SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
On Christmas Eve, 2007, Sports Illustrated…which was quite a big deal then… ran a back of the book story by Scott Price, who had the chance to play then-candidate Barack Obama in a game of basketball. The story showed casual sports fans, who many times are also politics averse, a side of the candidate that …
We are all challenged to make the best of the only thing we actually have full control over…our time. We make conscious choices to read, watch, play, sleep and on and on. It’s literally our call. As curious learners we also have to make sure that we are using that time to ingest information well …
My friend Dave Siroty is a curious learner, always asking questions and seeing what’s around him. We love to talk about the cool things you can see and learn if you are willing to engage and meet new people. Case in point from Dave this week…a niche business with a big upside…or downside depending on …
Twenty three years later still remains a very tough day for many. I have written about our experience that day at the USTA, and linked to the story that we played here, with both the positive and the negative. We lost 39 from Fordham and 26 from my high school Xaverian as well as so many …

The bigger the event, the bigger …
It’s another sad day in our country as a school shooting in Georgia shocks us for a second before the powers that be return to nonsense. So let’s find a sensible pivot. A revisit and an update on good. The worries we have about our children may ebb and flow, but they never really disappear, …
If you are well engaged with your audience, you know where, how and when they are engaged. In the esports world that may be on a Saturday, in global soccer it may be a Sunday morning. It is not as clear a path as it used to be. Now for wide ranging content, holiday weekends …
We have written several times on storytelling and its continued value in all forms; knowing who you are, what you do and being able to communicate that fact simply and succinctly in a world of white noise is more valuable today than ever before. Lots of screaming going on, but when you listen, what are …
We can’t express how important showing up is, especially if you are seeking anything…relationships, jobs, internships, meetings, funding etc etc. You don’t go, you miss out.
