Leicester City Social Media

[JonesLCFC]

Whoever is running the social media accounts has to be on the wind-up. Constant posts about how brilliant our absolutely shite players are doing during the international break - like we give one solitary shit. Read the room. The club’s on its arse in all departments!

[foxile5]

It'll be run by some fresh-from-a-marketing-course twenty something with absolutely no investment in the club or football in general.

 

They'll be thinking they're doing a great job.

[niyaminski]

Whoever the head of PR is needs the sack. Either that or they're being told to be this thick from someone higher up.

 

- emails from the club asking why we missed a game when we lost the game 3-0

- emails straight after a loss trying to sell more tickets

- social media posts trying to sell our 3rd kit

- completely forgetting Popov is one of our players

- not showing u21 or u18 on the official media accounts

- emails from the club as to how to improve atmosphere then continuing to ignore every suggestion

- the most horrendous half time and full time post captions when we lose on instagram and twitter

The list could go on and on. 

 

One of my mates' dads is the head of social media at Burnley. He says it's really not that difficult a job when you're trusted to post what you feel fits the situation (and you're winning of course!).

Their latest post trying to flog the away kit at reduced price, seriously?

[Nolucklcfc]

The interviews after the games put my head on mars. One of the questions after the Brentford game was whether it was a positive that it wasn’t worse in the second half. Can’t stand this PC bullshit the club put out. You can see the Trend throughout the club though, focus on false positives and ignore the obvious problems. 

[fox_favourite]

To summarise - They're muppets.

a part of it imo anyway is done cos some of the players have massive egos

so to make them feel "special"

even tho they couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery

I get they don't want to be over reactionary but it's completely tone deaf.

 

It's just this constant missing of the mark in basically every department which grinds people's perception of the club down.

“Great to see you Khun Top”

[AjcW]

I posted this in the Faes thread but to be honest I was close to starting my own thread with it.

This.... this is the problem.... as it is throughout the club.

 

Their leader is another to add to the "been here forever, jobs a piece of piss" crew.....

 

 

 

Just to add to this the rest of the team.... 

Marketing manager has been there 10 years

Brand Manager has never been a brand manager before

Marketing exec has been there for 7 years with zero desire to progress.

Head of Media... 13 years in role

Head of Content/Brand.... 17 years at the club

Content Manager.... 10 years at the club

 

 

It's absolutely hillarious. No chance to progress, no desire to progress, no fresh ideas whatsoever. 

 

The 'newest' employee has still been there longer than tiktok has even existed.

The club has outgrown so many. We still have the spine of staff that were there in league one. 
 

We then never capitalised on winning the premier league on the pitch and most definitely didn’t off it.

[Nalis]

You can spot in it a mile off when they are trying to do an on trend soundbite but either the trend has been and gone or, it doesn't really work, either way it can be total cringe.

 

It's like seeing a divorced dad trying to use cool words to reconnect with his teenage daughter.

So, thank you Leicester City for letting me know it's International Greek Independence Day!

 

We now know that someone's bought them an international events calendar to go with their political one! Whoopee, we could be getting inundated with such valuable information now.

 

As much as I genuinely love the Greek people, this is no more than another example of corporate 'look how inclusive we are' nauseating creeping nonsense. Is it any wonder they're in a mess. I suppose you can't polish a turd but you can try and fool a few by sprinkling it in glitter? 

 

Stick to football!

Which member of the men's first team coaching staff are you under the impression is making these posts, or what coaching role the social media team are performing?

I basically agree re: read the room, but so much of social media output is based on quantity and not necessarily quality, to be getting interactions etc. So in that respect they are doing their job well.

As someone in the industry, that's not true.

 

Long term their results would improve ten fold if they posted once a day* rather than fifteen times. It's trickier for football clubs than other industries, we'd probably all think the club was folding if they went a day without posting.... but they could massively cut down and significantly improve engagement.

The algorithms now are based on engagement per post and ours is shocking because some of the posts are dreadful. One great post a day would see engagement and growth shoot up.

 

Matchdays being an exception of course*

Ah fair enough, I stand corrected.

I was making the presumption based on my own experience of running band social media accounts and stuff, we are told to just post as much as possible, but I suppose thats just to maximise the possibility of engagement.

[MattFox]

Our sponsors had the most viewed tweet in twitter history

 

Surely we are doing an amazing job?

I think spray and prey has deffo worked in the past. But certainly being flipped on its head now, especially by META (probably why we post slightly less on Insta)

[Livid]

Not just us though is it. It’s all about the clicks and likes.
