DIGITAL PR SPOTLIGHT CAMPAIGNS

Our spotlight campaigns are back and we’re excited to highlight five of our favourite pieces of content we’ve worked on this quarter. Over the last couple of months, we’ve been producing strategies that blend seasonal and evergreen campaigns across various sectors such as finance, travel, retail, and more. This approach allows us to target multiple niches to maximise outreach opportunities. Check out our top campaigns below:

Photogenic Unis

Ever scrolled through social media and seen a picture of a university campus that looks straight out of a fairytale? Some universities have an undeniable aesthetic appeal. For our client Immerse Education, we decided to analyse which ones are generating the most buzz on social media by looking at the number of Instagram and TikTok posts. Based on our findings, we’ve ranked the top 10 most aesthetic universities in the UK and worldwide. This way, you can choose a university that not only looks great on your CV but also on your social media feed!

  • Analysing the data has allowed us to draw comparisons between different locations, introducing a competitive aspect that resonates with readers.

Euros Mapped

While football may not have come home this time, the UK undoubtedly had lively fan zones to watch during the Euros 2024. For our client Betway, we aimed to find the best in the country by analysing data including the average price of entry, the venues’ Google ratings, the number of Google searches, the price of a soft drink, and the cost of transportation. This helped us create the ultimate guide on the best UK fan zones.

Wedding Capitals

Making your wedding day everything you have dreamed of involves making numerous tough decisions and choosing the right location is crucial. To identify the best U.S. cities for weddings, we conducted research for our client Shane Co. on the percentage of local wedding-related businesses with “award-winning” status, the average cost of a wedding, annual sunshine levels, and the number of wedding-related Instagram posts in each location. This helped us find the cities with the top wedding suppliers offering customised experiences.
