Use your social media platforms to inspire your followers, with the following key dates…
Did you know – August is named after Augustus Caesar, founder and the first emperor of the Roman Empire, who was posthumously adopted by his maternal great-uncle Gaius Julius Caesar. Well now you do!
If there’s a month with the most variety of national holidays, then August is certainly up there! From Cycle to Work Day (3rd) to International Beer Day (4th) and Book Lovers’ Day (9th) to National Prosecco Day (13th), there’s sure to be something to celebrate this month on your socials!
With August the month of holiday’s and schools breaking up, there are plenty of opportunities to get into the holiday spirit with National Relaxation Day (15th), but don’t forget to stock up on the tasty essentials with White Wine Day (also 4th), National Burger Day (24th) and National Red Wine Day (28th).
Like every month, August gives us plenty of opportunities to have fun with our socials. So whatever day you wish to celebrate, have a great month and enjoy getting creative!
