Morning shows, and the like, are always interviewing people promoting events. Anyway, that's all behind the team. They are doing the right thing, vis a vis promotion, now. Hopefully this type of thing continues into next season, regardless of the result on November 19th...
With the increase in numbers of people actually working in the office, I suppose the money to hire them had to come from somewhere else. TBH, I have never received as many phone calls from the Argos office as I have this season, especially over the last month. Hopefully, going forward, having more people in sales will be money better spent than strictly on advertising.
