SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
I decided to reach out to a wide swath of communications folks over the weekend and asked them questions on best practices, lessons learned and challenges. Will post them as they come this week…starting off with three wise men… Kirk Reynolds, Ray Ridder of the Warriors and Josh Rawitch of the Diamondbacks. Interested form having …
We are all resigned to when we do come out of the current situation, the business of sports will not be what it was before March 12 for some time. We have seen the images that foreshadow what we will see in North America being played on the diamonds of South Korea and Taiwan, and …
One of the best things about the consulting world is the ability to listen and learn from people with varied points of view and interests from around the world.
