February #AwarenessDays aren’t just Valentines & Leap year
So this year you think you’ve got February mastered. Not only do you have the Valentines day that gets commercially overused every year, but this year you get to add the leap year into your marketing repertoire. Personally I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss some of the other #AwarenessDays that are available this month, as there’s a few pretty spectacular ones coming up.
I have no idea how I – or anyone – can use #CowMilkedWhileFlyingInAnAirplaneDay
