Top 35 Publicity Stunts in September

From Spoof Fast Food Streetwear to Beer-Branded Lattes

— September 28, 2019 — Marketing
A number of engaging September 2019 publicity stunts were introduced to give people the chance to get their hands on everything from uniquely designed streetwear pieces to free houses as part of special promotions.

Some of the most unexpected stunts include Sweet Dixie Kitchen launching the new sandwich from Popeyes following #Popeyesgate, beer brands launching their own appliance store pop-ups and online plant delivery shop Patch opening the doors to its very own hotel for plants—to care for them while plant parents are away on vacation.

Many publicity stunts are also centered on attracting new talent in unexpected ways, as well as offering incentives to support people who want to align themselves with their truest passions in life—some brands are even offering thousands of dollars to get people to quit their jobs and begin their dream adventures.
