Why UW Marketing Sucks; Ryan Madayag Edition

If you want to see why the UW Marketing Department is a shit show, this article is a link inside the brain of the Director of Marketing and Game Day Experience.

This is the first person Jen Cohen should have fired. His ideas in this article scream incompetence, and he is, in fact, incompetent.

Here is a little clip from the article:

He said emphasis is also placed on entertaining halftime shows and talented national anthem performers.

“We wanted to book those that are associated with the community and to highlight some of the great artists that we have in town,” Madayag said. “Also, I was in charge of selecting some of the cheerleaders — you’ve got to have great dancers and great entertainment at the games, and those are really some of the things that attracted fans like my mom.”

    Here is a podcast he did a few years back, I have not listened yet. I need to get in the right emotional mindset before I can.

    “Really, I wasn’t just marketing to the football fans or sports fans, I was marketing to people like my mom to make it a party, an event,” Madayag said.

    FUCK IT ALL.

    So, non sports fans are going to shell out $150/200 for a pair of tickets to watch *Fat, hairy, non-athletic cheerleaders and a national anthem singer?

    No fucking wonder the stadium isn't sold out.

    They won't be doing that sort of thing at Autzen that's for sure.

    BTW what time does the gang bang start anyway?

    I know you are being sarcastic but this sounds like a fun event for my 6 year old son and I.

    So piss off.

    He should look into how the Seahawks seem to sell out every home game.

    If this fuckstick thinks his target market is mommy, then that is exactly who it will be. Too bad he is missing the mark on actual football fans who want a winning team and care little for the extraneous bullshit. I don't give a flying FUCK what our game day experience is like. The only thing I care about is the score on that fucking scoreboard.

    Figure. It. Out.

    Or don't. Roll Tide I guess.

    I'll probably continue being numb to this program and eventually leave the state. You pussies can keep it.

    It says something about how much I care about UW football that I still voluntarily talk about it on the internet, but it says far more that I won't touch this program with a 10 foot pole.

    The anthem singer should be thrown into the cut and given the Luca Brasi treatment ... I make it a point to time my arrival for after that blowhard finishes the anthem

    A blowhard avoiding a blowhard.

    Sell beer in the stadium. No beer in the student section. Attendance and game day atmosphere problem solved. You're welcome.
