Trending Topics
In addition to the newsworthy headlines above, the PR Newswire team spotted several larger trending topics dominating headlines in October:
- Halloween: Spooky season was in full effect last month. Companies turned to PR Newswire to send their Halloween releases, covering treats (of course), events and more. Halloween mainstays like Spirit Halloween, Kroger, SOUR PATCH KIDS and Ferrero shared some of the popular holiday headlines. Other, perhaps unexpected, brands also got in on the action, including a survey from Dating.com, safety tips from MADD and haunted house real estate data from Clever Real Estate.
- Breast Cancer Awareness Month: In addition to healthcare companies, brands across the consumer, tech, sports and other industries shared news of their breast cancer awareness initiatives in October. Among the headlines: Human Longevity extended its $1 million Cancer Prevention Pledge to include breast cancer; the Know Your Lemons app announced updates to improve early detection; Ambetter from Superior HealthPlan hosted a community health fair that included a mobile mammography unit, at AT&T stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys; and Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT debuted a national digital billboard campaign promoting early detection.
- Quarterly Earnings: The final earnings season of the year kicked off in mid-October and featured quarterly reports from Lockheed Martin, Southwest Airlines, IBM, Meta, and GM, among many others.
Coming Up: The November calendar is packed with newsworthy events. The team is of course expecting Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday releases to dominate. But earnings will also continue to flow during the first half of the month. Other events like the Los Angeles Auto Show, World Diabetes Day, Veterans Day, Men’s Health Awareness Month and World Kindness Day are likely to generate waves of releases as well.
