No, this is not an infrastructure, but a personnel you could hire and it should work like the Youth trainer, but instead of helping the Trainer it helps the PR manager. High level Social Media Manager working together with a High level PR Manager could return a value you are now getting with the Arena and Merch store infrastructure. It can equip a relatively new managers not to wait for 10 seasons to be competitive compared to the older managers who have those infrastructure.

Edit: it also brings new dynamics with the PR manager which has been the most depreciated staff members. Managers are practically day-trading PR managers looking for those basic (2) level cheapest ones with the speciality they need for their next game. Is that what a PR manager should do? I think it is a flawed aspect of the game. With the Social Media Manager being tied to the PR manager, it means if you continue to do the day-trading for the "speciality" you would be losing on revenue. Yes, the Social Media Manager can only add a value on the top of what his boss the PR manager can make. Level 7 Social Media Manager with level 2 PR manager would not be as profitable as level 5 Social Media Manager working with level 4 PR Manager... I'm just brainstorming here

I think the flaw in this personnel according to your goal to better equip newer managers with higher TV and Merch sales is that newer managers don’t have the fan base, high salary players, or national players to make it a worthy investment, which is why most managers ignore higher level PR Manager staff until you get to the highest levels of BB where that % the PR Manager provides outweighs their salary. I would rather just give a buff to the PR Manager’s effects if BB wants to fix the problem with that staff. You have to be careful though, because a PR Manager buff (or additional staff as you’re suggested) may make it harder for newer teams to climb ranks because established top teams will be bringing in exponentially more money.
