150 UK Social Media Days: 2023
Taking part in National and International social media awareness days allows you or your brand to be a part of a trending, wider conversation simply by using the relevant hashtag or mentioning the appropriate keywords.
This doesn’t necessary mean joining in with all 150 awareness days on this list, instead try to pick those that are the most relevant to your brand, industry and most importantly, your target audience.
If you would like any help with your social media, please get in touch with us here at Nutshell Creative, we have services that include everything from social media consultancy to paid advertising, from social strategy to tone of voice – but let’s take a step back, how about we just start with a simple hello; hello@nutshellcreative.co.uk
