Our socials are boring.. simple as that.

We haven’t done anything in the last few years to gain any young kids to follow our socials. 
 

sounds silly but this is why we need another small forward like Watson to bond and team with Kozzy and hope they both star together. It’ll be appealing to watch and you’d follow to see highlights. 

I know young kids aren’t really going to follow to watch Trac cook. They want the over the top goal celebrations, they want the silly wizards hats and they’d want the Koltyn Glasses. 
 

Exactly. Kids don't care about the news, it's boring. 

Kids want to see zany antics, wow factor, dancing, animals close up with a wide-angled lens etc.

Most definitely. The worst of the Victorian Clubs

Potential sponsors will most definitely be looking at those figures too when making decisions.

I find it staggering that the MFC cannot employ some IT kids part time to run all the Socials 

It really should be part of this review 

Get Ben Gibson back on board!!!

When tiktok and instagram are a reason to think about moving club, something is very wrong

This is Footy FFS

Who is talking about moving clubs?

This is about attracting new supporters and sponsors, and engaging supporters who are non committal.

This is 2024 FFS. Social media presence really matters in such a lucrative market!

Busy earning money unlike wastrels from other clubs

Yo @Demonland let us know what the FriendFeed numbers look like eh?

And look at the age profile then size it up against age group spending patterns.  That won't bode well for mfc.

A lot more marketing $ goes into social media platforms than ever before. 

I’d be happy to stick my hand up and take over the club’s social media accounts.

This entire thread is.

At the risk of sounding like an old fuddy duddy, I can't imagine ever having a Twitter or Instagram account and I think I'm all the better for it.  The PR guys can do their thing for the youngsters but if watching football isn't enough for people then I don't get it

Think I'll go shake my fist at a cloud now!

Drive our socials by piggy backing the Pies.......Roast them, bag them, make fun of them, play up to our rivalry but make sure we occasionally beat them.

3- We are terrible at promoting our brand. We have plenty of marketable and 'cult hero' players on our list. Gawn, Trac, Kozzie, Rivers, Roo, Kolt are ALL players you could really market. Hell you could get 20,000 teenagers to follow our social media if Rivers and Roo did some sort of semi regular 'thirst trap' posting (tasteful of course!).
Instead we show a lot of 'family club' content, which is lovely for the Facebook users, but has zero cut thru on Instagram and TikTok. 

As I was reading through the last few pages of this thread to catch up, this is precisely what I was thinking.  We need to be presenting the younger players on those platforms that are used by today’s youth!

Facebook is no longer a thing for them, it’s now all Instagram and Tik Tok… they want short, to the point, even zany, clips that make them interested in what you have to offer; then they will click on ‘Follow’. They don’t even necessarily have to be directly football related, but just show that the subject in focus has a connection to the club.

I would even like to see them pay Brayshaw to come and do the Gus and Gawn segment again… it doesn’t need to be football related, but could be a good platform for exposing the likes of Kossie, Kolt, Disco, Windsor and so on, pushing their personalities more than their sporting prowess.

Just my two bits worth.

Why can't the club utilise the Dees fans currently already making popular, great and relevant content, like Caden Mcdonald and Broden Kelly?

I am standing next to you. I don't understand why we have to spend millions on a overseas performer on GF day. Isn't the game enough?

i've always thought the only relevant "content" is what you see on game day

I'm touched by the vote of confidence George but ..... I somehow doubt that my KPI's would align with the err ..... shall we say "virtues" of the club.

These stats look pretty made up. That all 18 teams have numbers that increment by exactly 1,000 makes me question how these are calculated.

It’s the cultural cringe.

Cados has almost 100k subscribers on YT. Probably one of the most prominent footy figures on that platform.
