Dog.DogMeatSoup.72.200 Joey Skaggs will be infiltrating the Advertising Week EU Festival in London Tuesday, March 19, 2013. His presentation, introduced by PR guru Mark Borkowski, will be at 1:00pm at BAFTA.

He’ll talk about the art of the prank and the use of public relations and advertising strategies to rock the status quo. Skaggs, using multi-media examples of his work, will pull back the curtain on techniques he has used for decades to access the mass media, repeatedly throwing a monkey wrench into the propaganda machine.
