SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Some thoughts on a cold January day. I was listening to the TED Radio Hour when host Manoush Zomorodi and her guest Esther Perel talked about the ever-evolving business of relationships, and how personal capital and the “Unwritten resume” has become more and more valuable in any decision-making process, personal or professional. What did she mean? “The unwritten resume” …
Most times I have no idea where nuggets of curious learning are coming from. Case in point was on this week’s always interesting CBS Sunday with Jane Pauley. They had a feature on comedians who have embraced TikTok to expand their reach, including one of the best, Adam Waheed, who has focused entirely on the …

Three items to note from the week… Wheaties Tries A Reboot Wheaties is turning 100, and it’s celebrating by bringing back the most iconic athlete in its history. Michael Jordan will grace the box once again, appearing for the 19th time on the packaging. Continuing its long history of positioning itself as a healthy breakfast …
Tossing Teddy’s are back across North America, and that’s a good thing. From The Maritimes to California, a hockey holiday rite of charity has returned in full force the past few weekends…The Teddy Bear Toss. (Great summary of all the sites and the numbers tossed to date here). Now it used to be only in …
