Celebrating 100 of the 100,000: Ron Minegar
TeamWork Consulting and TeamWork Online are celebrating the enabling of over 100,000 Real Connections between employers and candidates in the sports and events business. Here's one of 100 of the 100,000 recruits we’re celebrating:
Ron Minegar. Imagineer. Animation was a necessity in the lowly International Hockey League (IHL). To boost attendance, IHL teams contracted with a cartoonist to design their alluring logos. Ron headed the business operations for the Minnesota Moose. This wasn’t lost on me when I needed a terrific “marketeer” for the Anaheim Angels, a team then owned by The Walt Disney Company. Ron’s successful shenanigans at the Minnesota Moose included selling a sponsorship of his IHL hockey team’s Zamboni to a world famous pork company who renamed the vehicle “Spam-boni.” Goes to show you can have a lot of fun in this industry.
Over the coming months, I will be sharing some of the great stories of those 100,000 recruits, and if you are among that number, I encourage you to share yours below.
