Heated Rivalry’s ‘Canadian Wolf Bird’ Plush

PR Campaign
Tuesday 13th October, 2026

Youtooz, Hot Topic and Crave turned a fan-favourite line from Heated Rivalry into an officially licensed plush loon. The soft toy recreates Ilya’s description of the bird as a “stupid Canadian wolf bird”, giving fans a specific, humorous piece of the show to take home.

Why it worked: It piggybacked on a viral catchphrase with official licensing and instant buy-link availability, turning an inside joke into a tangible, shoppable moment.

The lesson: Consider mining a micro-quote fans obsess over, secure rights, and drop a ready-to-buy novelty item timed to ongoing buzz.

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.
