Manfred Lipp
Chairman of a football club (Landesliga, around 300 members) · full-time shift supervisor at a paper mill (around 180 employees) · Fohnsdorf, Styria
Two calendars run side by side for Manfred Lipp: the shift schedule at a paper mill, and that of a football club with around three hundred members, which he's carried for eight years as chairman through sponsor hunting, running the canteen, and an overdue floodlight renovation. He keeps his word on commitments, though for long-time club friends he'll look the other way on membership dues now and then. He also helps organize the annual blood donation drive on the side.
In Radical Personas, Manfred reviews your website, ad, or copy from exactly this standpoint — with a Score and reasoning you can follow.
