SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Tossing Teddy’s continue to be a fun, and somewhat underappreciated event. From The Maritimes to California, a hockey holiday rite of charity has continued to expand to record numbers for those who see the value. Now it used to be only in Detroit could you throw an object on the ice during a hockey game …
The information gleaned from newsletters, if you can curate them correctly, is invaluable. One of my favorites is Offball, which brings me info on sports like pop culture I don’t find elsewhere. This week was a little ditty about “Marty Supreme” and the misframed message of it’s what…it’s a story framed around table tennis, not …
We love garage sales don’t we? A chance to clear out the closets, or for those on the prowl, a chance to find some hidden gems. What’s ones trash is another’s treasure? The same is true for college athletic departments and teams of all sizes. Now this isn’t the same as a sale, say the US …

Simple one, especially when you have a paint company…PPG…as your arena sponsor. For the second year in a row, the Pittsburgh Penguins allowed season ticketholders onto the ice to paint …
It is a tradition that has been quietly happening for years, but thanks to some opportunistic marketing folks is steadily turning into a hot stove event that could actually transcend baseball and into other sports. It is “Truck Day,” the day when MLB clubs in cold weather cities literally load up their 18 wheelers with team …
Records are made to be broken in sport, and sometimes they literally are a lot of fun that come tumbling down. Case in point last week when the Edmonton Oil Kings set a new standard for a hockey phenomenon, the Teddy Bear Toss. From The Maritimes to California, a hockey holiday rite of charity has …

Sometimes some of the most fun ideas come from the most unexpected places. Case in point, last week we had colleague Gillian Kemmerer in our class at Columbia to talk about her unique experiences working in the KHL pre Ukraine war, and she brought up several opportunities and best practices she had seen or heard …
