Things to think about
We've put together some topical social media events to help you with content creation this month:
- Start of the 6 Nations Rugby Championship - 5th February: Showcase your national pride, friendly rivalry between your branches and matchday excitement. You could share themed posts, like score predictions, polls on who may win or which nation you're backing. Use Stories or Reels for live reactions, fun memes, or behind-the-scenes content.
- National Pizza Day - 9th February: Celebrate with fun, food focused content. Share polls or posts asking followers to choose their favourite toppings, pineapple debate included. Run a pizza-themed giveaway, discount, or limited-time offer for the day. Post behind-the-scenes content, team pizza orders, or even a “slice of the day” feature.
- International Day of Women and Girls in Science - 11th February: If you're a science business, share stories highlighting women in science within your business, industry, or wider community. Post facts, achievements, or quotes from influential women scientists to raise awareness.
- Valentine's Day - 14th February: Focus on connection, appreciation, and feel-good content that fits your brand. Share posts celebrating love in all forms, from partners and friendships to self-love and community. Run themed giveaways, limited-time offers, or Valentine’s discounts.
- Random Acts of Kindness Day - 17th February: Focus on positivity, generosity, and community. Share simple kindness ideas your audience can take part in, such as checking in on a friend or leaving a kind note. Highlight any acts of kindness your team is doing and encourage followers to share their own using a branded hashtag.
- National Love Your Pet Day - 20th February: Celebrate by sharing fun and heart warming pet content. Post photos of team members’ pets or office animals and invite followers to share pictures of their own pets using a branded hashtag.
