iPhone 17 Pro Live MLS Broadcast

PR Campaign
Wednesday 3rd December, 2025

Apple filmed and will stream an MLS match (LA Galaxy vs Houston Dynamo) on Apple TV using only 15 iPhone 17 Pro handsets positioned around the stadium, promoting the phone’s cinematic video capabilities by capturing the entire live sporting event — a first for a major professional match.

Why it worked: It framed a clear first-ever milestone (“entire pro match shot on phones”) timed to a season pause, with verifiable tech specs and access.

The lesson: Consider staging a credible ‘first-ever’ live demo in a real, high-stakes setting with measurable constraints and third‑party partners.

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan thousands of news sources, 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 scans thousands of news outlets across the UK, US, Europe and beyond - from national papers to trade press. If it's being published online, we're probably reading it.

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 the number of articles. Simple as that. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach - just raw volume. The campaigns at the top are the ones generating the most stories right now.
