Episode #12 - Liverpool - Premier League Champions - A Chat with The Anfield Wrap's Craig Hannan

Hosts Mick and Jay were joined on Thursday afternoon by Craig Hannan from the The Anfield Wrap to discuss the exhilarating 3-1 win over Man City at Anfield on Sunday.The lads dissected the individual performances and highlighted why Trent seems to have stepped his game up even further this season. Craig described why he believes Trent’s ceiling can’t be predicted as he is just that good.The lads also took a question from one of our Twitter followers about the significance of Andy Robertson’s absence in the Ballon d’Or running after seeing seven of our guys in one joint photograph and discussed why some of Robbo’s work seems to go under the radar.As the 19/20 season is 12 games old and basically a third in – the lads discussed some of the Goals of the Season so far and who they thought their Players of the Season were.The final topic was on The Anfield Wrap’s #Mbappé2020 hashtag which took all social media by storm and helped feed this rumour that had already started to piece together. Will we see Mbappé in an LFC shirt in 20/21? If we do, we owe a lot to The Anfield Wrap!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Anfield Wrap's Craig Hannan, beating Man City & why #Mbappé2020 proved the power of fan media!

How important is copy within you Marketing Strategy, well it turns out very - and we’ll find out why later. But before all that, I’d like to introduce Craig Hannan, the Head of Branding and Marketing at The Anfield Wrap, an award winning, independent podcast, website and radio show all about Liverpool Football Club. It’s Craig’s responsibility to drive growth within the company via subscriptions, live events, merchandise, sponsorship and a whole host of other activities that are focused clearly on a passionate footballing demographic. Now this was quite a lengthy interview compared to some of the Marketing Study Lab episodes. I put this down to the passion we both have for Marketing, Football and Liverpool – So apologies, but no apologies cause I enjoyed it and I hope you do to – If you’re into Marketing or Football, this is definitely the episode for you. But before we get into things, I need to know is purple is the new red? Takeaways - The power of a marketing strategy. Most people when they think of marketing think of a comms mix – the front of house (advertising, direct mail, social media, etc) but Craig highlighted that a strong strategy can help to change the culture of a company. It provides a focus for the entire ogranisation, where no other department is in a position to do this. - Don’t be afraid to get creative and implement your own ideas. But make sure you mix these ideas with actual data to back them up, they hold more relevance that way. Take the Anfield Wrap for example, described as fanzine culture for the digital age. They could have kept to the tradition print fanzine, but spotted a niche, a gap in the market, white space and weren’t afraid to be the first to try it. - As much as Marketers hate to admit it, word of mouth is one of, if not the best marketing tool we have (damn those mouths) – this is especially so in a passionate industry such as football. Using these loyal fans, advocates, to promote your own products and services, combined with a robust communication strategy can be a powerful combination. And remember to listen to the customer, giving them what they want, not what you want. How Important is copy? The short answer is very. You wouldn't be listening to me now if it wasn't for an audio version of some copy and you certainly wouldn't have heard of half of the organisations and brand that you hold dear if it wasn't for copy, be it in the form of a script, blog, social posts, literature, advertising. Basically the majority of the comms channels you can think of, then add some more. But why? Here are some short snippets to explain: - It creates trust – If your copy is consistent and correct, this adds a layer of trust - Words are sharable – Especially on social channels and are more likely to be read than a video is to be listened to (unless the video uses copy)! - SEO – Digitally speaking, optimisation is all about the copy and as we all know, if you’re not on the first page of Google, you’re not on Google - It makes for a good UX – Everyone loves a great image and a slick webpage, but if the copy isn’t correct, this can detract from the user experience and leads to clicks away from your site - And finally, it sells, as it appeals to your target audience, and we’re back to the - know, like and trust theory.
