The Angels new Social Media person

[Billy_Ball]

At least I think so.  I just noticed recently that their Twitter/Instagram/Facebook posts have been funnier and offbeat more than before.

I wish they'd hire the guy that does the Wendy's twitter. Imagine the fun...

[T.G.]

Good stuff for sure.  It's good to see them embracing the opportunities with humor.

It's a woman. I actually did a paper on her, that's not the only one she runs. She's damn good at her job.

I too noticed the "change" in how the Angels did their social media! I like the way it's being done now!

[notherhalo]

too bad its not Lyle Spencer

TRADE FOR JEFF MATHIS!!!

[KelvinWells]

Who is this guy? I don't seem to recall him

More humorous is always good. If we don't laugh during these miserable seasons we're liable to jump off a bridge or something.

Weird

I heard that the textile guy who sits behind home plate is doing their social media posts now.

It is so very strange, how did this four year-old post not get bumped by @Taylor?

[m0nkey]

I am going to say either Kelvin Wells or Jon Rasmussen is the social media person

I met someone from the Angels social media department over at Inland. He was covering O'Hoppe's rehab assignment. He joked he had spent so much time shooting Logan and getting soundbites that Logan will probably turn and run if he sees him again. Can't remember the guys name but he was very personable and I can see players being comfortable with him being around.

In the Tim Mead episode of the Angelswin podcasts he talks about how Angelswin really opened up the club to understanding the benefit of getting the minor leaguers some media attention, promoting their brand and also getting them used to taking interviews so when they do hit the majors they would be more comfortable in front of the camera.

I thought he was just too cheap and lazy, turns out he's actually just a huge moron... I suppose we shouldn't be surprised since it's practically in his name.

Most billionaires are cheap, lazy, and huge morons.

I doubt Arte got where he is by being lazy... more than likely his hands on nature probably did wonders in the billboard business. Unfortunately baseball is not billboards.

I'm sure he worked very hard at a certain point in his life. Got some lucky breaks, some good timing, etc. and now he thinks he's a genius who can run a professional sports team.

If you look back to when Chuck started doing minor league reports and interviews of prospects, no ball club was involved in social media simply because most of it didn't exist. No Twitter or Instagram, there were independent sites like this but all MLB had going was it's fan message board with literally no support or moderation. 

Mead kinda broke ground putting some guys from a fan site in the press box and giving them field credentials for both minor and the major league clubs. Clubs as in he even got press passes for out of town games.

So if Mead is doing this it was with Carpino and Moreno's blessing. That eventually lead to Arte speaking at the Angelswin Spring Training fanfest and opened the doors to some great events. We pretty much were the first in a lot of categories interacting with the big club. They saw the advantages and upped their game but many teams lagged behind the Angels in social media exposure. 

Not everything Moreno is bad.
