Podcast Two: Joel Price is the Face of New Media for the San Diego CHARGERS
Joel Price has been the Manager of New Media for the San Diego Chargers for 9 Seasons. Joel talks with Angie and Becky about how the CHARGERS’ message boards are one of their most popular tools. Joel discusses how he has seen “So much action and passion on our message boards” for years. The CHARGERS consider their message boards a “Virtual Tailgate” and have 8 moderators for their boards who are all FANS. He also adds a few lessons 1) Even though people tend to forget about message boards and they aren’t the sexiest social media tool, you must use what your fans want, 2) Don’t be afraid to switch platforms. The CHARGERS started out with another message board tool and realized the fans liked something else better so they switched, and 3) We allow “Trash Talk” and we don’t mind opposing teams coming on our boards. You want to foster the REAL experience.
