SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Our time at Super Bowl on Media Row was a gift that keeps on giving for curious learners. Latest examples are below. 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 …
Daytona has rolled through, Indy Car is getting ready for its season, Formula E is finding its eco and tech friendly spot, and Formula 1 has become the cause celebre in North America with new, young, engaged roots. Oh and in most of the US it’s cold. Still in basements across America, fathers and mothers and …
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) …
To me and many others, Radio Row at Super Bowl is what it will always be called. Like the name change at the former Tappan Zee Bridge…now the Mario Cuomo…or the switch of a stadium name…old habits are hard to break. But alas, as USAA has done with the second biggest live media gathering each …

We have seen this constantly in sports when expansion comes along, or a challenger league steps up to fill what they see as a need to force the …
A while ago an MSG executive named Bill Jemas wanted to test a theory he had. If you priced the second row at a Knicks game more than the first, what would people buy first? The answer when it was tested was clear…people gravitated to the highest price with the idea that the best cost …
This past Monday as I started the undergraduate spring class I do at Fordham I took literally ten minutes to whiteboard “stuff.” Just list out the things that are on the top of peoples minds, and what lies ahead and what that alphabet soup looks like. WOW. Lots of initials like PIF, TGL, GFL, USL, …
This past week I spent time in Milwaukee, Green Bay and back here in New York, even going to the Rangers-Devils game at MSG Thursday night. All of those teams are reflections of their community and have spent years weaving themselves into the fabric of their cities and towns. It is such a key part …
