Community managers are the most powerful group on the internet, they manage the largest social accounts –but ironically are hidden behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
It’s that time of year again, to send a kind note to the Community Managers who have helped your company, or you as a customer using social media channels. \u00a0Like System Admin day, or Administrative Professionals day, we take one day a year to thank and appreciate those who are helping us connect to customers in a sometimes thankless job.<\/p>\n
While no gifts are required, the purpose is to give a genuine thank to the never ending, often thankless job of supporting customers and balancing internal stakeholders, a tough balance when the whole world is watching. \u00a0Whether you’re a community manager at \u00a0a tiny startup in India, or the head of community at Adobe (hola Rachel Lux) or community manager at an agency like Edelman representing your clients, now’s your time to shine.<\/p>\n
Or, if you’re a community manager, write about why you are doing this role and what drives you to get up every morning to do your job.<\/p>\n
Over the years, this even has become a global phenomenon, as people organize in person events, workshops, conferences, cocktails, dinners and publish digital artifacts. \u00a0I’ll cross link to all who are planning an event (real world or online) in the hopes or coordinating as a central place.<\/p>\n
So please, leave a comment about your upcoming event<\/p>\n
