Yet another good effort. The constant flow of digital media is great to see:

Another promo about Hull FC. It would be great if they are going to do this for each team, which presumably they are:

And Hull KR's:

The game is now really churning out quality content like we have never seen before.

They are doing a great job in promoting building up towards the start of the new SL season.

I read a piece about the new radiator mascot has generated big interest.  Apparently Paul Heaton is interested! Must be Happy Hour.

Someone with a degree of professional competency is finally in the building, it seems. Thank God!

I do like the story and narrative they are building around each team.

We finally seem to be getting our house in order don’t we.

And its long overdue.

I haven’t been as excited for a season in a long time and the SM stuff im sure is part of it. 
 

I really like the narrative of every club having a story, great work.

Err….  Yes!  They also wanted to call it Radders the Radiator but Lee told the otherwise

Season previews on each club now too, starting with Hull KR. We've never had it so good as RL fans in this country when it comes to content:

Either it’s the guidance and support of IMG or someone with the Superleague team has been to media school but there seems to be a refeshing change to the approach to the new season with the latest announcement about the Rob Burrows Trophy and prior regular drip of good news stories.  
 

It’s almost as if there’s a plan and still with 2 weeks to go! 
 

Stories so far?

Voono Fantasy League.

ABK Official 

Wigan-Penrith WCC sell out.

Hull - Hull KR record ticket sales.

Superleague Rebrand.

New Season Launch Video.

Talk Radio deal.

New Sky-BBC TV deals.

It is 100% IMG, lots of little (and some bigger) improvements across the board with marketing

[Wiltshire Warrior Dragon]

I routinely get "Here are your latest VIP rewards and experiences" emails from Sky.  Today's highlights five things, one of which is the impending return of Super league, and I can enter a draw to get two free tickets to an SL game of my choice.  This may have happened in previous seasons, but maybe not...

I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but a lot of those haven't reached the National mainstream media and are often social media 'successes'. These are often misleading because you are often only preaching to the converted.

The BBC deal has also not been confirmed which 2 weeks out from the season is actually a massive failure.

Timing...

[RigbyLuger]

Like players signing for clubs, I think you'd be very naive to think deals are signed and announced at the same time. Maybe the both sides didn't want it clashing with other announcements.

This is a Times article (I feel grubby posting it) from a month ago confirming what is suggested has not been confirmed until 2 hours ago.
