Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / brand communication
French term or phrase: respiration du mois
On a table of action points for expanding brand communication. Other points include "Your experience", "Promotional news", "Tip of the Day".

There are no clues as to what kind of communication might be included under this heading.

I was wondering about something like "Thought of the month".

Many thanks

This month's breather/break


Explanation:
I'm not sure what they're featuring under their "respiration," but it sounds like some kind of a break, "the pause that refreshes," etc. So, yes, a thought, but one that is being offered as a extra.

Monthly contemplation / observation


Explanation:
Maybe something more suggestive would sound better than a literal translation, which would probably not mean much in the context.
