SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Maybe we think its July 4th, when Joey Chestnut and all the newer faces again dominated the airwaves at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest and beyond, but in reality, National Hot Dog Day is actually the third Wednesday in July, and this year falls just after MLB All-Star Game and as we head towards the …
“If we do it for you we have to do it for everyone.” I remember getting that justification from a senior team official a few years ago when we had some Olympic wrestlers in town and asked to bring them out to a game. The organization had always been very supportive of Olympians, so it …
A few times we have seen in the last few days thoughts about how The Marlins should adopt a Scottish band, or how other teams should replicate the spontaneous actions of World Cup supporters. “Let’s create chants,” “Let’s do walk ins of fans like THEY do.” No. While creating your own supporter experiences are …

Sometimes it’s literally hereditary, sometimes, its location based, sometimes its star power, sometimes its hard luck, sometimes it can be something as simple as …
Forget the fact that Saturday is the Kentucky Derby, and the NBA and Stanley Cup playoffs are moving along. What’s more important for crossover in sports business? It is Free Comic Book day, followed Monday by Star Wars Day . Star Wars promotions in sports have become a staple in and around the 4th of May…but Free …
They both returned to the playoffs…one NHL and one NBA…on the same night both with their own organic spin to presentation. The San Antonio Spurs pulled off the well orchestrated Fiesta Night, a rainbow of coordinated color for Victor Wembanyama’s first playoff home game, while the Buffalo Sabres drought ending win over the Boston Bruins …
