Philadelphia Treasure Hunt 2026

PR Campaign
Monday 12th October, 2026

From 13 to 17 October, Stack’s Bowers Galleries and @findthecashphl hid a prize certificate at a different Philadelphia location each day. Clue videos sent people racing to find the certificates, which could be exchanged for rare coins, historic currency, gold and other prizes worth up to $3,500.

Why it worked: A fixed daily drop time with POV hiding videos turned the promo into a real-time citywide race, guaranteeing predictable, visual, local-news moments.

The lesson: Consider staging time-locked, clue-led drops with redeemable certificates and live hints to create daily, hyperlocal, journalist-friendly appointment coverage.

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.
