SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
A few weeks ago our class served as a good reminder for what communicative storytelling for a team was all about, and how it has evolved over the years. However for as much as things have evolved I was also reminded that those who do their craft well, keep the business moving, especially when they …
There is a story I thought was a bit of an urban sports legend. Way back when Title IX came into being, the NCAA realized that each men’s sport had to have a companion women’s sport…baseball to softball etc. However football had no women’s football so volleyball was designated against it for any number of reasons, …

This time of year it is always interesting to note those looking to reinvent themselves and find ways to pivot into what’s next as a calendar year ends, and a new one begins. Many of those are north of 50, looking to again figure out the next chapter, which we wrote about recently. Maybe that’s …
