Cinco de Mayo questions
When should I start work for Cinco de Mayo?+
Send the pitch by Mid Mar. Start two to three weeks before that to pull the data, write it up and publish the page the link points at. The moment itself lands on 5 May (fixed), by which point the work is already out.
Which service leads Cinco de Mayo?+
Content That Turns Attention Into Customers leads it. Produces the posts and short-form cuts that carry the moment on your own channels while the pitch is out. The rest of the services on this page handle the follow-through once attention arrives.
Is Cinco de Mayo worth it for my business?+
