Beyoncé’s Cécred i-D Cover

PR Campaign
Monday 26th October, 2026

To mark Cécred’s expansion into the UK, Beyoncé returned to the cover of i-D for the first time in 20 years. The special edition pairs a striking, barely-dressed cover image with an eight-page feature and interview, putting the hair-care brand at the centre of a high-profile fashion moment.

Why it worked: It fused a rare-access moment (first i-D cover in 20 years) with a provocative visual tied directly to the product, creating must-cover tension.

The lesson: Consider engineering a scarce “first-in-years” appearance anchored to a bold image that physically interacts with your product or logo.

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.
