Enterprise National League North Marine AFC is delighted to announce the appointment of Ray Kula as our new Marketing & Hospitality Strategy Coordinator Intern. Ray, a high-achieving student from the University of Liverpool, is set to join the Mariners this April and will be working with the club’s commercial and event teams throughout the summer.
Ray brings a strong academic foundation to the Marine Travel Arena as a final year Marketing BSc undergraduate at the University of Liverpool Management School. He pairs this with a proven track record of turning “attention into attendance” through his professional experience in end-to-end event promotion, social media marketing, and brand identity. His specific expertise in digital, services, and relationship marketing, combined with a background in content creation, highlights his ability to use creative storytelling and digital strategy to build and engage a loyal audience.
In this specialised role, Ray will help bridge the gap between our footballing operations and our growing hospitality arm. A primary focus of his internship will be the promotion of our matchday hospitality packages. This includes designing targeted materials for our premium experiences in the Carlsberg Suite and the Hub.
Beyond matchdays, Ray will play a critical role in promoting the 1894 Bar & Bistro as a premier year-round destination for the wider Crosby community.
“I’m very excited to get started. I’m motivated by creativity having a direct commercial outcome,” said Ray. “Community-led sport with a hospitality product can be grown through smart and repeatable marketing, and I’m confident I can bring structure, pace, and commercial focus to the club’s goals”.
We look forward to seeing Ray’s strategic “playbooks” in action as we continue to grow both on and off the pitch.
Welcome to Marine, Ray!
