SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Even at big events on the grandest of stages, little things matter. They matter also on small stages thrust into the spotlight as well. Such was the case in four fun stops last week in and around the Big Apple. First was a night at The Paley Center for what was essentially a coming out …
“Walk the balance between humility and confidence.” There were so many tidbits of wisdom that applied to every one of the over five hundred attendees at the Columbia University Sports Management Conference in Lerner Hall on October tenth, but that quote from Unrivaled Basketball Commissioner Micky Lawler in the opening panel on emerging sports helped …
We touched on this a year ago, and sadly, the craze of NIL has made it no better. It amazes me still how college athletics, for all the big, disruptive, smart minds on campuses, still reverts back to tactics that were in play 25 years ago. While we know mow much college sports can be …
There was a time in the middle of the last century where St. John’s University and St. Francis College were located just blocks apart. In fact my dad, Vinnie Favorito, attended SJU just after it went east to Queens, while his brother, my Uncle Mario, matriculated at St. Francis on Remsen Street, before they both …
“Curiosity is more important than intelligence.” It was that quote from MIT Sloan that has stuck with me as I looked back on a grand few weeks up and down the Northeast Corridor from Washington to Philly to New York to Boston and back. It was a wonderful few weeks of our own form of …

? @D1ticker Sub-story: 10 years from now we’ll still be remarking how @DigSportsDesk beat a laundry list of high-profile media outlets to break the UConn-Big East news. 12:37 PM – 22 Jun 2019 We always love stories of hustle, especially when it involves colleagues, and Terry Lyons falls into those categories. For several years Terry, …
The value of coaches as great teachers has probably never been higher than it is in the distracted world we live in today. Colleague Dave Siroty penned this piece on Seton Hall’s longtime baseball skipper Mike Sheppard, who passed away this past week. “Shep” along with a handful of other coaches like the late Rutgers …
Sometimes you find great stories, and opportunity, in the strangest places. Case in point, while on vacation in Alaska at Denali National Park a few weeks ago we came across a very unique branded water. Its packaging was unique, its sustainable message was very clear; its reusability was very handy. It wasn’t Evian, or Poland …
