The Press Cheat Sheet: The Moments PR & Marketing Pros Can't Miss
Coverage planning shouldn’t feel like guesswork—but too often, it does.
Every year, the same cultural and industry moments drive outsized visibility across Fashion, Lifestyle and Beauty (FLB). Fashion weeks, awards seasons, major sporting events and red carpets consistently dominate headlines and social feeds. What’s less obvious is how much attention each moment actually generates—and how that visibility compares across the year.
Without a clear, data-backed view of coverage at a yearly level, press and marketing teams are often forced to make decisions without perspective. Priorities compete, calendars fill quickly and it becomes difficult to assess where attention is actually concentrating—or which moments deserve deeper focus.
The Press Cheat Sheet was created to bring clarity to that challenge. This visual infographic lays out the key dates and periods that shape coverage throughout the year, pairing major moments with Media Impact Value® (MIV®) to show where visibility is being generated and how attention distributes across the calendar.
