Max
Markson is Mr PR in every sense of the title.
He
knows what words can do. Hell, they can start and end wars, strengthen or shatter
relationships and motivate or persuade our behaviour. Words
are powerhouses of influence. Hell, they can start and end wars, strengthen or
shatter relationships and motivate or persuade our behaviour. Just look at Max
Markson. No
amount of words can do justice to Markson's accomplishments over the year, however
Media Man will give it a damm good shot! Max
is a smart operator, professional and results driven. And is the owner of one
mean sense of humour, that has to be experienced to be believed. Trust me on this
one. It
all began in England, working for this father. Fast forward to now and he manages
the cream of Australia's and New Zealand's talent, and organizes charity functions
that sport the world's A-List - under the Markson Sparks! promotional umbrella. Max
started as a fish and has swum ever since. From a 7 year-old gill and scale performer
for his father's aqua performance business, Max has promoted rock concerts, pie
eating, belly flop and worm eating contests, dial-a-fruit-basket, part-time "Superman"
gigs, all the way up to selling big stories to Australia's "current affairs"
programs and promoting business functions with guest speakers including former
Presidents and Prime Ministers. Max
Markson is the manager of stars: Bob Hawke, Ita Butrose, Linda Evangelista, Greg
Matthews, Belinda Green, Jack Brabham, Kamahl, Pro Hart, Jane Flemming, "Aussie"
Joe Bugner, Dawn Fraser. Granted, some were public names before contact with Markson,
but "Maxy baby" helped kept them there. Max proudly proclaims, "I
can make anyone a star", and who's to argue? More than an individual promoter,
"Maxy" has represented, and brought success to the corporate world.
2WS, 2UE, 2GB, Reebok, Sargents Pies, Norgen-Vaaz, "The Mean Machine",
Women's Day, Channel 9, The Avillion Hotel The Variety Club and Sir Roden Cutler
Charities have all gained from the Markson magic. Is
Max pre-occupied with money? No. Max appreciates the currency of relationships.
Relationships have a value and cannot be bought. And no amount of money can replace
true friendship. Having had the pleasure of Max's company, he does possess the
personal touch. This guy is even known to break into song during interview! A
generous giver to charities, the media have largely ignored his benevolence, Team
Markson have raised many millions and he has helped many charities and businesses
stay afloat. Like
many, Max has suffered loss and misfortune. For example he lost $10,000 on a deal
gone bad, and was left with a T-shirt for his money, wharfs collapsing, lack of
water to dive into and even being left high and dry. Like the true champion he
is, Max moved forward and makes the deals that other promoters dream of. Markson
brokered the $500,000 Bob Hawke deal, that broke Australia's chequebook journalism
records. It's enough to have a journalist committed. And you thought Natasha Ryan
was big! All credit
to Max, he has turned the tables on the media. , "They" now pay him,
rather than the media charging "punters" and others, ridiculous amounts
of money just to get a guernsey. If
you ever have the opportunity to meet Max, take it. Wise advice, know-how and
his enthusiasm is contagious. Even
the brightest sparks can benefit from Max's wisdom. In his own words, "successful
business is based on Persistence, Enthusiasm and Focus". Max
Markson is the "down under" king of public relations and promotions.
His crown is likely to remain firmly positioned for some time. Interviews Media
