SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
I went to an early mass at our parish, St. John the Baptist in Hillsdale, NJ, and I am always interested and intrigued to what our pastor, Monsignor Peter Smutelovic, has in store for his homily. This week he talked a great deal about the faith that athletes exhibit, particularly the infectious enthisiasm Indana quarterback Fernando …
Earler this year I was catching up with my colleague Terry Lyons on ideas big and small, and we turned to the ideas of what needs to be brought to the table when trying to take a spark of an idea and make it bloom in a time challenged world. Like the book I was reading by …
Just some quick notes on the week…actually 10 days…that was as we work through MLK Weekend. My buddy Dave Siroty and I squeezed a heck of a lot of learnings into what was essentially a three mile radius of Upper Manhattan on Saturday, but before that, I should mention that our idea for our Saturday …
The pulpit, be it on a mobile device, in front of a microphone or talking to friends and family is such a powerful position. You have the ability, large or small to speak and drive everything from public opinion to what your family is eating for dinner. However, do we use it correctly? In our …

Snoop Dogg does it again. If you haven’t watched or listened to his call as the Warriors Steve …
There is a senior executive I know who constantly reminds his communications person that he needs deals, not more friends. As we start a new year and I think back on all the new people I met this year, I find that very sad. I was having lunch and then some calls with colleagues who …
What a year…AGAIN!. Still we have time for reflection and nostalgia, and while I am a big believer of taking a pause, year round really, and figuring what got done and what could be done differently personally and professionally, I am not a big one on lists of the past or for that matter, predictions of …
There were lots of debate on the NFL’s move into the Christmas Day lineup and how it would hurt the NBA or not and on and on. Would the NFL’s two latest partners, Netflix and Amazon, be hurt by the failings of what were thought to be elite matchups suddenly turned into also-ran’s…would the NBA …
When I was with the Knicks we were practicing at Pauley Pavillion one day, and Larry Brown walked in and told a story. Pointing to the end zone he told me to see the banners up there…the only ones hanging were for National Championships. “That was Coach Wooden, when I became head coach here I …
