SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Let’s get this out of the way…St. Patrick had the better PR person. St. Joseph, he preferred to stay in the background. However if the devil (pun intended) is in the details, I will take pastry over salted red meat every day. And today if I were to make a wager, I would take scrappy, …
It’s been a week since we were roaming the halls of The Hynes Convention Center, where we again came away with more from the MIT Sloan Sports Business Conference than what we gave. Some key takeaways from the rooms and the halls not just from the weekend, but for what to watch going forward. You …
I was on a call with a colleague this week as I usually am on a Monday. It was just a usual check-in, see what transpired over the weekend and what lies ahead in the fast and fluid business. She asked me something that surprised me but which I actually took great pride in. “What …

Three quick listens with three leaders in the media space, all from different angles, all overseeing three distinct, disruptive and growing platforms…The Ringer, Front Office Sport and Action Network. As always you can …

Before heading off this weekend I got to unpack…literally…from all the learnings at Super Bowl in New Orleans. We did 22 podcasts, helped facilitate close to 70 interviews, staged and helped coordinate a press event talking about the future of engagement with EA Sports, the NFL, NBC, the Rams and Genius Sports (nice summary here) …
