From mobile theater trucks to tricky pranks, the most popular May 2015 publicity stunts show off a number of brands that were quick enough to spot a marketing opportunity and make the most of it.

When Zayn announced that he would be leaving One Direction, the quick-thinking minds at Kleenex set up a tissue station by the wax figure of Zayn at Madame Tussaud's. Similarly, Burger King made sure to make a big deal about the engagement of Joel Burger and Ashley King, offering to pay in full for the Burger-King wedding ceremony. Often crafted on the fly, the simplicity and quick turnaround of these publicity stunts commonly go viral online.
