Brands obviously love their followers, but these days it’s beginning to feel like they love each other even more. What was a noticeably phenomenon during the Super Bowl, has only intensified this Valentine’s Day. Have you felt the love?
Here’s a few brands gettin’ it on today. Get a chat room, guys:
