Fanpersonnel

Fanpersonnel is a term used in fan culture and entertainment industries to describe personnel whose primary function is engagement with fans and facilitation of fan experiences. It can refer to staff, volunteers, or contractors who interact with fan communities, coordinate activities at events, and manage communications between fans and an organization or production.

Typical roles include guest relations at conventions and tours, social media community managers, moderator teams for fan forums, fan club coordinators, autograph or meet-and-greet organizers, and safety or accessibility staff working with fans. They may work across the lifecycle of a project from launch campaigns to post-release engagement.

Fanpersonnel is not a standardized job title; many organizations use related titles such as fan liaison, community manager, public relations liaison, or guest relations coordinator. The term emphasizes a focus on fans as a distinct stakeholder group in addition to customers or general staff.

Contexts in which fanpersonnel are described include media productions, fan conventions, music tours, gaming communities, anime events, and sports organizations. The concept stresses the importance of structured, respectful fan interaction while helping ensure safety, brand consistency, and positive experiences.
