SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
This past summer, when we had nothing better to do, we dispatched our intern Wynne Kenna on a project we had wondered about. How many teams, in the four men’s major leagues (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB) still print materials? It came about after the time we spent in and around FIFA for both the Club …
While the Yankees season hangs in the ALDS balance, a recent, sightly below the radar business announcement for the club caught my eye, and showed how far sports has come in recent years. It’s a quiet first for one of the most famous franchises in professional sports: free tampons from Sequel, the first tampon company …
This past week Doug Glanville had a great read on his why for MLB Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt. It takes us through the young Glanville through his encounters as a Major Leaguer and beyond, and reenforced the power of friendship, mentorship and leadership over the decades. You can read it here. Reading the story …
A few years ago at the Sloan MIT Sports Conference I was walking the outer hallway and listening to the pitches of those starting businesses and culling ideas in search of an “aha” moment.

Spread the love I get asked all the time how I manage…well…time, and I use this quote from William Penn that i have on hand. “Time is what we want the most and use the worst.” -William Penn It’s hard, especially without routine or with so many things flashing in and out of what is …
There I was at Citifield Monday night when suddenly bats were around us seated on the rightfield line. They were less there to honor Pete Alonso’s return and more to honor the author Rebecca Yarros, whose latest addition of her Fourth Wing series was part of a Mets collab for fans of the series, many …
I love learning from coaches and one of the biggest areas most talk about…but most in business hate to…is learning from loss. No matter who you are in the zero sum game of sport, you will lose probably more than you win, and while we dwell on the big moments…everyone’s fans are the best, our …
I enjoy learning from the deeper dive sports shows we get to see on platforms like Netflix and HBO. Having always been a fan of “Hard Knocks” I was interested to see what this season would bring us, chronicling the defending champion Seattle Seahawks, while also watching Netflix’s new season of “Quarterback.” Both have delivered. …
