Summer isn’t just a season—it’s a mindset. As the days get longer and sunnier, audiences across all industries shift how they interact with social media. Whether it’s seeking inspiration, sharing memories, or finding deals, your audience is online and active. For brands in pet products, higher education, CPG, consumer tech, and non-profits, this is a golden opportunity to build authentic engagement and drive real results.
At Zozimus, we believe in making magic where data meets imagination. So let’s explore how your brand can harness the rhythm of summer to craft social campaigns that resonate, convert, and inspire.
Pet Products: Tap into Lifestyle + Emotion
Summer means outdoor adventures, travel, and pet-parent bonding. For pet brands, this season is rich with UGC potential and emotionally resonant storytelling.
Strategies That Work:
Launch a “#PawsInTheSun” photo contest to encourage user-generated content and showcase community love.
Share safety tips for pets during heatwaves, road trips, or fireworks (high-value + highly shareable).
Partner with pet influencers for summer haul videos or picnic-day reels.
Why It Works: Pet owners are deeply invested in the well-being and happiness of their animals. Content that’s both practical and heartwarming earns engagement and brand trust.
Higher Education: Capture the Pre-Fall Momentum
While students may be off-campus, summer is a key season for admissions, alumni engagement, and orientation buzz.
Strategies That Work:
Run “Day in the Life” story takeovers from current students in summer internships or study-abroad programs.
Tease fall semester offerings with Reels focused on new programs, campus upgrades, or student testimonials.
Spotlight alumni success stories to appeal to prospective students and donors alike.
Why It Works: Social becomes a discovery channel in the summer. Prospective students and parents are researching—and relatable, authentic content builds credibility.
Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG): Go Bold, Bright, and Snackable
Summer is peak season for grab-and-go products, seasonal packaging, and lifestyle integration. Whether you’re in beverages, snacks, or skincare, now’s the time to shine.
Strategies That Work:
Use vibrant summer visuals and short-form video to showcase products in context (think beach bags, BBQs, or road trips).
Activate limited-time flavors with countdowns, polls, and influencer unboxings.
Collaborate with creators for recipe hacks, summer essentials kits, or nostalgic seasonal promos.
Why It Works: CPG thrives on visual appeal and contextual relevance. Summer provides an emotional and sensory backdrop that turns scrolls into sales.
Consumer Tech: Embrace Travel + Outdoor Utility
From wireless earbuds to portable chargers, summer is a proving ground for tech products built for mobility, convenience, and fun.
Strategies That Work:
Promote “tech for travel” or “summer-proof your setup” campaign themes using short-form video.
Feature lifestyle content highlighting product durability, portability, and convenience in outdoor settings.
Encourage UGC with hashtags like #SummerWith[YourProduct] and offer incentives for the best submissions.
Why It Works: People want to simplify and elevate their summer experiences. If your product makes those moments easier, you’ve got the perfect story to tell.
Non-Profits: Connect Purpose with Participation
Summer is a season of generosity, community, and reflection—making it ideal for mission-driven organizations to connect emotionally and mobilize action.
Strategies That Work:
Leverage storytelling to highlight the impact of recent donations or volunteer efforts, ideally with visual content.
Tie campaigns to national awareness days or local summer events (e.g., Pride Month, Juneteenth, Back-to-School Drives).
Create shareable reels that highlight a single stat, face, or story—snackable but powerful.
Why It Works: Emotional storytelling thrives in warmer months when audiences are relaxed, social, and seeking inspiration.
