SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
It has been the joyful summer of drinking from the sports business firehouse, and the real fun of this all is very little was predictable. The Knicks run, the World Cup (I still have my notes to formulate), The MLB and WNBA All-Star Games have all given us pause to smile and appreciate above the …

It’s that time of year where the requests for help with jobs, internships, college choices come from parents and recent grads in droves.
