Mac Energy: Eight Days Post-Surgery

PR Campaign
Sunday 9th August, 2026

Mac Energy partnered with fitness influencer Ashton Hall and Conor McGregor on an action-film-style social video, featuring a helicopter jump, a sprint and a car leap. The hook was McGregor taking part just eight days after knee surgery, turning a branded shoot into an unexpectedly newsworthy sports story.

Why it worked: It hijacked McGregor’s injury news cycle with a dramatic “8 days post-surgery” stunt, reframing a rehab timeline as headline-grabbing defiance.

The lesson: Consider staging a high-contrast moment that flips an expected recovery/downtime narrative into a bold, safe-but-audacious micro-stunt tied to a clear timestamp.
