Social Media Manager | A Career Overview

Who is a Social Media Manager?

   A social media manager is similar to a community manager in many aspects. They are the person in charge of your social media strategy, from posting schedules to performance reporting. They are frequently in charge of managing a team and assuring the quality of all postings in accordance with the company's social media policy.

They have a unique combination of "big picture, tiny picture" skills, such as managing your online community, increasing engagement and clicks, and handling the social aspects of marketing initiatives.

A social media marketing manager's position is critical to a company's reputation, development, and brand image. They are not simply keeping their eyes and ears open to consumer dialogues in your online community.
