Cool Alumni Jobs- the sports media manager Duration: 03:51
I'm Chris Gottaas, Media and Communications Manager for Netball Australia I guess that's the joy about my job there's no such thing as a typical day. every day is different depending on the time of year that is so there's different and various media requests are coming so we deal with those we have everything from content meetings that look after our website and our digital communications channels we're pitching stories based on the time of year, whether it's internationals or ANZ championships so there's no such thing as a typical day but in nutshell it's on making sure that we're producing engaging content for our digital comms channels and also promoting our athletes and our sport through traditional media on tour they're long and hectic days but that's why we do it I'm really there in a in a support role for the diamonds and and the players off the courts so my job is to try to make them household names to promote them and promote their personal brands as well so it will typically involve a team meeting in the morning where I'll let them know about what's going on from there we'll moving to a training session, I'll typically do a couple interviews before training session cut those up and provide them to national broadcasters take pictures and provide those to print newspapers and web and from those interviews all all rights and articles for our website typically do a media release and hold a presser training and then produce any content whether it's uploading to Instagram or creating a photo gallery on Facebook or and editorial story for the website so its at my mornings is Content Collection and my afternoons is a producing and getting that out I think the best thing about my job is the variety that it gives me, it's certainly not a a desk job there's some administrative work that needs to take place which isn't necessarily the the fun bit but you've got to do it, but the the best bit is working with an incredible group of athletes who are incredibly conscious of their roles responsibilities and their brands and their role within promoting the sport so it's a pleasure waking up every morning and doing what I can to help them and it's a two-way street they help help us the same time so it's fun work in sport it's really hard to complain I love sports so the fact that I can get up every day and in go to work and it's not really a job, it's something you love doing then it's a passion more than anything else so to go to work and and granted a lot the weekends are taken up but its a small sacrifice to make to help the sport and obviously there's stuff like international travel which we get to do which is always a fun bit but yeah it's it's really hard to complain about working love it
