Though today the holiday is mostly celebrated tongue-in-cheek, Groundhog Day has its origins in pre-Christian festivals celebrated throughout Europe.
The story goes that if the groundhog sees its shadow, you’re in for six more weeks of winter. If it doesn't, expect an early spring.
The most famous Groundhog Day ceremony occurs in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil is the center of attention.
Your ace marketing team can help you create themed events, social media campaigns, and promotions as a way to engage your audience.
Internally, you can organize raffles, predicting whether old Phil will see his shadow or not. Offer gift cards to the winning guessers, or pledge a donation to the winning side’s favorite charity.
