• Optimise content for platform and intended audience
• Continuous monitoring of social media communities for the benefit of our clients
• Timely management of all interactions with social accounts
• Stay current with social media trends and tools
• Help to refine and define our social media marketing service offering—this could include exploring new ways to improve our high-level service, evaluating social media reports, suggesting strategic improvements, or researching emerging platforms such as TikTok
• Develop a deep understanding of our clients, their products or services, and their audiences to provide the high level of service we pride ourselves on
• Produce and publish monthly social media content and campaigns via Sprout Social, our social media management tool
• Nurture and develop audiences by engaging in conversations and responding to comments and messages

The majority of the content will be published on social media but could also focus on different digital channels such as:

• Email marketing
• Digital ads (Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
• Website landing pages
• Website blogs
• Product descriptions
• Online white papers/guides
