Superbowl fun facts from Aaron's class

Aaron Kolodny's notes from Professor, John Rollins, Managing Sports Business class. Seems like a great class!

The projected Super Bowl revenue is approximately $620 Million with media broadcast revenue accounting for $375 Million and each 30 second commercial costs approximately $5 Million with a one-minute advertisement costing approximately $9 Million.

This event is a financial boom and a logistical nightmare for local economies. What once was just a football game has turned into a marketing fiasco.

It is estimated that over 200 Million will watch the game this February.

The Super Bowl now consists of 10 days of activities: parties, concerts, receptions, a fan village, media day, appearances by players and celebrities and more.

Companies and sponsors spend millions to be associated with the Super Bowl and in conjunction help build and enhance the Super Bowl brand.Moreover, the Super Bowl is a solid economic impetus for the host city with companies putting together weeklong entertainment packages for their clients with lavish perks.

The NFL has something unique that ultimately everyone wants to be a part of and price is not a deterrent.

Here's to a great game this weekend!

The Marketing Success of Mailchimp

Today in the October 5th New York Times there was a wonderful article published about the success of a small business called MailChimp and how they accomplished this while taking the road less traveled. According to the article there are two ways to create a business. The first is the typical way a business gets started; a young entrepreneur comes up with an innovative idea, next is the creation of a prototype along with participating in a start-up boot camp.

If everything works out and the product is successful it’s time for the founders to enter the haphazard mode called expansion. This usually translates to selling off the company piece by piece for huge chunks of money from venture capitalists. Then, once a few years have passed, if all goes well, the founders hit it big time and then BANG their set. The second and less well known option is just ...

Write Your Own Career Ticket With an M.S. in Finance

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” We don’t think legendary children’s book author, Dr. Seuss, was really talking about getting a Master’s degree in Finance when he wrote “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” — but he sure delivered some great advice. That’s because every business, every nonprofit, every government on earth needs financial know-how to succeed. Think about it: marketing can grow an organization and visionary leadership can fast track it down the right path, but only a solid command of finance and accounting can ensure that an enterprise survives and thrives year after year. Career Options from Classic to Cutting-Edge What does that mean if you’re considering a Master’s in Finance? More traditionally, an M.S. in Finance means you’ll graduate with a skill set so universally recognized, so in demand, that you’ll be able to write your own ticket working...
