Is Your Company's Anniversary Worth Marketing?

Each new product launch, geographic expansion, merger, acquisition, rebrand, and milestone anniversary offers an opportunity to capitalize on a temporary window of time. 

If you have a milestone anniversary on the horizon, here are a few questions to consider in advance.

What is our timeline: 

• When should we begin discussing our next anniversary internally, with an agency, and externally? 
• Is it a one-time event or a year-long campaign?

What are our objectives: 

• Do we view this anniversary as an event, a new logo, or a strategic opportunity to shape how our industry, customers, employees, and community see our company? 
• Are we looking back or looking forward as our focus? 
• How much of our own time are we willing to commit to anniversary planning and execution throughout the year?

Who is our target audience: 

• Is our anniversary relevant to anyone outside of our company?
• Which internal and external audiences should we consider?

Where are our areas of opportunity? 

• Which assets do we want to create, and which existing assets should we update to reflect the anniversary?
• Are we the same company we were five, 10, 20, or more years ago? 
• How are our customers' needs different today? 
• How has our industry evolved?
