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.

Social Media strategist for brands ready to SCALE | the informal marketeer 🧍🏽♀️| Top Marketer of 2024
Social media managers are becoming extinct. Soon, you’ll HAVE to hire: A social media copywriter A social media strategist A social media director A community manager A social media analyst An account manager A graphic designer A videographer A video editor Getting one person to do it all wont work for long. Which means your brand on social media could be at stake. It’s time to recognise what it takes to succeed on social media. Without adapting, your comapny risks falling behind. So… Either invest in a full team or prepare to fail. #socialmediateam

PSA for companies hiring a social media superhero📢: If your job description includes 'Social Media Manager + Content Strategist + SEO Guru + Graphic Designer + Videographer + Fortune Teller,' it's time to rethink the cape situation🦸♀️ Social media managers are skilled pros, but even they can’t juggle all the hats in the world. Social media success takes a team with specialists, not a unicorn with endless caffeine supplies. Let’s value expertise—by hiring the right mix of creative minds and strategist that can actually move the needle! #socialmediamanager #digitalmarketingspecialist #TeamsNotTitles

UI/UX Designer & Web Developer at ScaleX Media <> I design high-converting landing pages & handle automation with 80+ projects & 40+ clients, boosting digital presence with expert UI/UX & coding skills.
We are Hiring for Social Media Managers! Yeah, and then? (I am sorry, I am actually not hiring) But. Ever noticed how job descriptions for 'Social Media Manager' suddenly turn into a wish list for an entire marketing team? 🤔 Business owners often expect one person to be a jack-of-all-trades: SEO expert, content creator, copywriter, video editor, graphic designer... the list goes on! But here’s the reality: each of these roles requires unique skills, knowledge, and experience. Expecting one person to excel in every area isn’t realistic—and can lead to burnout. Let’s start recognizing the value of specialization. The right team, not just one overloaded superhero, is what makes a brand truly thrive. #MarketingReality #SpecializationMatters #TeamEffort #LearnFromLinkedIn

Quick PSA for anyone hiring or working with social media managers: we're NOT a one-person band playing graphic designer, video editor, and marketing guru all at once. 🎨🎥📈 Sure, we dabble in a bit of everything (shoutout to my multitaskers! 🙌), but social media management is its own beast. 🐉 It's all about crafting killer content strategies, engaging with the community, and staying on top of those ever-changing algorithms. 📲💡 So next time you're thinking of throwing a million hats at your social media manager, remember: we're awesome, but even superheroes need a team. 🦸♂️🦸♀️ #SocialMediaManager #NotAnOctopus #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #Hiring #Graphicdesigner #Team #Teamwork #Corporate

CEO @ Epic Marketing ◆ Marketing & Social Media Pro ◆ Creative Genius ◆ Credit Union Aficionado ◆ Professional Speaker
Social media job descriptions have majorly evolved since I started working on social media strategy and execution for clients some 15+ years ago. According to data recently released by Sprout Social, Inc., the main four titles are social media specialist (manages day to day posting), social media manager (manages planning and paid social), social media strategist (manages strategy, analytics, and partnerships), and social media director (manages the social team, objectives, and budget). I would add graphic designer, illustrator, videographer, animator, producer, sound editor, and copywriter. It’s a lot. What other social media job titles are there?

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

Social Media Manager | Community Manager | Content Creator | Copywriter | Founder of GymHub Sportswear | A huge fan of Gym and hiking
So, yesterday I came across this JD (screenshot attached) for a Social Media Manager job post from a brand which I won't mention. 🤡 My first thought after reading this JD was, are they looking for a Digital Marketing Manager, Community Manager, Graphic Designer and Social Media manager all in one? 🤔 Honestly speaking, these requirements for Social Media Manager are ridiculous. This company is literally using that saying of "kill 2 birds with one stone" which is impossible. 😱 What are your thoughts about this JD? #hiring #jobdescription #socialmediamarketing #digitalamarketing #communitymanager

Recruiter | Talent Acquisition Specialist | Expert in AI And Technology, Media, CPG, Retail, Food | Sourcing Strategist | People Operations | Obsessed about Finding and Hiring High-Performing Talent Open to New Roles!
Hey jobseekers, here's a list of opportunities and the creative space. While Im not directly recruiting for these positions, but I wanted to remind job seekers that opportunities are happening everywhere— Be open to them! ✨ Wondering how to stand out in a crowded job market? Consider creating a video resume! Write a 1 to 3-minute script using ChatGPT, rehearse it until you’ve nailed it, and then go the extra mile. If there’s a company you dream of working for, head to their campus and film your pitch in front of their sign, explaining why you’re the perfect fit. Don’t forget to showcase your personality—whether it’s a hobby like rock climbing (which I’d film as well) or something else that reflects who you are. Edit the footage, build a social media campaign around it, and post with hashtags tagging the company you're targeting. Be bold. Be adventurous. Be creative. Think outside the box!
