April
1‐10
Charlotte
MLL
asked
its
Facebook
Fans
to
vote
and
discuss
the
geographic
area
the
team
should
represent:
Charlotte
or
the
broader
Carolinas?
How
it
worked:
Wednesday,
March
30th:
Team
President
Jim
McPhilliamy
released
a
letter
to
the
fans
on
the
Charlotte
MLL
Facebook
Page,
that
outlined
the
creative
process
and
reasoning
for
the
“Name
the
Team
Campaign”
and
in
which
he
stated,
“
We
want
our
fans
involved
with
the
team
from
the
very
beginning.
We
believe
sports
teams
succeed
because
a
community
of
passionate
fans
wants
to
be
engaged
on
an
emotional
level
with
the
team.
We
hope
to
foster
that
type
of
active
engagement
with
our
fans
from
the
outset
by
involving
them
in
our
“Name
The
Team
Campaign”
powered
by
