Trending PR Campaigns
Waitrose Wellbeing Bays
Waitrose launched dedicated Wellbeing Bays across its shops, online and via Uber Eats, bringing more than 40 trending products together across categories such as collagen, creatine, hydration and gut health. The hook was positioning specialist wellness products as an everyday supermarket shop, supported by Waitrose search data showing sharp rises in demand.
Why it worked: Claiming a verified “supermarket first,” backed by hard in-house search spikes, gave journalists a timely retail trend proof-point.
The lesson: Consider pitching a credible “category first” anchored in your own spike data and a clear in-store or product-format change.
