A Publicity 1 Stunt 2 


Hank: What’s that for? 


Svetlana: This costume? I’m planning a publicity stunt to get our store more business. 


Hank: You think that dressing 3 up as a giant banana will get our store more business? 


Svetlana: We need to get media coverage 4 for the grand opening of our store and attract as much attention as possible. I’ll be on hand to give sound bites and organize photo ops. 


Hank: How does a giant banana tie into our store? 


Svetlana: It doesn’t directly, but trust me, it’ll get noticed. 


Hank: I was thinking of a traditional marketing 5 campaign, more along the lines of holding a contest or a giveaway. And I don’t see how a giant banana is going to get media attention. 


Svetlana: The person in the giant banana costume will skydive into the parking lot of the store. 


Hank: What idiot have you convinced to do that? 


Svetlana: Well, that’s actually why I’m here...
