Opera for All: Bella Ciao Mayors’ Video

PR Campaign
Monday 2nd November, 2026

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri teamed up in a surreal video, set to “Bella Ciao” and jokes about Roman numerals, to promote Opera for All. The programme will distribute 70,000 free Metropolitan Opera tickets for the 2026–27 season, including monthly lotteries for New Yorkers who have not bought tickets since 2019.

Why it worked: It fused hard news (70,000 free tickets, eligibility rules, timeline) with a surreal, meme-ready mayoral buddy video soundtracked by Bella Ciao.

The lesson: Consider pairing a concrete giveaway or policy change with a playful, unexpected celebrity/political cameo and culture-jamming soundtrack to earn embeds.

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?
