'Tis the Season
of Connection

Feeds are about to shift from Halloween costumes and pumpkin-picking vlogs to all things holiday! Think hosting tips, festive recipes, tablescapes, gift guides, and more. When it comes to the holidays, it’s all about connection and creating moments that bring people together… which is exactly what creators know a thing or two about.

Holiday celebrations have gone far beyond the traditional calendar dates. For months, creators have been gearing up for the festive season. From decorating and gift shopping to hosting family and community events, there are a number of ways to seamlessly integrate branded moments into the season. The key is to make sure content feels personal and authentic! Below are a few ways, DBA talent have done just that:
