Face Int / Opinium UK FRT Public Consultation Survey

PR Campaign
Wednesday 13th May, 2026

Face Int commissioned Opinium to survey 2,000 UK adults about facial recognition use, publishing findings that 69% want public consultation and highlighting worries about errors, data storage, surveillance and racial bias to prompt debate and push organisations to be transparent.

Why it worked: It piggybacked a live policy vacuum with fresh, representative polling showing a clear public mandate (69%) for consultation—hard numbers journalists can headline.

The lesson: Consider fielding nationally weighted polling that quantifies a specific public mandate on a contested practice, then pitch the headline stat and tension.

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.
