SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
I decided to reach out to a wide swath of communications folks over the weekend and asked them questions on best practices, lessons learned and challenges. Will post them as they come this week…starting off with three wise men… Kirk Reynolds, Ray Ridder of the Warriors and Josh Rawitch of the Diamondbacks. Interested form having …
One of the best things about the consulting world is the ability to listen and learn from people with varied points of view and interests from around the world. It gives you a different perspective, and especially since we cross paths with so many young people, it can on occasion give a little glimpse into …
What does a Canadian Chicken chain and Verizon have in common? A unique way to play a social responsibility card in a time of crisis and need. While brands look to deliver the essential messages…we are here for you, we support each other…at least these two found a unique way to keep people informed, and deliver …
As we wade through the unchartered waters of business life on hiatus it’s always good to draw from best practices past, especially ones that can help lead you forward. An example as in my basement file cabinet, here I keep the notebooks and legal pads that have spanned the better part of 30 years …
I have watched every game simulation thus far; FIFA, NBA, some NHL but until I watched iRacing I didn’t think any were the actual event.

For the past 12 years at the top of our weekly newsletter we have listed a little “spanning the globe” list of events going on. This week, sadly, that list is virtually nonexistent due to the ongoing issues with coronavirus cancellations. That’s the bad news we now know. The good news is that we live …
There used to be the great divide; those who loved sports and those who loved science, and rarely the two crossed paths. However today, with the advent of advanced analytics in sport, VR and AR, gaming and esports, even robotics, the worlds of what we thought were “sport” and how the two intersect today have …
As March Madness gets going, kudos again to one of the most unique, niche sponsorships in sports: Werner Ladders. The NCAA still has its official net cutting scissors (Fiskars) and traction wipes (Slipp-Nott), but Werner remains one of the few brands that seems to always find its way to the camera, and the most important …
There was a time not too long ago where the NBA All Star Weekend was becoming a slog; players opting out, questions about value and cost, if there was a need or interest any more. Most leagues face the same and bigger issues with midseason (or in the case of the NFL postseason) breaks to …
