Maddy McDermott is the Communications Manager and her skill-sets would appear to be PR. Alas, a search of her Linked in profile shows her employment history starting off with 2 and a half years at the Melbourne Rabbles, followed by a 5 month stint at a PR agency before heading to the UK and working at IMG on the Tennis Desk before rocking up at the Broncos where she's nearly done 2 years. Her interests as shown on Linked include Rugby Union and Cricket....so we've an Aussie from AFL land who likes Union.....
Amanda Purcell is the Commercial Manager at the club. She has a high level of Sports knowledge, having gained her degree from a US private University. She has held a number of roles since gaining her degree and she's a pretty sharp Golfer as well.
Neil Reynolds is used as a match day announcer and he helps out with the 'MEDIA" when he can, but he is a freelancer.
So the short answer is that the club has a PR department and a Commercial Department as well as a bloke who does what Chris Warren used to do back at Griffin Park but no, no marketing department
The Club don't need a marketing department so long as it has someone in place to write the cheques.
As for the mention of the Marketing Guru from the past, I find it amusing that even after years of banishment, he still gets mentioned on here and the sign of a good marketer is that your message is remembered long after you're gone, so I am sure he'd be flattered by your comments.
