Want Your Own In-House Influencer?

ALL businesses need a content creator on their team. Modern Digital Marketing strategy demands it. A trained content creator will allow you to access new markets, build a loyal following and craft a memorable and approachable online presence. It’s so much easier to make an impact through content creation than it is to make one through traditional SEO, blogging or outreach. We can help you train a current or new staff member in these essential skills, so why not take a look at our courses?

March 2024

8th - International Women’s Day

  • The theme of IWD 2024 is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality” – today consider the ways in which you can make digital spaces safer and more inclusive for women.
  • It’s sometimes tricky to understand in a Western world and in younger generations, but 259 million fewer women have access to the Internet than men, even though they account for nearly half the world’s population. In response to this, why not host a digital skills workshop aimed at women, within your business?
  • Or ask if there are any local women in tech who might like to be featured in an article on your website or in your newsletter?

10th - Mother’s Day

  • Mommaaaaaa, oooooooh.
  • Mother’s day isn’t just about afternoon teas and flowers, it’s about honouring the women who go the extra mile to bring us into this world and subsequently drag us up into a respectable state of living. 
  • So instead of focusing on the traditional, you could get your followers to submit photos of their ‘badass mothers’ – mums who really break the barriers and go the extra mile.
  • Or go a little bit silly and get followers to submit photos of mum’s retro barnet from yesteryear…
  • OR have a little bit of fun getting your followers to embarrass themselves with the caption ‘why, mum?’, sharing their questionable bowl cuts, shell-suits and chunky school shoes imposed on them by loving mothers.

20th - Official First Day of Spring

  • Although we can’t rely on the weather to verify the fact, it is considered the first day of spring on this date.
  • You could go for a ‘spring cleaning’ angle, and film a highly satisfying cleaning video just like the viral ones on TikTok, or share some gardening tips for those who want to get ahead with planning.
  • It’s also a good time to encourage your followers to get outdoors after a long winter cooped up inside – consider hosting a walk, foraging workshop, or online spring wreath workshop.

29th - Good Friday (Bank Hol)

  • You don’t have to be a fishmonger to make the most of marketing on Good Friday – it’s also a time where many are celebrating and getting ready for a well deserved bank holiday weekend after a winter that felt like it would never end.
  • Start a discussion with your followers about their weekend plans, get them to share their suggestions for the best local Sunday roast, and their best ‘what if it rains’ contingency activities, then compile all of the best suggestions into a guide that you can share on your blog or on social.

31st - Easter Sunday

  • Chocolate, Sunday roasts and hot cross buns. After a feast like that, it can be hard to face the pile of never ending Easter eggs too, so today share your best recipes for chocolatey leftovers.
  • You can even set up a virtual Easter Egg hunt on your website – get your developer to hide some sneaky clickable eggs around and about, that lead to special offers and prizes.

April 2024

1st - April Fools

  • It happens every year, but companies posting elaborate April Fools pranks on social media still seem to catch a few followers out! Just make sure your prank is just slightly unbelievable enough that people don’t get too upset.
  • You could launch a new fake product, announce that this whole time your company direct has *in fact* been three racoons in a trench coat OR show off an unusual new design choice for your branding. The possibilities are endless when it comes to April Fools mischief.

1st - Easter Monday Bank Holiday

  • The Easter Bank holiday *usually* marks the first sign of decent weather in the UK following winter, although it’s not all that reliable.
  • If the weather is forecast to be good, it’s a great opportunity to plan an outdoor event at your business, or launch a new spring themed product range to get people excited for longer days.
  • You could also try to encourage some ‘user generated content’ by asking your followers how they used your products over the Easter Weekend, encourage them to send you photos and be sure to ask if you can use the content in a gallery to promote next year’s products!

15th - World Art Day

  • Art is everywhere and it can be relevant to every type of business.
  • If you’re office based, why not jazz up your walls by hosting a gallery for local artists. You could film a live video where you tour the art and introduce the artists behind the creations. It’s a great way to reach out to your community.
  • If you sell products, why not host a competition where artists can submit work that will be featured on your packaging for a month? Compensate the winning artist and you could even get your social media followers to vote for the winner.

21st - UK National Tea Day

  • Tea isn’t just a drink in the UK, it’s a national past-time. Today is a great day to invent your own quirky, branded afternoon tea!
  • You could also send out a ‘cuppa and a cake’ to your customers as a thank you, and get them to tag you on social media when they receive it.

21st - London Marathon

  • If you’ve sponsored a runner, you could harness the power of technology and live-stream their POV on your website, or update a live map with their progress!
  • Galleries of the best costumes also do well this time of year.
  • It could also be a a great idea to host your own local mini-marathon, encouraging your team to get moving – ask your followers to sponsor the competitors for charity.

22nd - Earth Day

  • Earth day is all about our impact on the planet we live on. Today, you could host an environmental event such as a recycling drive, tree-planting day or eco-friendly market.
  • It’s a great opportunity to purchase some branded, re-usable merch such as coffee flasks and bamboo straws – gift them to your employees and followers and reduce your carbon impact whilst getting in a free bit of advertising!
