It boggles the mind how many directors and heads of marketing we need in government. Did we try marketing as a shared function and it failed? Or is this one 'arms length '? https://jobs.theguardian.com/job/8801972/head-of-marketing-cause-and-communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps she would like to make a public statement in Tynwald/Keys as to exactly what of a tangible nature this Department full of high flyers is actually achieving. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 1 minute ago, thommo2010 said: Guaranteed that job will be filled by someone who is retiring from another position Seems unlikely given the recruitment seems to be outsourced to Saxton Bampfylde who describe themselves as "a global, values-driven leadership advisory firm". Which presumably means we should expect another identikit bullshit merchant, only really skilled at marketing themselves. To be fair to MNH the job description does include fundraising and you could argue that the job should pay for itself if it's done right. And unfortunately external funding bodies and other groups that have to be engaged with (including the rest of the civil service) often expect someone who will talk the management gobbledegook talk to deal with. Which is depressing. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 To be fair I'd agree that MNH and IOM Tourism would need to have different Heads of Marketing. For one they are completely different entities and secondly if the MNH bod was doing the Tourism, it would just be about vikings, castles and trams.

When will it stop. This is misleading. We haven't had a change of culture. People still don't know where the Isle of Man is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 After years of scratching my head at these seemingly ridiculous and pointless job creation schemes that only cost us more money, and build liabilities for the future, I'm coming to the conclusion that they can't possibly be, in fact nobody could be, quite this stupid. They must know something that none of us do about the future funding of the Island. It's the only explanation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think lots do, but only a small percentage of them have any reason to come here, it's finance, motorbikes or a bit of scenery with the odd train/tram. We need a new unique attraction. I suggest 14 day tours of our civil service with detailed information on numbers and provenly productive activities on the way round.

At least we could be an 'add-on' for some of the millions of visitors who go to the Lake District every year. I remember when MNH was going to concentrate on the Scandinavian countries and have a Viking focus. What happened to that? How many Swedes and Norwegians came? https://manxnationalheritage.im/news/destination-viking-and-the-viking-cultural-route/ We're not even on the map. https://www.coe.int/en/web/cultural-routes/the-viking-routes Edited January 22 by Moghrey Mie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
