METS HIRE WILL CARAFELLO AS DIRECTOR, SOCIAL MEDIA
FLUSHING, N.Y., October 21, 2013 – The New York Mets today named Will Carafello to the newly created position of Director, Social Media. Carafello will be responsible for working collaboratively across the organization to oversee the Mets social media efforts. He will report to David Newman, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Communications.

While there, Carafello was instrumental in the creation of “Mission Control,” the first digital command center within the sports and entertainment industry. He successfully guided the growth of the team’s social media engagement, an achievement realized via the Devils #1 Klout score in the NHL.
