"Alert Me" only when a specific user makes an announcement in Sharepoint 2010

I was wondering if there was a way for individual users with contributor access to set their "Alert Me" feature so that when a specific user, ex. the manager, makes an announcement in the announcement web part, it will trigger the "Alert Me", only when the manager posts an announcement. I'm hoping there is a solution using the workflows in Sharepoint Designer. From what I have read so far, it seems like trying to customize the "Alert Me" is not worth the trouble.

as a workaround for this, you could create a workflow that notifies you via e-mail when a certain item is created by someone, in this case, your manager, using sharepoint designer workflows.
