A social media manager is responsible for monitoring and posting to all of a company's social media outlets as well as interacting with and growing the firm's audience.
Social media managers are all about engagement, which means that their primary focus is to create social posts that will resonate with audiences across multiple platforms. Day-to-day, this involves staying on top of media trends and making sure that marketing messages are consistent across all channels. Another key part of the role is building a community around a brand.
