SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
I have always loved CBS Sunday Mornings. Rare is the week that goes by when I don’t learn something about someone and something. I also really enjoy the features that run tied to sports, from the youth level to the professional and everything in between. Even if I feel I know the story, I always …
We say at the beginning of our podcast that the show is about disruption, innovation and big thinking, and three recent episodes, two of which are under a half hour and a third which we could have gone on for hours with, touch on all three. We go from what the Mets are doing to …
This past week in our class at Fordham we looked at the crisis issues in our business today, and how people extract, shorten the news cycle, and figure out how to best address and deal with the challenges we face.

It’s been a week since we were roaming the halls of The Hynes Convention Center, where we again came away with more from the MIT Sloan Sports Business Conference than what we gave. Some key takeaways from the rooms and the halls not just from the weekend, but for what to watch going forward. You …
We were scrolling through our local news site this morning when we saw the story…the one that always makes me smile this time of year…our local Robotics team once again kicking butt.

So much has been made with regard to cause marketing…it’s not just what do you stand for, but what are you doing to back up what you say? One of the consumer brands who spends widely in the highly competitive sandwich industry is Jersey Mike’s, and later this month, the chain, which started in Point Pleasant, …
I am a big believer in reframing older messages. You twist a phrase, move a comma, look at something from a different angle and suddenly there is a new message.
