Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods Become Game of Thrones Characters

PR Campaign
Sunday 25th October, 2026

For Halloween, Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods transformed into the Night King and a White Walker, complete with elaborate prosthetics and special-effects makeup. HBO Max shared behind-the-scenes footage of the artists who created the looks, giving fans a peek at how the couple brought the fantasy characters to life.

Why it worked: It piggybacked on Halloween timeliness and celebrity visibility, but won coverage by releasing exclusive behind‑the‑scenes prosthetics footage from HBO Max.

The lesson: Consider packaging a timely cultural moment with exclusive process access—drop short BTS content that reveals craft and solves “how did they do that?”

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.
