Home: About

Social Media

The most important job of them all is creating content for social media. Posts I create reach audiences of over 550,000 people on Twitter and Facebook.

Research

My research duties include monitoring audience engagement, finding future contributors, and coming up with new marketing ideas.

Editing

My editing duties were to make sure every social media post had correct grammar and spelling. I also had to fact check everything three times from different sources to ensure quality. Sometimes my superiors would have me watch videos they created and prompt me to give them feedback on their editing.
