Dove’s “Situationship” Chocolate Ad

PR Campaign
Thursday 12th November, 2026

Dove’s Chinese e-commerce operator, Zongzheng Food, created an ad showing a woman receiving chocolates from a man she was in a “situationship” with after her boyfriend ignored her. The provocative relationship scenario sparked online backlash, an apology from Dove and a $120,000 fine from Shanghai authorities.

Why it worked: It fused a moral crack‑down with a familiar global brand, using an official fine as hard news that elevated a culture‑war flashpoint.

The lesson: Consider pitching fresh, timely enforcement data or rulings that collide with a relatable human scenario to turn controversy into hard news.

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.
