SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
A busy few days in San Diego for NWSL Championship…some thoughts and observations form the road… NIKE with a submission as stunt. It’s a great play for a partner looking to draw some ancillary buzz…with no downside. Nike last week “announced” they were submitting the NWSL in the “Best Drama” category for the Golden Globe …
There are lots and lots of buzz…and business being done around “women’s sports” as we probably all know. Comments like “arrival,” “movement not moment,” “get on board” are bandied about time and again. Yet for all the enthusiasm there is still the whispering that certain teams and leagues are still in their relative infancy compared …
It’s been another great beginning to the week, and to the month. There are so many little tidbits we have picked up as we wandered around New York this week. Some good points to take a look at. Cobiotics: We see commercials for probiotics to keep us healthy and balanced, do you know what cobiotics …
It’s November, which in the fundraising world again means “Movember.” For those who don’t know… Originally launched in Australia 17 years ago, the theme for “Movember” was to get primarily men (although women helped out with a fake one) to grow a mustache or not shave for the 30 days of the month of November, and then …
I am a coffee fan probably 14 hours a day, and have always been intrigued by the marketing of the drinks as a place for community as well as caffeine. For decades, from Dunkin to Tim Horton’s, sports have been a central point in the storytelling around the beverages as well. However now there is …

Way back when Title IX came into being, the NCAA realized that each men’s sport had to have a companion women’s sport…baseball to softball etc. However football had no women’s football so volleyball was designated against it for any number of …
Another great week in and around our business. Some notes, listens, reads and thoughts catching our attention as we head towards November. It’s always interesting to see the things that pop up which can be rounded together as we hit the 30th men’s sports equinox as well. The value of PR…to Linus…With Halloween now here, …
Nowadays, any marketing campaign worth its salt has to include an Influencer. With Taylor Swift tied up in making the flush NFL even richer, PBR went third-party retro in hosting Perez Hilton, the “original influencer,” and cross promoting with UFC Boss Dana White, for buzzy social media collaborations at the league’s second playoffs on October …
I always learn something from Peter King’s FMIA column. So much so that it usually takes me three or four times to read and digest the pieces, it’s a big meal for a little brain like me. One of the thought starters this week was his feature on Andrew Luck’s college center at Stanford, Sam …
“Time is what we want the most and use the worst.” -William Penn Often we are asked what we do for money or what we just “do.” The newsletter, this website, our Podcast, LinkedIn, Twitter etc…does someone pay you for everything? No. Much of what I do that is public facing has little to do with money, …
