SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
“In the future, everyone will have a podcast and an email newsletter for 15 minutes.” That little tweet from my longtime friend and colleague Jim Maiella a few years ago really summed up the rush to storytell and create authoritative share of voice these days, albeit into a crowded marketplace and sometimes, without fully know who, why …
There is a scene in the TV show “The Odd Couple” where Felix and Oscar are trying to fly to Houston together to help eliminate Felix’s fear of flying. It was optimal as Oscar was going to cover a Houston vs. San Diego NFL game and they could travel together. The problem was the plane was …
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.

I love listening and learning from young people about what they see, what they enjoy and what makes a difference to them in the industry.

The bye weekend for the NFL was taken over by the Olympics, the NHL All-Star Game, and NASCAR’s latest forward-thinking event (at the LA Coliseum), but for those with a jones for football you had the Pro Bowl…and the Reese’s Senior Bowl. Two events that maybe the casual fan would not ordinarily dial in to, …
GUEST POST: As we have done from time to time, we have featured some great storytelling and best practices from guest writers. Here is a good one all Giannis from Scott Trick. Scott has collected sports cards since the early 80’s and because of his love for collecting he started the website sports card authority. …
It has been an interesting and insightful first month of the year, capped off for me by a word…and a theme…that continues to pop up in a glass hall full start to 2022. Joy. I thought about joy many times this month, when I read Jon Wertheim’s great piece in Sports Illustrated on Tom Brady. …
