SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
This week, from just before Halloween into the run up to Thanksgiving, always seems to be quite the tumultuous one. We usually have some Election drama, have had a massive snowstorm, Super Storm Sandy, The Pandemic, the tragic plane crash in Jamaica, Queens in 2001, and sometimes, sometimes, even things like the 2015 World Series …
So there was, J.T. Realmuto, one of the key pieces of a Philadelphia Phillies fall to remember, crashing a Home Run (a conventional one, not the unconventional inside the park version earlier in the playoffs) to help his team cap a comeback victory on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park, putting them on the verge …
We get to interact with people with such amazing stories every day, but every once in a while one come’s along that makes you say “What?” Such was a case at the MIT Sloan Analytics Conference last March when a young man from Taiwan came up to me and said he wanted to meet and …

No. Much of what I do that is public facing has little to do with money, …
It’s not easy to spend little money and get high visibility in a closely watched professional sports broadcast, but kudos to Paramount for scoring a viral success for their recent horror release “Smile.” “Smile” stars Sosie Bacon as a psychiatrist haunted by an eerie presence, one which does all kinds of horrific things to victims …
Sometimes the simplest of ideas can go a long way, and they can happen with some of most complex businesses. Case in point, anyone watching an NFL game this weekend may have seen an additional decal, a country flag for example, on a player’s helmet, or a flag on the jacket of a coach like …
