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.”

    “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.
