Unfinished Stories: Breast Cancer Perception Survey

PR Campaign
Thursday 1st October, 2026

For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the National Breast Cancer Foundation commissioned a survey of 1,003 Australians to reveal how much people underestimate breast cancer’s impact. It found many misjudge diagnosis numbers, recurrence and daily deaths, giving the campaign a clear news hook: despite progress in treatment, the disease remains a serious and varied challenge.

Why it worked: It paired a stark counterintuitive stat (nine deaths a day despite progress) with fresh, commissioned survey data quantifying a perception gap.

The lesson: Consider fielding a quick, nationally weighted poll that exposes a widespread misconception, then lead with one shocking, time-pegged stat.

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.
