March Content Ideas For Your Blog And LinkedIn

Looking at March’s calendar and wondering what to write about? Pour yourself something nice and let’s plan your content strategy for the month ahead.

March is packed with opportunities for engaging content – from major cultural events to quirky awareness days. The key is planning ahead so you can adapt your content for different platforms without the last-minute panic.

Good content planning means you can turn one solid idea into:

• A valuable blog post
• Engaging LinkedIn content
• Multiple social media posts
• Newsletter material worth reading

Before you get started, it’s worth taking a look at my approach to ‘Days Of…’ content – I’m not a huge fan of thinking literally because too many people are doing it, so expect the unexpected when it comes to my content idea suggestions.

Did you see February’s content ideas? Have a read, because honestly, it’s not all about Valentine’s Day!

The Big March Events

Let’s tackle the major events first – these need careful handling to create valuable content without being opportunistic.

International Women’s Day (March 8th)

Rather than just posting congratulatory messages, I wanted to focus on practical ways businesses can support and promote gender equality. This isn’t about jumping on a hashtag – it’s about creating meaningful discussion around real business issues.

We’ve all seen those cringe-worthy posts trying to force cultural events into business content. But done right, these events can spark genuine conversations and insights about your business – without looking like you’re just jumping on a trending hashtag. Here’s how.

British Science Week (March 7th-16th)

Instead of getting caught up in complex scientific concepts, I thought about how businesses use data and testing in their daily operations. Every business does some form of experimentation, whether they call it that or not.

Industry Events

March brings some major events that might seem miles away from your business at first glance. (Dogs and movies? Really?) But instead of just watching from the side-lines, let’s find the genuine business angles that won’t make your followers cringe. These events are perfect for talking about standing out in your field, celebrating your team, and showcasing what makes your business tick – without a single “and the award goes to…” cliché in sight.

Awareness Days

March is stuffed with awareness days like a bargain bin at the pound shop. But before you roll your eyes at another excuse to hashtag your business posts, some of these actually offer solid opportunities for valuable content. Let’s look at the ones worth your time and how to tackle them without sounding like you’ve just copied and pasted from everyone else’s social media.

Seasonal Dates

British Summer Time Begins (March 29th)

Beyond the obvious “spring forward” posts, think about business adaptation and change management.

Fun Days To Keep It Light

Not everything needs to be a serious business lesson wrapped in corporate jargon. March gives us some perfect opportunities to show the human side of your business without resorting to those awful “thought leadership” posts. From pancake fails to gaming references, these days let you have a bit of fun with your content – just try not to get carried away with the Mario puns.
