Community Management

What is online community management?

What is online community management? It’s the process of growing, building and guiding an online community, whether that is b2c social media or b2b, social network management or on an owned platform. Effective community management can bring huge brand benefits:

  • Enhance product and brand loyalty
  • Provide 24/7 focus groups
  • Foster a strong connection between your brand and your consumer
  • Support specific social media campaigns and wider marketing campaigns
  • Increase the traffic to your community areas and to the rest of your website
  • Help to create a competitive differentiator

 

What does an online community manager do?

The scope of the role is very broad, but community management involves a combination of guidance and moderation, engagement, content creation, listening and reporting, and analysis and strategic input. Phew. Exactly what mix of these skills is needed for your project, and whether our community managers work solo or as part of a team, varies from project to project.
