OK, let’s leap over that initial hurdle to gratitude and just ask the question: What does a community manager do anyway? The answer is, a lot more than you might think. In addition to the traditional post, monitor, engage model of old, Deloitte Digital community managers develop creative campaigns to achieve strategic goals, manage ad budgets, build and grow advocate and influencer relationships, and provide top-notch customer service to clients. It’s no small scope.
As a community manager, that can make your day, well, a little frazzled at times—to get a glimpse, check out A Day in the Life of a Community Manager from Laura Anderson, senior community manager at Deloitte Digital. Feeling more gratitude now?
