As a marketer, I look forward to holidays. They're an opportunity to be clever, creative, and think outside the brand kits. But Memorial Day is different.
There are no words to convey the meaning. No aesthetic ways to represent the heaviness of what today represents. No tactful way to acknowledge strangers giving their lives for our freedoms. Yet, the alternative of not posting is simply not an option. They deserve our recognition and our gratitude, even if it will never be enough.
Instead of worrying about metrics or grids, my only focus today is reminding people there is nothing 'happy' about Memorial Day. It is a day for reflection. For gratitude. For doing some serious soul searching on what we can do in our daily lives to make their deaths not be in vain.
If only for today, let us be united. ๐ค
