Goodman promoted by Comcast-Spectacor

Philadelphia – Global Spectrum, operators of the Wells Fargo Center, today named Rebecca Goodman as the facility's new Director of Public Relations. 

She was most recently publicist for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League. Both Global Spectrum and the Flyers are subsidiaries of Comcast-Spectacor. 

In her new role, Goodman will oversee all of the day-to-day public relations efforts at Global Spectrum’s flagship arena, the Wells Fargo Center, and the neighboring XFINITY Live! Philadelphia, the dining and entertainment district on the former site of the Spectrum. In addition to assisting in all event-related public relations efforts at Global Spectrum's more than 115 arenas, stadiums, and convention centers, she will train and develop new marketers and publicists for the company.

Goodman, who joined Comcast-Spectacor in 2006 as an intern with the Philadelphia 76ers, quickly showcased her talents and was named Public Relations Coordinator for the Sixers just after graduating from Drexel University in 2007. She also earned a Master's Degree from Drexel in 2009.

She was named Publicist for the Flyers in 2010. As team Publicist, Goodman was primarily responsible for overall communications through local and national media relating to “off-ice” events and initiatives for the Flyers. She worked primarily with the Flyers Marketing, Public Relations and Community departments to pitch pieces that generated publicity for the Flyers organization, including organizing events to engage the community in the sport of hockey.
