The slumping Philadelphia Eagles football franchise has fired its top communications and marketing staffers.
Rob Zeiger, senior VP, communications, for the Eagles, was fired on Nov. 20 after a year and a half heading public affairs and serving as spokesman for the organization. He is a former Weber Shandwick VP and director of communications for Amway.
The Eagles, with a 3-8 record, this week fired senior VP and chief marketing officer Tim McDermott, who was in his second stint with the team after serving as CMO of the NHL’s Washington Capitals.
The team called the split “amicable” and in a statement thanked McDermott for his work before wishing him well in future endeavors. |
