The 76-Hour School Run

PR Campaign
Sunday 6th September, 2026

Citroën commissioned research revealing that UK parents spend an average of 76 hours a year on the school run, framing the routine as both a source of stress and valuable family time. The findings gave the brand a timely media hook to promote its car-comfort credentials.

Why it worked: It quantified a universal pain point with a crisp, back-to-school stat (76 hours), then linked relief to a clear product feature (comfort).

The lesson: Consider timing a fresh, single-number stat to a seasonal moment, then offer one actionable fix that your product uniquely enables.

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.
