W.W.L.D. (What Would Listeners Do)
“Creating” a contest or an event or a promotion is an exercise in problem solving. Facebook is a great facilitator of research.

2020 is going to be The Summer Of Outdoors. The summer when people are going to find every excuse imaginable to be in their gardens or pools or biking or hiking or walking their dogs or grilling in their driveways. So, nice, concise, sterile breaks aren’t going to reflect that.
