Holywater & Owl & Co. Microdrama Insight Report

PR Campaign
Thursday 23rd July, 2026

Holywater opened anonymised user data from its My Drama and My Muse apps for Owl & Co. to analyse, producing “The State of Microdrama” report that highlights rapid viewership growth, surprising male engagement, romance dominance, AI acceptance, viewing habits (peak Sunday 8–10pm, many watch as a pre‑sleep ritual) and market size projections — a piece of original research designed to generate mainstream coverage about the vertical media trend.

Why it worked: It flipped an assumed truth with proprietary, at-scale user data—men surge and AI matches live-action—giving journalists fresh, counterintuitive headlines and charts.

The lesson: Consider releasing anonymized platform data that upends a cliché in your space, paired with one time-specific stat journalists can headline.

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 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.
