With the Summer come and gone, it’s time to create content with September social media holidays and theme ideas. Throw writer’s block out the window as I have compiled a daily list complete with fun and whacky social media themes for the month of September. These holidays could fall nicely into your content marketing strategies.
Warning: some of these holidays are whacky and bit bizarre, but that is what makes creating content so fun!
