SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
What does a Canadian Chicken chain and Verizon have in common? A unique way to play a social responsibility card in a time of crisis and need. While brands look to deliver the essential messages…we are here for you, we support each other…at least these two found a unique way to keep people informed, and deliver …
This should have been a landmark weekend for all those around the various ventures Vince McMahon oversees; the XFL, now with warmer weather coming, new faces established, media partners engaged and innovation in game presentation rising, would continue to see an uptick as March Madness came to an end, while thousands would have filled Raymond …
Because of some of the side hustles…although usually side hustles bring you money (not in this case for the most part)…I get more than my share of inbound emails. Many are requests from students or parents, some are for items for our newsletter, some are just blind random solicitations for some kind of vague assistance …
As we wade through the unchartered waters of business life on hiatus it’s always good to draw from best practices past, especially ones that can help lead you forward. An example as in my basement file cabinet, here I keep the notebooks and legal pads that have spanned the better part of 30 years …
It’s the weekend and its raining. Where the normally would have been March Madness, Little League, lacrosse, MLS, MLB even this year the first season of XFL, there are replays, simulations and esports.

I have watched every game simulation thus far; FIFA, NBA, some NHL but until I watched iRacing I didn’t think any were the actual event. All were filler, but the virtual race NASCAR and their partners did Sunday on FOX Sports 1 was different and really deserves credit for getting as close to live as …
Friday night I randomly flipped through ESPN’s On demand menu and found “Requiem For The Big East,” which I hadn’t seen in quite a while, so I decided to watch for a few minutes; and then an hour and a half. I watched as a reminder of those original days of basketball but also to …
I never really chose the path to working for myself; it was kind of forced upon me when our MMA venture, the IFL, folded 12 years ago, and really three colleagues, Meredith Geisler, John Genzale and Jon Pessah, made me jump in the pool. With that came 12 years of learning, including how to best …
For the past 12 years at the top of our weekly newsletter we have listed a little “spanning the globe” list of events going on. This week, sadly, that list is virtually nonexistent due to the ongoing issues with coronavirus cancellations. That’s the bad news we now know. The good news is that we live …
