More than just donuts.
Last week kicked off with Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in California (#WWDC14). By Friday, the trending topics had moved on to sugar-high inducing National Donut Day (#nationaldonutday) and the 70th anniversary of D-Day (#dday70). Catch all those hashtags? And we haven’t even hit the marketing world yet!
In case you were too busy plotting how you’ll be the first to get Apple’s new watch this fall, here are the marketing tweets you missed.
