SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Maybe we think its July 4th, when Joey Chestnut and all the newer faces again dominated the airwaves at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest and beyond, but in reality, National Hot Dog Day is actually the third Wednesday in July, and this year falls just after MLB All-Star Game and as we head towards the …
A few times we have seen in the last few days thoughts about how The Marlins should adopt a Scottish band, or how other teams should replicate the spontaneous actions of World Cup supporters. “Let’s create chants,” “Let’s do walk ins of fans like THEY do.” No. While creating your own supporter experiences are …

It always seems to happen more around this time of year for various reasons…fiscal calendars, graduations, changes in leadership and so on…but the spigot on people reaching out to find out what’s next in their careers seems to get much bigger.
