Key Player In 'Comcast Cares' Campaign Moves On
Hopefully Comcast will still care...
by Karl Bode Monday 19-Jul-2010 tags: business · bandwidth · cable · consumers · Comcast
Comcast's use of Twitter to allow broadband consumers to break through the bureaucratic gridlock of Comcast support has been a key part of Comcast's efforts to solve their reputation for lousy customer service. The key player behind that push, Frank Eliason, has seen no shortage of recognition by the mainstream media, as Comcast rode a wave of obsession over Twitter. But now Eliason has announced (via Twitter of course) that he's leaving the Comcast support team to return to a career in marketing for the banking industry. Eliason has done great work for Comcast, is an incredibly nice guy, and was instrumental in helping us offer direct user support right here in our forums. We wish Eliason well, and hope that the remaining Comcast cares team (who Frank says will be maintaining the support system he helped create) will continue to, um, care.

Will be good

Frank was the head of the "team", but the rest of the team is still in-tact (Via Consumerist announcement). The direct contact that they make has been sucessful and done some positive work to repair their image, and I am sure they will still continue with the endeavour, and find a suitable new "caring" leader

Hmmm...

I hear Tony Hayward (BP CEO) might be looking for a job soon. Let's hope Comcast doesn't hire him.

Roman Polanski also could help remotely, since he is still a bit constrained in traveling to US. Rep. Barton maybe will issue an apology to both and everyone will feel better.

My Team Will Continue on!

My team is some of the best Customer advocates you could ever meet. I love them and will miss them, but I know they will not only continue what we have built, but take it to the next level. They know they have the support of Comcast leaders and our Customers.

I will miss interacting with our Customers every day, but like I did prior to joining Comcast, I will be hanging our here. The forums are one of the best assets for those dealing with any ISP.

Thank you for all the support over the years!

Good luck.

I don't use Comcast but this sounds like a nice system for taking care of customers. I think if Comcast was receptive enough to let this guy handle support in such a way (with the progress they achieved ) then things should work out well without him.

Its nice to see people making a positive change in regards to customer service. I'm more likely to use a companies product or service when I see stuff like this.

He failed to fix the CSN + not on DTA mess in Chicago land.

No if want that channel it's $8 per tv for a full box and it WAS ON ANALOG CABLE upto LATE 2009 / start of 2010.

A lot of people are pissed off over this.
