Robert Knowles Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced media professional with a wide understanding of producing, editing and managing publications - both online and in print - as well as dealing and working with the local, national and international media on a daily basis. I have spent the last ten years managing and marketing the Official Barnsley Football Club Website, developing it into the most engrossing in the Football League and one that, continuously, achieves a higher readership amongst supporters than many bigger teams with larger budgets. I have extensive experience of promoting the brand through many different media outlets as well as managing the day to day running of a very busy press office.

I oversaw the entire media operations within the Football Club, arranging regular media briefings and press conferences as well as dealing with local, national and international media on a daily basis. I also edited and wrote the match day programme as well as running the editorial for the Official Website and online TV channel up to date. I also acted as media liaison for all staff, including directors and players, and advised regarding press and media issues.

included general news/feature writing as well as working as chief sub-editor and page layout of the editorial content.
