Coca-Cola GB’s Local Royalty

PR Campaign
Wednesday 28th October, 2026

Coca-Cola GB commissioned royal portrait artist Nicky Philipps to paint Pindy Kaur, who runs Barnsley’s Monk Bretton Ocean Fish Bar. The portrait celebrates independent businesses’ place in their communities and gives a local chip shop owner the royal-portrait treatment; it will be shown at London’s Saatchi Gallery.

Why it worked: It hijacked royal iconography via Nicky Philipps to confer unexpected grandeur on a chippy owner, creating a sharp, status-flip news hook.

The lesson: Consider crowning an everyday community figure with a culturally elite format or venue to invert status and force instant coverage.

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.
