IBM K-12 AI Readiness Study and Fellowship

PR Campaign
Wednesday 2nd September, 2026

IBM commissioned a national survey of educators and parents showing that AI adoption in schools is moving faster than training and guidance. It used the findings to launch a fellowship for education leaders, creating a timely news hook around the gap between classroom use and responsible AI readiness.

Why it worked: They paired fresh, quantifiable gap data (76% using AI weekly vs 20% trained) with an immediate fix (new fellowship), making a clear, actionable tension newsworthy.

The lesson: Consider commissioning credible data to expose a readiness gap, then launch a small, concrete program that directly closes it this quarter.

FAQs

What is this?

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan lots of different news sources and use AI to spot the campaigns behind the stories, and show you which ones are getting the most traction right now. Think of it as a live leaderboard of what's working in PR.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.

Why isn't my campaign listed?

If you've launched a PR campaign recently and it's not included in here, and you think it should be - drop us a note and we'll investigate.
