Social Media Specialist: who he is and what he does
The Social Media Specialist is one of the new web professions most in demand on the job market since the exponential growth of social networks such as Facebook, Linkedin, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter, and consequently the need for companies to plan and monitor their social media strategy and social marketing.
The Social Media Specialist is therefore at the same time
- a social media strategist capable of planning the presence on the various social networks, monitoring the company’s web reputation, and interpreting the factors that influence it positively or negatively
- a social media marketer/social media specialist capable of producing content, dialoguing with the social media audience, interacting, moderating, and managing possible crisis situations in order to build and strengthen the community of users who interact with the company online.
What skills must you have?
Unlike the Social Media Manager (see the Social Media Manager course), the Social Media Specialist not only operates on the company’s social channels, but also acts outside of them to detect and listen to the reference community. In fact, the Social Media Specialist must know how to intercept online users in those places where the company’s web reputation is decided, monitor them and possibly intervene, often operating as a user and not as an official representative of the company he works for. The Social Media Specialist therefore works on
- Social Networks inside and outside the company
- Facebook and Linkedin groups
- External blog
- Online Communities
- Forums and Chats
SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIALIST
Works on the company’s social channels and is in charge of Community Management and defending the Brand’s Web Reputation
SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER
Studies and builds the social communication strategy, plans the editorial calendar and coordinates the operational team for its implementation.
