MARK BORKOWSKI: Publicity stunts in 2021; How to grab attention and shape your story

The Jax Jones and Martin Warner Show

Publicity stunts often make us think of typical Mad Men with crazy ideas to capture the attention of newspaper editors. Or celebtrities making a fake announcment on Instagram, and retracting it once they've been trending a while. Some say that in 2021, 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 baloons over London?
