What is a publicity stunt in 2021?
Some say that in a social media age, every tweet, post and vlog is a publicity stunt. To be a mover and shaker in industries that traditionally wouldn’t need notoriety now requires hundreds of thousands of followers just to be respected.
So what can we learn today from a bow tie-wearing maverick responsible for famous PR stunts like chainsaw juggling, or flying Nando’s chicken in helium balloons over London?
Mark Borkowski is a notorious British PR Agent known for ruffling the feathers of the established class back in the 80’s. He’s pulled some of the most ingenious publicity stunts. He holds - for example - the World Record for the number of people involved in a custard pie fight - which promoted the opening of London’s Millenium Dome in 2000.
He’s also the author of a number of acclaimed books including The Fame Formula, and Improperganda: The Art of Publicity Stunts.
