This is our final Digital PR Roundup for 2021, so expect to see some pretty special campaigns on the list to round off the year!

Are your sleeping habits normal? Well, supplement firm Healthspan surveyed 2,000 Brits about their sleeping habits and the results were quite alarming...
The average UK adult has their alarm set for 6:45 am, but doesn’t get out of bed until 7:12 am! And while women take 26 minutes to ‘feel awake’, it takes men just a bit longer at 36 minutes. On top of that, one in 5 adults gets to work still feeling sleepy.
Digital PR mastermind, Heinz, has done it again with a Christmas-themed campaign to solve the turkey shortage.

Curry’s PC World has revealed the 5 things you should NEVER say on a dating app.
They surveyed the masses on the dos and don’ts, and revealed that one-in-5 says dating apps have made their love lives ‘more dysfunctional’. 93% say finance chat is a huge no-no, 91% said sexual preferences should never be discussed on apps, and 89% prefer to keep the chat apolitical.
What’s even more eye-opening is 18% confessed to ‘micro-cheating' – chatting to other people in case the best connection doesn’t work out – and 12% admit to catfishing!
Not a fan of the Bounty bar? If not, Mars has started a Bounty Return Scheme to save Bounty bars from landfills. A survey revealed 52% of us leave Bounty bars until last in Celebrations boxes, with 32% binning them altogether.
