TOMBSTONE Candy Corn Pizza

PR Campaign
Wednesday 30th September, 2026

For Halloween, TOMBSTONE created two limited-edition pizzas topped with candy corn: one with pepperoni and one with five cheeses. Billing them as “The Pizza Nobody Asked For” gave the seasonal launch a playful, divisive hook, with kits sold exclusively on the brand’s website.

Why it worked: It hijacked a heated seasonal debate with a stunt product, sharpened by self-deprecating framing and a scarce, time-locked drop.

The lesson: Consider launching a limited online-only “nobody asked for this” edition that playfully tackles a polarising debate your audience already argues about.

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.
