SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
We love garage sales don’t we? A chance to clear out the closets, or for those on the prowl, a chance to find some hidden gems. What’s ones trash is another’s treasure? The same is true for college athletic departments and teams of all sizes. Now this isn’t the same as a sale, say the US …
Many times at the start of class in a semster, or when I get to meet with young people, I try to run through a list of names to see who is interesting or relevant to their worlds. While I do it to convey the idea that you should be curiously learning wide, the reality …
I get asked all the time how I manage…well…time, and I use this quite from William Penn that i have on hand. “Time is what we want the most and use the worst.” -William Penn It’s hard, especially without routine or with so many things flashing in and out of what is “important” in the …

We spent a great week in the Dakota’s…a little work, a little travelling, a lot of learning. Before we get to the business stuff some observations overall. We live in a politically polarizing world today, but as I have witnessed first hand time and again, when you get out and meet PEOPLE and experience things …

Ther have been many anecdotal stories about the impact of Uncrustables and their popularity in the locker room. Now they have found what …
“This is the business we have chosen.” I was thinking about that line from The Godfather from Hyman Roth (The legendary actor Lee Strasburg) LIV Golf reaches its third year anniversary and while their issues with the PGA TOUR have not fully been resoved, some of the original issues about foreign investment in sport seems …
Another busy week of learning and listening and talking with colleagues of various ages, backgrounds and areas of focus. Some items that seem to keep popping up worth following. LEGO expansion into sports. It’s subtle but it’s always worth watching how the folks at LEGO find their ways into trends and conversations tied to growth …
