SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
We loved learning about how the Professional Bull Riders keep trying to grow and disrupt by, frankly being creative with their assets. Latest case in point… PBR is joining the Super Bowl Party with the first national brand commercial in the sport’s 26-year history, launching its new ad campaign, “Be Cowboy,” prior to kick off …
There has been so much talk, and a good amount of initial activity, connecting the growing world of gaming…not just esports as many still say, but casual and competitive gaming, that it has sometimes become white noise. What’s real business, what’s buzz, and what’s a real way to judge ROI. Along with that conversation is …
Here is the latest trio of Columbia University Sports Podcast (the CUSP Show) that we have had in the past few months.
