Video Summary
Anna, Commercial Manager at Aberdeen Football Club, explains that her role covers hospitality, sponsorship, advertising, and events, including matchday experiences, dinners, golf days, and awards. She says football is a uniquely emotional sales environment where business decisions are strongly tied to fan loyalty and club identity. When she joined, she identified problems in systems, team spirit, and new-business focus, then made changes: improving commissions for new sales, restructuring staff roles to suit personalities, and freeing salespeople from admin so they can spend more time with clients. She emphasizes authenticity, respect, and understanding that football is more like a religion than a brand. Anna also highlights the launch of Aberdeen’s women’s team and the importance of selling that initiative authentically, not as a token add-on. Her current challenge is maximizing commercial opportunities in Aberdeen’s new stadium while preserving what makes the experience valuable to clients.
