My 1st Years is a UK-based children’s toy and clothing ecommerce retailer, known for its personalised products.
THE CHALLENGE
My 1st Years required digital PR to boost its ongoing SEO strategy.
The website lacked high-quality backlinks, which were needed to support its visibility in search engines within a crowded ecommerce market.
OUR APPROACH
As all of My 1st Years’ products can be personalised, it holds a wealth of data on names and as a result, its team are experts on baby naming.
We worked with the client to analyse its data, giving us insight into the popularity of baby names and the ability to spot emerging trends.
We analysed this data with the help of the My 1st Years team, delving into their considerable insight on baby naming trends and understanding their sources.
Combining this expertise and data, we predicted some of the baby names which were set to be big in 2026.
THE RESULTS
Our baby names for 2026 campaign achieved 23 pieces of top-tier media coverage, including 11 pieces which linked back to the client’s website.
Coverage was included from media including The Sun, LADBible, and top-tier parenting website MadeForMums.
“We loved working with R&Co Communications, they are a great team who delivered some amazing results for our lovely brand. Really great ideas and excellent communication – highly recommend.”
