the tea has been spilt 🤭💜 here are THREE of my controversial social media manager takes. but let's dive into them a little deeper: → there are lots of pros and cons to running social accounts for a small brand, you might have a bit more freedom (see ya, legal 👋) for example but doing EVERYTHING by yourself? you're braver than the troops! → we already have links in IG stories + bio, plus paid ads, we don't need more! as a marketer, it might make life slightly easier but as a consumer, it would SUCK. → memes require knowing so much lore, internet culture and industry-knowledge to be *genuinely* funny in that niche, it's not for everyone and shouldn't be required in job roles. what are YOUR controversial social media takes? spill the tea in the comments! 💬

things a social media manager *never* wants to hear: PART SEVEN 🥹 IMPORTANT NOTE: most people don't say these things with negative intent. it usually comes from a lack of understanding because they've never had the time to look into it properly. that's why they've hired YOU. and we're more often than not, we’re more than "just" a social media manager. we're educators, we're listeners, we’re strategists - we’re EMPOWERING. so while these comments are (so) annoying sometimes, it gives us a great opportunity to educate, really show off our expertise and help other people become more confident in the power of social media. if they don’t get it after listening to you, they probably never will and that’s okay 🫶 what's ONE thing that instantly makes you cry as a social media manager or marketer? i'd love to read them in the comments!
