A publicity[2] stunt is a planned event designed to garner media attention and create buzz around a particular product, person, or cause. It is often used in marketing and relations publiques[1] as a way to generate wide-scale awareness and interest. Examples of publicity stunts include J.P. Morgan Jr.’s circus stunt in 1933, the Calendar Girls fundraising stunt in 1999, and the money distribution by PEACE in German cities in 2013. These events aim to capture public and media attention, often having a significant impact on the entity they are promoting. Publicity stunts can range from the outrageous to the innovative, but all share a common goal: to capture and hold the public’s attention. They can be an effective tool in marketing and public relations, provided they are carefully planned and executed, and resonate with the intended audience.

2. publicity. Publicity, derived from the French word 'publicité', is a strategic promotional tool aimed at intentional consumer exposure. It began in the 19th century United States where companies utilized explanations, demonstrations, and exaggerations to gain public attention. Later, the approach was refined by Albert Lasker who introduced consumer psychology into advertising. Though often mistaken as a form of sales promotion, publicity serves as a result of public relations, providing favorable information to media and third-party outlets. The role of a publicist is crucial in this realm, as they generate, manage, and shape publicity to influence the public's view of companies, individuals, or works. Negative publicity, while potentially damaging to a brand's reputation and revenue, can be managed through strategies such as corporate social responsibility (CSR). Despite the common misconception, a significant portion of publicity is not free but paid for.
