SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
This week, from just before Halloween into the run up to Thanksgiving, always seems to be quite the tumultuous one. We usually have some Election drama, have had a massive snowstorm, Super Storm Sandy, the tragic plane crash in Jamaica, Queens in 2001, and sometimes, sometimes, even things like the 2015 World Series to keep …
A few weeks ago, we had a fun conversation with Roman Tirone, who is helping lead the charge with ZEDRun and virtual horse racing’s success here in the United States and it made us ask a bigger question about the value of predictive data as it can apply to virtual sports, or even matchups in …
We aren’t all the way back, as we have seen last second disruptions with positive tests in soccer and golf and boxing in recent weeks, along with the continued mental strain, and physical strain athletes are enduring, but the last few days has reminded us that sports…as a live entertainment vehicle, is like no other. …

It’s always great to be learning, and this weekend we got a little peak into seeing how the effective social media sausage gets made yet again. Picture if you will next week at the NFL Draft and Trevor Lawrence goes with the top pick. He gets his hat, does his socially distanced interview and instead …
A few weeks ago, we turned in the minivan for a hybrid CRV. All has gone well with the new ride, but it reminded my how much “hybrid” is going to keep playing into our person and professional worlds as we transition into a place where face to face and “virtual” will have to find …
One of the top priorities for any sports property is finding ways to lure the fans of tomorrow. Fishermen go where the fish are. And for sports marketers fishing for kids?
