When we think of favorite holidays, naturally, a few of the big ones come to mind. But sometimes, it’s fun to honor those smaller, lesser known dates on the calendar, like National Donut Day (June 4), National Selfie Day (June 21) and Take Your Dog to Work Day (June 25), to name just a few. Of course, at Aliya Hammond Consulting, we are looking forward to World Social Media Day, which happens to fall every year on June 30th. And we want YOU to celebrate with us this year! Here are some fun facts and social media suggestions to get you in the holiday spirit!
