Weihnachtsgrüße, Unterhaltungsformate für TikTok, Fotoshooting für das Merchandising, Interviews für eigene und externe – nicht zuletzt internationale – Medien, Aufsager für karitative Partner: Die Anfragen an die Lizenzspieler bei Bayer 04 sind vielfältig. Damit die Spieler in den Englischen Wochen nicht immer wieder zur Verfügung stehen müssen, haben die Verantwortlichen im vergangenen Jahr den PR- und Partner-Tag ins Leben gerufen, um möglichst viele Wünsche en bloc bedienen zu können und den Aufwand für die Spieler möglichst gering zu halten. Selbstverständlich sollen sich die Profis in erster Linie auf die sportlichen Leistungen sowie die notwendige Regeneration konzentrieren. Zwei- bis dreimal pro Halbserie finden diese Tage statt. Bayer04.de liefert Einblicke in den PR- und Partner-Tag von Dienstag:

Christmas greetings, entertainment formats for TikTok, a merchandising photo shoot, interviews for in-house and external – and last but not least international – media, support for charity partners: The requests to first team players at Bayer 04 are many and varied. To avoid repeated requests for the players to be be available during the double-fixture weeks, the management set up the PR and Partner day last year to be able to satisfy as many demands as possible at one go and minimise the demands on the players. Of course, the players primary focus is on sporting performances and the necessary regeneration. Nowadays, two to three of these events take place per half-season. Bayer04.de reports on the PR and Partner day on Tuesday.

#B04eSports: Double matchday this evening

The Bayer 04 eSports players have another double matchday: On Tuesday 24 November, the Leverkusen console players have two games in the Virtual Bundesliga (VBL) against clubs in the real second division.

Top spot for online shop

Seven different categories were examined in detail including online shops –Bayer 04 were the winners in this section. “The ranking of the shops covers the components of navigation, user experience and style/design and was assessed through a notional purchase process for ordering a shirt with printing,” was the explanation issued by nexum.
