SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
I enjoy learning from the deeper dive sports shows we get to see on platforms like Netflix and HBO. Having always been a fan of “Hard Knocks” I was interested to see what this season would bring us, chronicling the defending champion Seattle Seahawks, while also watching Netflix’s new season of “Quarterback.” Both have delivered. …
For the second straight fall it looks like I will have not one, but two classes at Columbia, so I have started the pre-course “Get to Know You” calls and emails with students. It is earlier than usual, but never loses its joy for me. This summer has brought us to amazing places where we …

So much of what we look at as successful storytelling comes in how we frame the message. A nuance, a look at different angle, a slight shift of a phrase, and suddenly we look at things in a much different light. I remember when my college roomie Joe Giblin, who was in ROTC, brought back …
