So YOU are the the head of Orlando Magic Marketing

Just for fun, imagine you are tasked with the difficult job of creating the campaign to sell tickets for the upcoming Magic season - knowing the results of the last 5 years and the realities of the Orlando marketplace. Who would you feature as the face of the campaign?

Note: I originally had the Poop Emoji as the 10th choice but took it out to not skew the poll from the negative posters.

I voted for Stuff and that isn't even a joke vote - I feel he has the most positive associations/goodwill and history of those currently with the franchise and also the best recent record of performance.

STUFF, he is the only option that is unlikely to change.

Assuming a season like last season
All players are likely to be gone except maybe Isaac(nixes Team Photo)
If given a poor season, Coach is likely to be gone.
If RealGM is listened to like Morey says, Alex Martins could be gone(extremely unlikely IRL)

Only STUFF will remain after an organizational nuke.

Isaac and Gordon isn't a choice? Because that's my answer. Between those two it's a toss up, but I voted Isaac because he can pull in a lot of FSU fans to come watch a game or two.

I'd probably market a Ping Pong ball

Instead of Pure Magic this years slogan should be "Sit and Evaluate"

Isaac obviously, because he's the new face, thus new hope. It could all go bad when Vogel barely plays him or lets him have any offensive responsibility though.

I'd go with Payton, Gordon and Isaac for this season anyway.

Before the draft it was clear the Magic were focusing on Gordon e.g. bringing him in for the jersey photo shoot.

Either Payton, Gordon, and Isaac, or just go ahead and do the starting 5. I can't imagine they'll single out a player on his own unless they're damn sure Gordon is about to leap to 20+ ppg.

Stuff obviously. We don't even know what Isaac is capable of yet. After that, there isn't a player on this roster worthy of being the face of the franchise.

AG

Who is Nicolas Vucevic?? It's Nikola Vucevic

Eh, face of the franchise =/= face of a a marketing campaign. As an ad guy, your job is to sell tickets and I think it is exactly the fact nobody knows yet that makes Isaac the right choice. Even with AG, it's hard to get the casual fan hyped about a elite defender. But with Isaac, there is potential and there is that hope that he could be "a unicorn" as people have been saying since the draft.

Tatum will do well with that Boston team and around him with Steven's coaching. Not sure how he would develop the same in Orlando.

Who would you feature as the "face" of the Magic in their 2017-18 season ticket campaign?
