Coffee Marketing with Jenn Chen

Welcome to my coffee marketing newsletter. Sometimes personal, always applicable. Scroll down to learn more about what I’ve been up to & links to the most important social media news.

I’m sure this is more for those using Twitter ads. However, you can see upcoming events in nearly every category, filtered by date & country PLUS the audience size. Their recurring trends tab is helpful for those who like to jump in on hashtags, like #WellnessWednesday.
