Three ways to treat a date

Not every date is a marketing opportunity. Each one is tagged so you know when to post, when to tread carefully, and when to stay quiet.

Post trigger

Dates that are great opportunities to post. Plan content, run campaigns, and engage your audience around these moments.

  • Fun holidays (National Pizza Day, Star Wars Day)
  • Commerce events (Black Friday, Prime Day)
  • Cultural moments (Oscars, Super Bowl)
  • Awareness days (Earth Day, Mental Health Day)

Sensitive

Dates that require careful, respectful messaging. Avoid commercial tie-ins and keep your tone appropriate.

  • Religious observances (Ramadan, Yom Kippur)
  • Remembrance days (Veterans Day, Anzac Day)
  • Solemn awareness days (Holocaust Remembrance Day)

No post

Dates when brands should stay silent or share only respectful acknowledgment. Pause scheduled content.

  • National days of mourning
  • Major memorial dates
  • Moments of national tragedy remembrance
