‘How Louise Redknapp regained her mojo on Strictly after sacrificing her career for Jamie and their children’
The Daily Mirror, 06.07.17 PR guru Mark Borkowski believes this could be the beginning of Louise’s second wind – and that she could soon be commanding some very big figures with her talents. He says: “She will never be top of the charts again as she was but she’s going through another period and she could be just as popular to brands and people as Jamie is. “They’re the perfect double act, I suppose. She has fantastic earning potential. “With a good agent, she’s not going to make multiple millions but she will make a healthy amount.” Read the full…

Sport 2.0: crumbling traditions create a whole new ballgame
The Guardian, 14.06.17 Mark Borkowski, a PR and brand expert, insists that is a mistake. “I’m 100% sure that minority sports will suffer because it is about eyeballs and selling product and increasingly that’s what e-sports do,” he says. He has a further message for any doubters. “Once upon a time darts and snooker were seen as joke sports played in smoky men’s clubs, but now they are respectable. And I know there are a number of big agencies, who represent Hollywood stars, who are paying close attention to e-sports.” Read the full article here.

Who's that girl muscling in on film premieres?
The Times (Main), 23/05/2017, p.21, Jack Malvern One agent in Los Angles told The Hollywood Reporter that people with the biggest followings were being paid “more than $500,000 a year” for endorsements and appearances. Mark Borkowski, a British PR agent, said that it was questionable whether brands were spending money wisely. “The costs are eye-watering. For example, there’s an ex-rugby player who charges £13,000 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/whos-that-girl-muscling-in-on-film-premieres-r098cv983

Mark On Antony Joshua
The Guardian, 01.05.17 Mark Bokowski, PR and brand expert, expects that number to mushroom. “He represents hope,” says Borkowski. “That is why people buy into him. He also looks great – and he has a massive female following. His appeal goes far beyond boxing’s hardcore.” There is something else too. “He is also very honest, people like that transparency,” adds Borkowski. “After Saturday’s fight he made a big deal of praising Klitschko, and also said he hoped young kids watching would want to emulate and surpass what he had achieved. I don’t think those were media-trained soundbites. You are not…

Mark On Antony Joshua
The Sun, 01.05.17 But PR and marketing guru Mark Borkowski last night warned Joshua still has a long way to go before making a billion. He said: “One fight doesn’t make a billionaire boxer. You have got to make it in America and you have to be taken seriously by fans there. He’d have to have a series of fights in Las Vegas or Madison Square Garden in New York = the whole shooting match. I’m sure it’s a dream for him and it’s great that we are all leaping up and down. It was an extraordinary fight. Bust it’s…
