SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
This past week I was talking to a colleague, and he said something to me which both surfside and delighted me. “Did you see that Kenny Klein has been sitting next to the St. John’s bench? I thought he was retired, what a great thing they brought him in to help.” Most probably won’t know …
I am a big believer in reframing older messages. You twist a phrase, move a comma, look at something from a different angle and suddenly there is a new message. I have talked about this numerous times with my college colleagues and have written about the difference between investing and donating, and how that little …
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 …
We will attend and support only if it does not distract from the work being done.” Pretty simple and self-evident statement, right? Why should it even be news when a leader says such things? In most instances it really shouldn’t be, it should be common sense. But we remain in a time when the news is …
Before heading off this weekend I got to unpack…literally…from all the learnings at Super Bowl in New Orleans.

It’s Super Bowl Sunday, but before we get to all the amazing content and storytelling we enjoyed during our three days on what used to be Radio Row, now Media Row in New Orleans, here are three recent pods of impact that touch on everything from grit to entrepreneurialism to the growing space of collectibles …
It’s great to have convergence at a time of year when we are all looking ahead to brighter, longer days as we shake off the cold and the gloom. It’s also nice when two of those events crossover. Today is Groundhog Day, and yes the critter in Pennsylvania saw his shadow…so six more weeks of …
Sunday morning, I went to an early mass at our parish, St. John the Baptist in Hillsdale, NJ, and I am always interested and intrigued to what our pastor, Monsignor Peter Smutelovic, has in store for his homily. This week he talked a great deal about the faith that the two College Football championship quarterbacks, …
This past week I was catching up with my colleague Terry Lyons on ideas big and small, and we turned to the ideas of what needs to be brought to the table when trying to take a spark of an idea and make it bloom in a time challenged world. Like the book I was …
