With the Daytona 500 set to get NASCAR in gear this weekend, we looked to our friends at MVP Index to tell who leads the social race in North America’s most engaged and entertaining sport on wheels. The winner: Dale Jr. Here’s the breakdown. Dale Earnhardt, Jr – 10/1 odds to win the 500 and …
We hit a bit of a lull between NHL All-Star Weekend, the Super Bowl, Australian Open done and NBA All-Star weekend next week, so what better time to talk NASCAR communications. The 2015 season will really open with Daytona on February 22, but the business never really slows down these days. One person who has …
On this Giving Back Tuesday we thought it appropriate to talk to someone about sports and philanthropy, so we reached out to our colleague Harrie Bakst. Harrie has really helped shape the world of sports, entertainment and philanthropy through his work at Weinstein Carnegie with business partner Sara Weinstein.

As Memorial Day is upon us here in the States, it is interesting to take a quick look at a group that is passionate, young, loyal, appreciative, athletic, budget conscious and enthusiastic, yet is among one of the most underserved groups for brands looking to reach the male demo and grow a fan base…the men …
As we reach Opening Day of the MLB season the annual lament about baseball needing to attract a younger audience starts again. While there is no doubt that every sport wants to grab younger folks and engage more with every medium possible with its fans, the pact is that we as a society are still …
Vibrant, relevant, different, important to new fans. That’s what people are saying about Indy Car’s new partnership with Verizon, a mega-player in sports business if there ever was one in the U.S. today.
