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. The first match at 18.00 CET against Hamburg SV is followed by the game against VfL Bochum at 20.00 CET.

The live show on the in-house Bayer 04 Twitch channel starts at 17.45 CET. Log on and support the #B04eSports players.

Top spot for online shop

According to a recent analysis, the best place to shop is at – Bayer 04: The digital advice service and agency nexum put together a digital ranking of the 18 Bundesliga clubs on behalf of kicker. 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.

In the overall ranking, Bayer 04 are in third place. RB Leipzig have been named digital champions with Eintracht Frankfurt second.

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in.
