Hankook Off-Road Interest Survey
Hankook Tire commissioned and published a national survey of 1,000 US drivers showing a big rise in interest in off-roading, with breakdowns by generation, vehicle preference (SUVs/pickups) and fuel choice—data positioned to generate mainstream coverage about a growing outdoor trend.
Why it worked: It hooked journalists with fresh year-over-year growth data (64% vs 34%) plus clean generational splits that underpin a broader lifestyle trend.
The lesson: Consider fielding a repeatable poll that quantifies a fast-rising behavior year-over-year, sliced by age and choice, with a clear headline stat.
