What has the ECF Marketing Director done for us?

[Alex McFarlane]

We all know what the Romans did for Britain, but can anyone tell me what Tim Woolgar has done for the ECF?

I can list a few things he hasn't done (or at least are not visible) but has he actually done anything positive?

What he hasn't done.
a) Produced anything explaining the new membership scheme
b) Produced any promotional material for the British Championship
c) Made any suggestions on better promoting the British Championships
d) Done anything to enhance the President's (diminishing) reputation

What he has done.
a) Told the British Manager he will get back to her when he was less busy.

Perhaps the ECF officials who read this (Adam R, Alex H, Andrew F, Mike G to name but a few) will be kind enough to enlighten us. I had hoped that one of the documents for the ECF Council meeting might have thrown a little illumination on the subject but it appears not.

Not this candidate 89

Judea, surely?

I suspect that Not this Candidate may do rather better next time around.

I did receive unsolicited chess boxing marketing email (including to this address) so it would be nice to clarify if any ECF lists have been made available externally?

I never opted in to anything and had to unsubscribe so a check with the information commissioner might be in order

Anyone else?

[John Upham]

Wearing my BCM hat I would claim that none of us have received any communications from the Director of Marketing.

Without the above hat on I believe I have binned items from the Director of ChessBoxing.

Any news on my suggestion for the creation of the role of Director of Communications? This might be more to the point.

I did not receive any chess boxing marketing material to the email address I gave to the ECF (and where I receive occasional legitimate ECF emails). Unless they hand-picked addresses, I'd say the ECF might not be responsible for those.

Looks like ECF Officials have no idea what he has done either ..... or is there a Board decision to ignore all questions from me (not just emailed ones)?

There's a personal decision from me to answer questions that aren't my responsibility to answer. The question you asked is best answered by Andrew, or another full Board member.

Ask me questions about the Voting Register, Counties Championship, or anything else I'm responsible for answering, and an answer will be provided.

The only other information I could usefully provide for you is that I believe Andrew is on holiday, and Mike is probably otherwise engaged running the Surrey Congress/Rapidplay.

[Alex McFarlane]

Alex,

you are privvy to Board minutes and as such I assume that you would receive regular updates from the Marketing Director. You're answer seems to indicate that this is not happening. Is this because you haven't received minutes or because you haven't heard from the Marketing Director?

In passing, I can confirm a sighting of the Marketing Director at the Finance Council Meeting. He didn't express a view on anything, and looked like he might die of boredom for significant periods (understandably...). But still, I am sure his loved ones will be happy to hear he is safe and well.

In fairness, what business transacted at today's meeting required any significant input from the Marketing Director?

The ECF wants a lot of individuals to become members of itself. Classic territory for marketing surely, "grow the business".

[John Upham]

I was puzzled that when questions were asked that were the remit of the DoM they were answered by either the Chairperson or the CEO.

I left the meeting for five minutes but at no point (apart from that) did I notice a contribution from the DoM.

One might think (pace Keene) that the reluctant benefit of the doubt given to CJ was quite a bad result, coming as it did from the same Council which apparently thought that TW might be at all appointable as a Director.
