Why New Year is the most powerful marketing moment of the year

Why December and January are the perfect months to refresh your message and reposition your brand.

18 February 2026 -

When others are still in startup mode, this is your moment to be visible.

Happy New Year! 🎆
We can still say it, right?!

But… honestly: as a marketer, it’s also one of the strongest marketing moments of the year.

In my latest blog on MarketingTribune, I explain why the turn of the year is much more than just a friendly greeting.

It’s a moment when people:

✅ reflect
✅ look ahead
✅ make new choices
✅ are open to change

And that is exactly where the power lies.

What I see year after year: December and January are the perfect months for seasonal updates and repositioning. Simply because your audience’s mindset is in “reset mode.”

It’s the ideal time to:

  • refresh your message
  • position your offer more sharply
  • re-engage your audience (without pushing)
  • and become strategically visible while others are still in “startup mode”

In short: Happy New Year isn’t just a wish.
It’s a chance to time your marketing smartly.

So yes: take action now and sharpen all your campaigns!
