CHARLOTTE – Meredith Starkey, a proven marketing leader with nearly 20 years of experience building brands, has joined the Carolina Panthers as Chief Marketing Officer.

Starkey comes to the Panthers after nearly 10 years at T-Mobile, where she was Vice President of Marketing – Sponsorships and Events. Prior to joining T-Mobile, she held sponsorship marketing positions at Motorola and Genesco Sports Enterprises.

She brings an expertise in building integrated brand communication and sponsorship strategies, customer acquisition and loyalty, creative development, production, research and insight.

"We are delighted to have Meredith join our leadership team," said team president Tom Glick. "She is a proven difference maker in our industry and understands fans and how to deliver special moments, memories and experiences to continue to fuel their passion. As we strive to do more for our fans, partners and communities across the Carolinas, Meredith’s command of the fundamentals and drive to innovate will help us get it right."

Starkey revitalized and expanded entertainment marketing for T-Mobile with a strategy to reach millennials, including their first ever naming rights deal – T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas – along with a series of major media and music platforms.

She also led the renewal strategy and negotiation of T-Mobile’s MLB sponsorship and previously managed T-Mobile’s NBA sponsorship.

In 2018, Event Marketer Magazine named her one of the “Top 15 Women in Event Marketing” and Sports Business Journal named her a “Brand Power Player.” In 2015, she was recognized by Sports Business Journal as a “Forty Under 40” award winner, and the previous year, Sports Business Journal included her in the class of “2014 Game Changers: Women in Sports Business.”

A Williamston, N.C., native who grew up in Lexington, S.C., Starkey earned a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from Clemson University.

Starkey will begin her new role in late March

This is good news, the Panthers are rarely talked about outside of the Carolina’s and they can’t keep relying on Pepsi, Bojangles, and Krispy Kreme to be their only big time sponsors (if you can call Krispy Kreme and Bojangles big time).

They should have stolen the CMO from the Hurricanes, that person is a genius and it only seems fair since the Canes poached the Panthers social media guy.

whoa whoa whoa now don't forget about sakcrete

The Panthers have never even had a marketing department. They never had much need for one as the nfl always sold itself. 

 

These days though....

Which is crazy to think about this day in age. Jerry really did run this team like it was in the 60’s still

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
