SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
As we wade through the unchartered waters still even as most normalcy returns, it’s always good to draw from best practices past, especially ones that can help lead you forward. I was reminded of this several times this week, first by someone who asked (it happens at least once a month) what page I circled …
It is getting to be March Madness time. As “The Big Dance” approaches, the hand wrenching for those who make the show will heat up, and it can be arduous for those on the outside looking in. So many factors have to fall in place to make things work. Ironically as we head toward COVID …
It’s President’s Day Weekend, and sadly those looking to turn the sports page from the NFL to pitchers and catchers are being met with silence and frustration as the MLB Lockout delays the start of spring training, and maybe but hopefully not, the opening of the baseball season at the end of March.

Three items to note from the week… Wheaties Tries A Reboot Wheaties is turning 100, and it’s celebrating by bringing back the most iconic athlete in its history. Michael Jordan will grace the box once again, appearing for the 19th time on the packaging. Continuing its long history of positioning itself as a healthy breakfast …
There was a time not too long ago when many thought that audio as a medium was almost dead. We live in a video world, we need to see things, no one has time to sit by a radio… Then along came Siri and Alexa, podcasting, and Itunes and digital audio and Sirius/XM and I …
