CC looking for help (again)

Post by timmyj » Tue Feb 20, 2018 11:50 am

See CC's advertising for two apparently full time positions. One's for
"Brand and Marketing Manager". Gonna be very interesting to see
who they get for this position given the person they picked for the last
CEO, who had basically the same responsibilities as this new
position, was a total disaster. :oops: :oops: :oops: ICC paying for these positions?

Got to wonder whether some of the bolded duties of the Brand and Marketing manager are related to the proposed "pro" T20 league. I don't think there is much call for "marketing of match tickets" otherwise in the near-to-medium term. The "Sponsor and donor relationship management" requirement comes a decade late. That was an obvious deficiency in the loss of the ScotiaBank sponsorship.

Managing the CC website and social media was happening back in 2012/2013 and then abandoned with the change in leadership. It's good they realize this to be an important part of promoting the game and gaining corporate sponsorship.

Should I hold my breath waiting for a Cricket Canada National Stadium? A proper international calibre stadium would be good but who would fill the place? There are also the calls for several volunteer committee positions so possibly, and I hope, CC is really getting it together administratively.

Let's see if CC even announces who they hire...they've been less than
open with their hires in the past.

Has CC filled the positions? Or is it going to be like the last CEO:
take six months to hire someone.... who then turns out to be a total bust. :o :o :o

I wonder whether these hires have been made yet.

Brand and Marketing Manager
The social media platform is actively promoting GT20 but it is very basic - no interaction with Facebook users. The website is lagging badly behind.

Advisor: Policy and Special Projects
No evidence of this hire being made yet but it is probably too early anyway to be working on the stated duties of the position. Many of those duties would only be relevant if the GT20 tournament is a success and there are actual funds available for Cricket Canada's projects (whatever those are).

Still no one I guess although I would learn of it on this forum. I just noticed that there is a shop on the CC website. I, at least, had a bit of trouble registering and logging in although that was probably largely my fault. Anyway, it didn't matter because every item is out of stock and the description of one item was not relevant to the product and sort of bizarre. The Fanzone is "under construction". "Brand and Marketing Manager"? Hello?
