This is your chance to tell people you get paid to be on Instagram. And Facebook. And whatever social channels our clients are on. As a Social Media Strategist, you won't just create social media plans; you'll also implement them through content creation and monitoring. That means you're someone who is as comfortable with big ideas as with details.
