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?
