Wellington Phoenix Marketing

Who does the marketing for the Wellington Phoenix? And why are there still buses with Kosta Barbarouses around town? A tad embarassing. 

The Phoenix have no control on when their advertising gets taken off. They pay for a period of time, and get it. If nobody else is paying for the period after, NZ Bus don't bother taking the ad off.

It's the same reason why you can sometimes see billboards up for movies that came out 6 months ago.

As I said nz bus are gone, they're just going through the motions until their contact expires.

Tranzit has sixty percent of routes, go wellington have 28% but most of those are individually contacted not tendered and negotiations are on going. Tranzit was only allowed to take 60% of the network so if another player  comes for those remaining routes then it seems likely that Go Wellington will lose those as well.

How much does it cost to change out a billboard? Cost is probably the reason why the Phoenix advertise up to four games on a billboard right?

Buses also still have "go catch X-air". That was about 10 years ago.

realistically the average Joe doesn't even know who Kosta is or whether or not he still plays for us, all they see is an ad for the Nix. Gotta be more good in that than bad

Kosta must be due to score an own goal for us then

Think Nix have done well here. Should get good crowd number for Duras record equaling game. 

Jan 27th Dura members' loyalty reward

Saturday 27 January marks a very special landmark – as we take on Adelaide United we’ll be lead out by captain Andrew Durante for his 278th Hyundai A-League appearance – the equal most appearances by anyone in the history of the competition.

Dura has been a stalwart of this football club, a leader and a legend for the Phoenix, but more than anything over ten seasons with the club he’s shown unswerving loyalty to the yellow and black.

And so have you!

To thank all our members this season we’d like to extend a very special offer for our next home game – if you have a membership with the Phoenix you can bring up to two mates, on us!

In coming days you’ll receive an email from Ticketek with the details of how to redeem your unique password to access the two free tickets.

And if that’s not enough – if you and your friends are in the stadium Saturday night you’ll go in the draw to win $4000 dollars: more than enough to cover the ten years of adult gold memberships some of you have purchased to support Dura and Phoenix this past decade!

So let’s make it a night to remember for a very special leader, player and captain – and pay tribute to both Andrew’s loyalty, and yours.

Come on you Nix!
