For someone as great and popular as Messi, it would be common to see a lot of PR made about him by his team, but as it turns out, that's not the case, which is today's entry topic.
On Twitter, although he doesn't have an official Twitter page, there's his PR team, Messi Team. But upon further inspection, it seems more marketed towards Adidas than Messi. This has been noted since there's q strong belief that Team Messi could do much more when it comes to Messi's PR (only 1 main tweet since December 2019 which was his 6th Ballon d'Or). This is because it's managed by Adidas, but Messi still has control over the account's PR.
Which leads to the questions, what's his stance on Messi Team's PR for him? Well, he prefers his PR team not boast his stature, being very strict on this manner. More bluntly, as and ex freelance graphic designer from Team Messi, said: "He is of the opinion that PR is for the weak and that it just falsifies what a player does or doesn't do on the pitch.". Even Messi Team's lets us know of this, with one of the last advertisements saying "Let your feet do the talking" after he won the 2019 The Best.
It's logical to assume this extends to his other branches of PR other than Twitter. In conclusion, his own humbleness doesn't let him get much help from PR, since he'd rather do his magic on the pitch and let the world be the witness.
