Seth Rogen’s Sephora Holiday Gift Run

PR Campaign
Monday 26th October, 2026

Sephora cast Seth Rogen as a clueless holiday shopper who asks a beauty adviser for gift ideas, then tries a red-light therapy mask with his mum. The unexpected pairing of the comedian with a beauty campaign gives the retailer’s seasonal shopping message a warm, funny hook.

Why it worked: It flipped Sephora’s glamour trope by casting a non-beauty comedic star as an unsure shopper, delivering a timely holiday-help narrative with on-screen proof (advisor fixes list, mum cameo).

The lesson: Consider pairing an unexpected outsider with a common seasonal pain point and film them getting real-time help from an in-store expert.

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.
