SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Some thoughts from a great week on the road before Thanksgiving…best part was the people…although some of the places were cool too. Listings Matter: I was driving to San Francisco airport Sunday when my colleague Terry Lyons called to catchup. In the midst of our discussion he mentioned that he wanted to go see the …
We love learning from such a vast array of talented people from all walks of life on our podcast, and these three recent ones provide a great array of left brain/right brain strategy and execution from all angles. We are thankful to have them, and hope you extract some tidbits from each. As always all …
People often ask, “oh you have worked in sports all your life, what teams do you root for?” While I do care about some teams much more than some others…and honestly don’t really “hate” any team…and have worked for so many organizations considered rivals (Fordham and Iona, the Jets and the Giants, NWSL and MLS …
Last Sunday my friend and colleague Dave Siroty went to see “Bull Durham” at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey. It was not the dramatic play off of Ron Shelton’s memorable screenplay of the trials and tribulations of the Durham Bulls from 1988 , it was a musical adaption telling the same story. His …
It’s mid-October, middle of Q4 so let’s draw some inspiration from a list of recent podcast guests, all of whom have ended up in some pretty amazing spots when they chose to take the unconventional path. As always you can listen to all our pods here. From Walkon to Super Bowl Champ: We first learned …
We talk so much about the value of showing up and taking a chance by going down a road not usually planned, it may seem overused, but it is a gift that keeps giving, especially when you look for curious teachable moments. The latest occurred on Friday in New York, when my colleague Laura Dixon …
When I was with the Knicks and the Sixers you travelled to “Detroit” for road games, but you never went to Detroit. You went to Auburn Hills, where the team played. Motown? Miles away never to be seen. The city has undergone quite a renaissance since my NBA road days, and I have always wanted …
Maybe it’s because I’m older and in the range where your have friends and colleagues whose partners, and parents are just reaching the end of that circle of life more often. Maybe it’s because we close in on the most profound day of loss for so many of us…September 11…that we notice these things more. …
I had never been asked to write a forward for a book, and then in the course of thirty days two dear friends and colleagues asked me to do so. I guess everyone else was on vacation, lol. Seriously it was very humbling and quite an honor to be asked by both Shripal Shah and …
Our business doesn’t go an hour it seems without some “big news” off the field. The ESPN launch, NIL and college issues, FIFA World Cup planning, streaming wars, gambling suspensions, NBA Europe, Caitlin Clark and on and on. If Billy Joel wanted to write a sports version of “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” it wouldn’t …
