells. Not them. Not sex. They can't do what we do and they hate us for it."

The membership ad at the start of this year. The one where it said s**t like 'This is our home...these our fans' They ripped it straight from a real creative agency because they don't have any ideas themselves, and they pass it off as innovation?

Here's how I would do a membership ad.

EXT. ADELAIDE OVAL, NIGHT: A young girl is sitting in the stands. The guitar/drum riff of NTUA starts up...dun dun dun da da da da da da. With each pulse, a flash of an epic moment from the 2019 season flash across the screen. She stands up, puts her scarf over her head, and starts to sing 'We could live, for a thousand years...'

A clip of Xavier Duursma's bow and arrow celebration is played, and another voice joins with the girl - when the camera shifts back to the stands, we see that her older brother has joined in '...but if I hurt you, I'll make wine from your tears...'

Cut to images from the draft with Picks 12 and 18 getting their jumpers...another two voices join in: 'I told you, that we could fly...' the camera cuts back to show the two kids standing with their parents singing next to them. 'Cause we all have wings...but some of us don't know why...'

A montage of big grabs from the 2019 season. Now more voices have joined in - that section of the stand is now full of people. 'I...I was standing...'

The camera slowly pulls back, and starts to move up into the air. The whole stand of people are chanting. '...you were there...two worlds collided...' We see that their are players on the field...a game is about to begin.

The camera is now looking down on Adelaide Oval - it's filled with people chanting:

'...and they could never tear us apart!'.

New logo. Siren sounds.

Done.

Kind of like this, but instead of being a direct rip off, it's used for inspiration:

It does. I recall reading it was his idea to put all the teal t-shirts on the seats at AO.

I'm now confused.
Are we members, supporters, fans or consumers?
(I'm not really confused - they are)

Why shouldn't the job be fun? Success is fun.
If you are not factoring in family, friends, finances, fitness, freedom and fun into very decision you make I think you are doing it wrong.

You and I are either customers, or campaigners - or both.
