SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
The NFL rode the added 17th week into what plans to be a great offseason with markets and storylines galore. While we all look forward to playoff action, kudos to some of the best business initiatives that shouldn’t be missed from this past fall, all of which again are noteworthy and remind us how the …
Most times I have no idea where nuggets of curious learning are coming from. Case in point was on this week’s always interesting CBS Sunday with Jane Pauley. They had a feature on comedians who have embraced TikTok to expand their reach, including one of the best, Adam Waheed, who has focused entirely on the …
As New York State readies to welcome sports gambling this weekend, I thought about all those parking lots just across the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee that will now have less traffic from people wandering across the bridge to place geotargeted bets on their mobile devices now.

Still we have time for reflection and nostalgia, and while I am a big believer of taking a pause, year round really, and figuring what got done and what could be done differently personally and professionally, I am not a big one on lists of the past or for that matter, predictions of …
It’s a good week to talk about content creators. We had Dylan Sadiq, “The College Cuber,” and we recently caught up with “The King of NBA twitter,” Josiah Johnson on our podcast at Columbia (which we have just wrapped up six years doing by the way). Johnson, who ironically told us he had the unique …
In our class we often talk about how you distinguish yourself from those around you, what resonates when people close their eyes and see you as a person…how you stood out ever so subtly from the crowd. It doesn’t have to be loud, it doesn’t have to be brash, but identifying and then expanding the …
