Kneecap rapper faces mixed messages before Glasto gig
The band have embraced the controversy around the legal case. “It is always down to authenticity and to commitment when it comes to taking a political position,” says PR agent Mark Borkowski. “But then those are the artists who then get targeted by the music industry and by the state.”Last night, Keir Starmer added his voice to calls for Glastonbury to drop the rappers from performing on Saturday. He said it is “not appropriate” for the group to appear. “I think we need to come down really clearly on this. I won’t say too much, because there’s a court case…
Hypocrite Meghan CAUGHT OUT playing major power game – she knows exactly what she’s doing
Public Relations Consultant Mark Borkowski also agreed the image caught Meghan out for using the title for leverage.He said: “It’s clearly social capital. I mean, I think that I’m sure her PA uses it to ensure that she gets that top table at a restaurant.”He went on to add: “Of course it adds weight and she knows it adds weight. And it gives that sort of subliminal aura that she still has links with the British Royal Family, which is a very, very, very powerful brand globally, particularly in America.”And the fact is, if you are disconnected from that, of…
‘This presidency is a brand-franchise’: Trump has taken the commercialization of politics to a new level
“There was a lot of dialog when Trump returned to power that we would see in this term a particularly interesting residency in the White House about how much money would be made,” says marketing-PR guru Mark Borkowski, “and this is a typical Trump side-hustle playing off Maga patriotism.”The blurred lines between business and politics, impacting how candidates are portrayed, policies are shaped and voters engage with the political process – commonly referred to as the commercialization of politics – may not be Trump’s to own exclusively, but he’s taken it to a new level.“It is troubling, and more than…

Mark Borkowski, founder of Borkowski PR, tells Us Pitt’s Greek God looks do a lot of heavy lifting (“When you’re that genetically gifted, the scandal has to work twice as hard to stick,” he says), adding that the public forgives Pitt “because he never comes across as smug and seems vaguely apologetic for being Brad.” Indeed, Pitt took accountability for some of his behavior in a 2017 GQ story, saying he’d been “looking at my weaknesses and failures and owning my side of the street.” Says the first source: “The public has seen he’s someone who’s been able to be self-aware and self-reflective.

Can the Beckham brand survive reports of family feud?
He and Spice Girl wife Victoria created Brand Beckham – fusing fame, fashion and football to redefine modern stardom.”Their brand has always been about control of narrative, image, and legacy,” says PR expert Mark Borkowski. “The media didn’t chase them. They gave it a trail to follow – blending scandal with strategy and high-end deals.”Beckham “made metrosexuality mainstream”, he adds. “He showed working-class lads you could wear nail polish, model for Armani, champion grooming rituals – and still bend a free kick past the keeper at crunch time. All while embodying a very traditional ideal: devoted husband, hands-on dad, family…
Prince William and Prince Harry’s lives are worlds apart
PR and media consultant Mark Borkowski believes that the couple’s busy social-media strategy, including the unprecedented twerking video, is a way to keep themselves in the spotlight.”I think that, particularly in America and with the way the media is consumed, it is about not being out of the headlines,” he tells us. “They know that if they can keep the spotlight, there’s always a business deal, because if you’re launching something, you need attention. They have to generate money; they have, undoubtedly, a very expensive lifestyle.”Any noise that’s created around them gets eyeballs: that’s data, that’s clicks, that’s money. I…

But we still feed off of it because we are all culprits driven by twitching.”https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/jun/07/beckxit-beef-david-victoria-beckham-brooklyn-nicola-anne-peltz

But despite the ex-England captain’s carefully-curated image, “skeletons in his closet” are likely to have delayed the crowning honour. “Beckham’s alleged involvement in a tax avoidance scheme was a PR nightmare,” public relations expert Mark Borkowski told the Daily Express. “While the scheme wasn’t illegal, it struck a nerve with both the public and the establishment, especially in an era of heightened scrutiny on wealth inequality.Leaked emails that year also suggested the former footballer was desperate for a knighthood.

Meghan Markle warned against ‘chaotic’ approach after two-month absence
