SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
The past few weeks, through events, cups of coffee, pregame conversations, post event scrums, and most importantly listening and watching people ply their communications trade from a distance, we have been reminded of the challenges and opportunities of communication in sports, media and entertainment big and small. With all the pressure we certainly have our …
Even at big events on the grandest of stages, little things matter. They matter also on small stages thrust into the spotlight as well. Such was the case in four fun stops last week in and around the Big Apple. First was a night at The Paley Center for what was essentially a coming out …

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?
