Letter From the
Event Manager
Dear James,
I am writing to thank you for your high quality involvement with the recent Eureka Rally as our Media Manager.
In returning a favour to an old friend you responded well beyond what was reasonable, given that there was little budget and no plan for media and promotion.
As it was over thirty years since your last involvement with media at an Australian Rally Championship event, it was impressive how you brought some of the forgotten old style media approach, but went to great lengths to research, understand and maximise the current rally community’s addiction to Facebook.
Your energy and innovation in bringing different angles with the “spectator way”, service park sound and light stories, and the “people behind the scenes” vignettes was appreciated.
We gave you some challenges in terms of having to work with some media partner restrictions, which you handled most diplomatically.
If and when we stage Eureka Rally in 2019, we would love to have you in the Media Manager role again, with a decent budget and a plan prepared in advance that builds on your great work this year.
Thanks once again for your part in staging a very positively received 2018 The Courier Eureka Rally.
