Agency head,
Borkowski PR
Mark Borkowski founded his eponymous agency in 1987 and, over the past 20 years, has developed it into one of the most reputable PR companies, working on consumer brands as well as with a celebrity, arts and entertainment division.
Client experience includes Vodafone, Tiscali, P&O, Eurostar, Smartcar, Lotus, Hovis, Virgin Megastores, Selfridges, Harrods, Norwich Union, Thorntons, Horlicks, Bacardi, Gordon´s Gin, Hasbro UK, Cirque du Soleil, Archaos, MAMMA MIA!, Cabaret, The Three Tenors, Michael Jackson and Prince, amongst others.
Mark is also recognised as a pundit on PR, the media and celebrity and is regularly asked to give television and radio interviews. He lectures to the industry, to corporate trade associations and at academic institutions.
His column, Stuntwatch, appears at Guardian Online and he is also frequently commissioned to write for other publications. His book, Improperganda: The Art of the Publicity Stunt, sold around the world and his second book, on the history of Hollywood´s great publicists, is due for release through Macmillan in 2008.
What distinguishes Mark from other publicists and what forms an intrinsic part of his appeal to corporate clients, is the pure showmanship of some of his PR, which has resulted in the execution of some astonishing, spectacular and memorable stunts for client campaigns.
