Sporty wines raise money for charity
Rocky Mountain News - Denver, CO, USA - Raise your glass for a good cause. And your favorite athlete.

In an unusual and surprisingly successful blend of sports and retail philanthropy, a wine company is launching its second vintage of athlete-endorsed wines that raise money for charity.

Since 2007, Boston-based Charity Wines has raised more than $400,000 for various causes through sales of wines bearing the images of athletes such as Manny Ramirez, Cam Neely and Dan Marino.

This year, the company will introduce several dozen new baseball-themed wines, including Santana's Select Merlot (New York's Johan Santana), Cabernet Glavingnon (Atlanta's Tom Glavine) and Vintage Papi (Boston's David Ortiz).

'Apprentice' pioneers integrated ads
Variety - Los Angeles, CA, USA - In episode one, "Meet the Billionaire," which originally aired Jan. 8, 2004, eight-member teams Versacorp and Protege went head to ambitious, young, entrepreneurial head on the streets of Manhattan in a quest to see which could generate the most cash selling lemonade.

It was just lemonade -- neither Sunkist nor Countrytime nor any other citrus beverage company, had anything to do with it. And 18.5 million viewers -- the seventh most for any series that week -- drank up this dignity-defying spectacle, as 31-year-old venture capitalist David Gould became the first contestant on NBC's "The Apprentice" to get fired by Donald

Show an upscale demo surprise for NBC
Variety - Los Angeles, CA, USA - When NBC launched "The Apprentice" in 2004, advertisers were still holding their noses when it came to reality TV.

Sure, they'd dived into the form, and skeins like "Survivor" and "American Idol" were fully embraced by media buyers. Yet there was still a lingering mindset among advertisers that unscripted fare attracted lower-rent demos.

At NBC, that wasn't far from the truth -- "Fear Factor" wasn't exactly attracting the Lexus crowd. But then came "The Apprentice."

The Donald Trump-fronted competish skein sent a strong message to Madison Avenue: Reality TV can offer the same upscale environment as a top-tier drama.

Soon enough, "The Apprentice" was

Nike launches female athletes respect campaign
Bizjournals.com - Charlotte, NC, USA - Nike Inc. on Friday launched its multi-platform campaign, "ATHLETE," featuring world-class athletes Mia Hamm, Gabby Reece, Picabo Street and Serena Williams, among others, demanding that female athletes everywhere be respected and judged on their athletic abilities.

After speaking with young female athletes across the United States, Nike found they still feel "unequal" when it comes to being respected in sports.

"I am an athlete," Mia Hamm defiantly states before streetballer Alvina Carroll closes the spot saying ... "It's not a girl thing. It's not a boy thing. It's a skills thing."
