Speaking at content marketing and social media strategy conferences, I meet many individuals in social media specialist roles handling social and content marketing duties for their companies as one-person departments.
What amazes me is that these are not just people from smaller companies. Even many big brands place all the responsibility for their social and content marketing on a single social media specialist. One study reported, in fact, that 42% of individuals with full-time social media strategy and implementation responsibilities are flying solo.
When you ask a solo social media specialist about the job's issues, they report a variety of challenges, including:
- Trying to manage strategy and tactics
- Being pulled between competing priorities
- Creating social campaigns that produce business results
- Lack of time
- Producing enough content
- Lack of budget
For a solo social media specialist to work effectively, it’s important to know ways to save time, increase focus, improve performance, boost efficiency, and create more productive content.
