Dear managers: give your junior staff more opportunities to present. As leaders, it’s our responsibility to help our junior team members grow and give them opportunities to become future leaders. While it seems like a small thing, presenting to clients is a big part of agency life and is important to start early in your career. The same goes for the corporate side. If junior team members never get a chance to present their work in front of a Director, VP or CMO, it increases the chances that they won’t feel seen. Getting more practice with presenting: → develops confidence  → provides experience  → sharpens skills  → builds trust Give them a chance to make their mark. They’re ready to go in.

Social media managers wearing all of the hats. But why are they so often expected to do so many jobs? In football, quarterbacks aren’t asked to be wide receivers, tight ends, punters, defensive ends, water distribution engineers, and linebackers. They’re part of a team and focus on what they do best, where they can focus and bring the most value to the team. Social media managers are (or should be) part of a team and should be able to focus on what they do best vs asked to play every role and being spread too thin.
