BBC to axe marketing managers
Jul 11th, 2010, 12:47pm
 
Senior managers earning around £100,000 a year will be the first to go, as the corporation addresses widespread criticism that its top salaries had become excessive.
A number of bosses in the BBC's marketing wing will lose their jobs as part of plans to shave millions of pounds from the budget.


Staff in the Marketing, Communications and Audiences division will be called in to be informed of their fate this week, but have not yet been told who is being dismissed.
There are at least 16 staff in the division wing who are earning six-figure salaries. Sharon Baylay, its director, earns £310,000 a year.
The department was singled out by Baroness James last year as an example of how the BBC has been wasting money on middle management.

£310,000 a year? That's more than the PM! Ditch them!

I was once severely admonished for using the term 'Marketing'. 'Never in the BBC' I was told.

I remember that some genius set up a "Marketing Department" for OBs once (Based many miles away at TC of course and nowhere near the actual business at KA). It cost a fortune. Our esteemed boss Ted Bragg told them at a "Marketing presentation" that all they had done was cr*p.
The head of it came down to where I was doing TFI Friday at Riverside and wanted to know all that was happening so she could sell us.
The brief reply was that the EMs were the best marketing people as they were conststantly working with Producers etc.
It was disbanded soon after having cost a load and made nothing!!
The person in question did I believe do better with a "Vision" and her assistant went back to being a "Plod" in Portsmouth
