Social media managers are social media managers. They are not: -video editors -graphic designers -on-screen talent -PR professionals -Events managers -Community managers -etc. Can we *do* a lot of those things? Sure. Do we work alongside those roles (daily)? Absolutely. But if you're going to REQUIRE all those skills under one umbrella, don't title it a social media manager and PAY THEM proportionately to the multiple full-time jobs you are 'requiring.' End rant.

Looking forward to connecting with the following people: Social Media Marketers Creative Executives Creative Managers Motion Graphic Designers 3D Animators Video Editors Creative Directors Content Strategist Content Marketers Digital Brand Managers Project Coordinator . . . #hiring #socialmediamarketers #creativeexecutives #creativemanagers #videoeditors #creativedirectors #contentstrategist #contentmarketers #digitalmarketers #digitalbrandmanager #projectcoordinators

I AM TIRED OF SAYING THIS, BUT… Social media is NOT just about posting pretty pictures anymore. It’s your key to growing your brand, spreading awareness, tapping into new markets, building communities, and—let’s be real—making money. 💸 If you’re looking for a strategist, creative director, graphic designer, AND trendsetter all rolled into one – you’re hiring more than just a “social media manager.” Building stories, staying ahead of trends, and shaping a brand’s identity takes time, strategy, and creativity. If your budget’s more “backpack” than blockbuster, don’t expect “Barbie movie” results. So, either rethink your social media strategy, or keep sleeping on it.  You choose. PS: Here’s a pretty picture of me, just in case you thought that’s all I do as a social girlie. 😜 #SocialMedia #BrandBuilding #KnowYourWorth

As someone who does content creation as a Full time gig job descriptions like the one below are appalling. The title of this Job is “Content Creator”. But if you read the description you’ll find that not only are you asking someone to drive your entire social media content creation in the confined space of your retail store you’re ALSO asking them to be a retail store manager, social media manager, videographer, and editor??? At this point those roles are expected on SMM job descriptions. But to then tell this person they’re also a floor retail sales manager from 9-5 M-S is outrageous. And the best part? 45-50k a year based on experience…. Essentially a Content Creator, a Multi Platform Social media manager and a retail store manager/sales associate for the same average salary of a entry level graphic design position. Companies have to stop thinking social media managers and content creators are easy jobs that you can do In your spare time and breaks. We gotta do better.

🎯 Are you hiring a social media manager or a one-person marketing department? When you expect one hire to handle social media, photography, videography, graphic design, ad buying, web design, and customer support, you’re not looking for a social media manager. You’re looking for a “Senior Director of Other Duties as Assigned.” 🙄 📌 Here’s the reality: Each of these tasks requires a distinct skill set and focus. Expecting one person to excel at all is not only unrealistic but also unfair. 💡 Quality over quantity: The best results come from specialised roles where professionals can focus on their strengths. What's more impactful—a jack-of-all-trades or a master of one? 🔄 Let’s change the narrative: Value specialised talent. It’s time to recognise the depth of expertise needed for each role. 👉 How are you ensuring your team members are set up for success? #SocialMediaManager #Marketing #DigitalMarketing #VideoMarketing #ContentCreation #SpecialisedTalent #TeamSuccess #MarketingStrategy #videography #animation

Being a Social Media Manager means wearing many hats.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 I've noticed many job postings for social media managers lately, and there's clearly a major misunderstanding about this role. Here's a glimpse of some job descriptions I've come across: 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 (𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨) -Manage all social media platforms - Ad campaigns (understandable) -Handle PPC (seriously?) -Be a graphic designer (🙄) -A video editor (😶) -Be an animator (🤔) -Act as an actor or video director, or teach acting to others (😎) -Have sales pitch communication skills (🤐) -Perform SEO tasks -Write technical content -Be available 24/7 and 365 days to respond to the community (we're not robots 😏) And the funniest one: -Be a web developer too (is this a joke?) And the offered salary is 35K. Wow! 🤣 Did I miss anything?

I've noticed many job listings for dual roles like "Content Creator/Social Media manager" Content creation involves various skills like videography, photography, editing, Visual and lighting, directing, mood board creation, and more. Content creators often specialize in one area. On the other hand Social media managers may know content creation but may not excel in creating high quality commercial photo and videos. Dear hiring teams, instead of 'Social Media Manager/Content Creator,' be specific: Content Creator - Photographer & Videographer, recognizing that both content creation and Social media Management is a major role. #contentcreation #socialmedia #socialemediamarketing #photography #videography #hiring #recruitment

The life of a social media manager means that one minute you're a graphic designer, the next you're a copywriter, analyst, customer service rep, and maybe even a part-time therapist. If only we got paid for each hat we wear. 😂🎩👒🧢 Here's to all the multitasking maestros out there juggling more roles than an actor in a one-man show.   #SocialMediaSuperstars #JackOfAllTrades #MasterOfAll
