The community manager is a client facing role.  The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate they can manage the social media client relationship and help educate the client to better the social media space and the opportunities it provides their brand.  The community manager will be expected to get involved in content creation and client approval processes, carry out basic account management and liaise with creative teams to ensure the integration of social media and traditional media across a co-ordinated brand campaign.

The community manager is a creative role.  The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability to create short term interventions and build long-term campaigns, and work with the client and with creative teams to plan and sustain brand conversations over time.  The community manager will be able to participate directly within the community conversation by posting content in a timely and appropriate manner.

get yourself a tweet towel c/o we are what we do

Tweet towel

Just received this rather splendid Tweet Towel from our friends at we are what we do. They are an organisation that aims to bring about social change through encouraging lots of people to do lots of good little things. The Tweet Towel is a creation intended to raise money for their campaign to get generations talking. You can get your own Tweet Towel at their shop here.

My one is very nice.

Here's what they say about them:

'You can create your own, putting your own miniature message on a teatowel… preserve your tweets for eternity or send a message to your favourite mug drier. All profits go to our charitable foundation, funding our digital inclusion projects to get generations talking more, sharing more time together. It was the desire to get generations talking more that sparked the mash-up between traditional crafts and digital communication.'
