SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
As we wade through the unchartered waters of business life on hiatus it’s always good to draw from best practices past, especially ones that can help lead you forward. An example as in my basement file cabinet, here I keep the notebooks and legal pads that have spanned the better part of 30 years …
Friday night I randomly flipped through ESPN’s On demand menu and found “Requiem For The Big East,” which I hadn’t seen in quite a while, so I decided to watch for a few minutes; and then an hour and a half. I watched as a reminder of those original days of basketball but also to …
I never really chose the path to working for myself; it was kind of forced upon me when our MMA venture, the IFL, folded 12 years ago, and really three colleagues, Meredith Geisler, John Genzale and Jon Pessah, made me jump in the pool. With that came 12 years of learning, including how to best …

Sometimes by listening, you find some of the most amazing best practices being done in places you don’t expect. Case in point was a cup of coffee I was having with Matt Futterman, the New York Times’ deputy sports editor, on Thursday morning. Amongst the news of the day and catching up on other things, …
In the news cycle we are in today, with the ability to self-generate coverage and control a narrative while speaking directly to the audience we want to reach, the choice of when to break news seems to have become less of a “must do.” If you have a window in time, a good story and …
