So after much anticipation the Royal Baby is finally here, with everyone around the world going potty for the news!Seeing as this is once again another occasion to celebrate all things British, I thought I would take a look at how British brands celebrated the special occasion on social media and in their marketing campaigns.
They had months to prepare for the big occasion, so there should be no excuses for quality. Which celebration do you think takes the throne?
