How to create a brand anniversary campaign that stands out
A simple “Happy Anniversary to Us” post won’t cut it. Here’s how to turn your anniversary into an event people actually care about and one that lasts well beyond the celebration. Here’s how to make yours count.:

Share behind-the-scenes moments and reflections from leadership.
Use a mix of storytelling formats—video, blog posts, and social media snippets.
