The daylight savings clock change often plays havoc with children’s sleep routine, so License to PR leaned into the relatable sleep loss theme to help make bedtimes a breeze for new parents in collaboration with BBC Studios’ Hey Duggee.
Our Response
License to PR commissioned a news survey that revealed the bedtime struggles faced by UK parents and engaged a child sleep expert to share her top tips and tricks for parents in a press release.
Leveraging the seasonal hook of the clocks going back in autumn, this news story was seeded to relevant media and generated multiple national news stories that promoted the Hey Duggee Sleepy Time toy.
