New year, new content strategy! Get ahead of the game in 2023 with our UK social media content calendar. We put this resource together to help you plan ahead for the many world events and social media holidays that could help boost your business’s social presence this year. We’ve included a wide mix here, from official calendar dates to fun social media hashtag days.
We’d recommend picking out a few each month that works for your industry and coming up with some social content that is relevant to both the event and your business. If you’re stuck for ideas, try looking through the hashtags to see what people have done in previous years.
We have also created a downloadable excel social media calendar spreadsheet featuring all the events you need to know, their accompanying hashtags, and space for you to write your social ideas.
