Philipp Wuerfel handed over his responsibility for public relations at the turn of the year, but is still responsible for managing gaming operations and international relations at DBV. Based on the results of the future workshop, the Executive Board decided to create a full-time position for public relations and to fill it with Marcel Eßers. Eßers will officially start in the position as full-time public relations officer on June 1, 2024, but has been supporting the association on an hourly basis since January.
“I started in the Bundesliga editorial team 17 years ago and later took over all public relations work at the DBV. I put a lot of heart and passion into the area. But now it’s time for something new,” said cube, looking back on the past few years. The 42-year-old reduced his hours at DBV at the beginning of the year.
A successor was quickly found: Marcel Eßers has been working in the Bundesliga editorial team for two years and has also been looking after the 1st Baseball Bundesliga on the DBV’s social media for a year. The certified marketing specialist and trained media designer looks back on a professional career spanning over 20 years in the field of ‘marketing and communication’. During this time he worked in various positions, areas of responsibility and industries.
At the age of 13, Eßers got to know the sport of baseball through a student holiday program in his hometown of Hildesheim and then trained with the local baseball team for a few months. The 41-year-old has been continuously active in baseball in Lower Saxony since the beginning of 2014. As a player, he played in all men’s leagues in the NBSV and was also involved in the division management of his club as well as as an umpire and scorer.
“I would like to thank Philipp for his years of commitment to our public relations work and would like to welcome Marcel to the DBV team,” says DBV President Jürgen Elsishans. “Marcel has already networked very well with our community through his involvement in the Bundesliga editorial team and I am convinced that he will provide new impetus for the future and further develop the area.”
“Due to advancing digitalization, a professional presentation of our sports is more important than ever,” says Marcel Eßers. “With my professional expertise and my passion for this great sport, I would like to help baseball, softball and Baseball5 become even more visible to the public.”
