Lily Allen’s Polka-Dot Butt Plug

PR Campaign
Monday 19th October, 2026

Lily Allen and Lovehoney launched a six-piece sex-toy collection, led by a pale-blue polka-dot butt plug inspired by a lyric on Allen’s album ‘West End Girl’. The design had already appeared as a collectible USB, giving the collaboration a playful way to turn an album reference into a real product.

Why it worked: It converted a cheeky album Easter egg into a tangible, timed product drop, creating headline-ready novelty with built-in fandom proof.

The lesson: Consider turning a throwaway lyric, prop, or meme from your brand into a limited object, timed to a relevant anniversary or milestone.

Where does the data come from?

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.
