SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
A busy few days in San Diego for NWSL Championship…some thoughts and observations form the road… NIKE with a submission as stunt. It’s a great play for a partner looking to draw some ancillary buzz…with no downside. Nike last week “announced” they were submitting the NWSL in the “Best Drama” category for the Golden Globe …
There are lots and lots of buzz…and business being done around “women’s sports” as we probably all know. Comments like “arrival,” “movement not moment,” “get on board” are bandied about time and again. Yet for all the enthusiasm there is still the whispering that certain teams and leagues are still in their relative infancy compared …
I always learn something from Peter King’s FMIA column. So much so that it usually takes me three or four times to read and digest the pieces, it’s a big meal for a little brain like me. One of the thought starters this week was his feature on Andrew Luck’s college center at Stanford, Sam …
Sometimes we think about the going’s on and remark, “That’s one for the book” (whenever I get to update it). Then there are the past ten days or so where it’s much more like a whole chapter of learnings falls in place. Some of it is part of “aha” moments, some comes from the unexpected, …

“This is the business we have chosen.” I was thinking about that line from The Godfather from Hyman Roth (The legendary actor Lee Strasburg) as all the PGA Tour LIV Golf news played out, and continues to play out over the coming days, weeks and months. It is the latest, and not the last, time …
We have had an amazing few months listening to people from a wide swath of backgrounds tell their stories of success and innovation. Thanks to our summer intern, Drew Antin, we can doculent and summarize many of these podcats, so no time better to get it going than a holiday weekend. First up we listen …
Last winter the world was captivated by Argentina taking the World Cup in Qatar. What made it even more emotional was the fact that legendary announcer, and Argentinian, Andres Cantor, was on the call for Telemundo. Not only did we have the sound of Cantor’s voice, we got to see him through a feed that …
It’s not new globally but it is simple, easy to engage and not hard to understand. Will Red Nose Day, May 26, make it to success on this side of the pond as it has for 30 years in the UK? For those who have not seen the ads or watched the promotions especially across all the NBC …
