SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
A guest column from our colleague Dr. Lindsay Krasnoff… How we tell the story matters. Images and words have equal weight, even if they communicate in different ways, and can often have impact beyond our original intent. Moreover, the narrative framework and context is vital. For communicators working within a global sports industry, that means …
There were many who rolled their eyes when they heard about Snoop Dog joining Ryan Reynolds and others in purchasing the Ottawa Senators, but one thing we should always remember is the value of staying relevant, and there is no one who understands that, and the value of adapting, than Snoop.
