One of the best learning experiences we have each semester is when we ask our students what brans are on their watch list and why. While you usually get the conventional…Nike, adidas, Tesla, Google, Celsius, HOKA…we always get some great surprises which makes us want to know more. Some of those this semester included: Lobos …
Another busy week of learnings. Some highlights below. Learning From Rog: I’m not sure if there is anyone more joyful or entertaining when talking about his craft than Men in Blazers co-host Roger Bennett. For all things football, Bennett is able to weave in humor, logic and all sorts of joyous fandom, which is a …
As we head toward 2024 the issues and opportunities with regard to engagement in social continues to ebb and flow.

Earlier this month there was a great New York Times piece on how music artists were embracing and allowing content creators to livestream concerts to a global audience. The piece went in great detail to point out that because of limited touring dates, high demand for tickets in marketplaces and an unquenchable desire for shared …

A busy few days in San Diego for NWSL Championship…some thoughts and observations form the road… NIKE with a submission as stunt. It’s a great play for a partner looking to draw some ancillary buzz…with no downside. Nike last week “announced” they were submitting the NWSL in the “Best Drama” category for the Golden Globe …
It’s been another great beginning to the week, and to the month. There are so many little tidbits we have picked up as we wandered around New York this week. Some good points to take a look at.
