SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
It’s not over yet, but it’s getting close, this first title in New York for one of the four major men’s sports teams since the Giants beat the Patriots in 2012, the longest drought in the history of The Apple. No disrespect to the Liberty and Gotham FC and NYCFC, who have won titles in …
Tonight’s guest post is from our summer intern from Elon University Wynne Kenna, who spent time this week at the Hashtag Sports Conference at The Paley Center in New York. Throughout the different panels presented at the Hashtag Sports conference this past week, I noticed a common theme. The sports industry is starting to expand …
On Saturday I was texting with my friend Corey Leff and he mentioned he was going to the Mets game Sunday so his daughter Madison could join other kids postgame and run the bases. I half jokingly commented, why would it be silly to have an opportunity for adults to run the bases…or shoot free …

Founded in 1993 when 20 bull riding cowboys broke away from the rodeo to …
It felt like Thanksgiving in Brooklyn. Other than the food and the company and stories of a part of my father’s family I had known of but never met on the Aeolian Island of Lipari, there was a TV…and football. Not the kind we watched on Turkey Day, but the global kind which I also …
We are heading to Italy, and one of the gifts for a young cousin who wants something “quintessentially American,” is the baseball cap.
