Who is an SMM specialist?

An SMM manager has a primary focus, namely – creating and maintaining the company’s or brand’s accounts on popular social networks and promoting them. Typically, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter are used. The specialist develops a promotion strategy and conducts a competitive analysis.

They also communicate with the target audience, conduct advertising and marketing research. Sometimes their duties even include direct sales of goods or services through corporate accounts. The SMM profession involves complete management and coordination of the promotion process of the company and its products on social media. What does the service include?

• Creating and designing social media pages.
  The SMM specialist selects the most relevant platforms and registers the official accounts of the company or brand (specific product) on them. At this stage, the specialist chooses the optimal platforms for promotion and conducts a target audience analysis. Next, they study the competitive environment and other factors. 
  After selecting the platforms and creating the pages, the specialist begins preparing the promotion strategy. Concurrently, they work on the concept of groups and communities. Usually, either independently or with the help of a designer, they design the social media pages: cover, avatar, post designs, etc.
• Posting publications on social media
  Promotion on social media always includes creating and publishing content. For this, a content plan is formed, which specifies the topics and brief summaries of upcoming posts. The SMM specialist can prepare content independently or delegate these tasks to other specialists, such as copywriters or content managers. The topics of the posts are regulated by the content plan.
  Most often, they contain news about the company, information about new products, promotions and discounts, various informational or entertaining content. At the same time, the specialist not only writes texts but also creates and edits images, photos, and videos. The SMM manager must be able to work with graphic editors.
• Conducting SMM activities
  Another important duty of an SMM manager is the preparation and execution of various SMM events. For example, these include launching viral campaigns, organizing promotions, contests, giveaways, and other activities to engage the audience. 

An additional service provided by an SMM specialist is brand analytics.
