Twitter Publishes 2021 Marketing Calendar to Highlight Key Events for Your Campaigns

Every year, Twitter publishes a downloadable events calendar to assist marketers in planning for all the key dates in the months ahead.  But last year, with so many events being canceled due to COVID-19, the calendar itself ended up being kind of useless.

So this year, with disruption still lingering in the air, Twitter has opted to publish a live listing on its Twitter Marketing website, which includes all the key dates, month-by-month, on a simple template. It's not as pretty as the usual calendar format, but it does the job, and it'll help you keep track of all the key events and dates you need to know in order t...
