New podcast webThere are over 2000 clubs in the UK non-league football pyramid across England, Scotland and Wales, this is the story of how Nairn County in tier 5 of Scottish football approach their marketing.
Hosted by Michael Bochel, a freelance Sports Marketing Consultant and former Head of Digital at the Scottish FA who volunteers with his hometown club, Nairn County.
Michael’s purpose for the podcast series is to share his experiences of helping out the club in his own spare time while living over 150 miles away. He hopes that it might resonate with others who are volunteering at their local club, spark some ideas and more importantly learn from his mistakes.
On the final podcast, Michael goes through the process of kit design all the way to launch and how the massively popular TeamHamish Rainbow Third Kit came about for the club and the success it has had.A post-live note from Michael: I stupidly forgot to mention on the podcast that £10 from every adult shirt sale and £5 from every kids sale goes back to TeamHamish.
