Digital Community Builder
Today, if your business doesn’t have at least some profile in the social media sphere, it may as well not exist. It’s that social voice that informs customers, pushes the corporate narrative and helps grow the community and spread word of mouth recommendations that are priceless. Getting these communities up and running, and making them grow and perform, is the task of the digital community builder.
In smaller niches, it’s possible to get by without using Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, which can actually prove detrimental. In these cases, the digital community builder will be more focused on getting inside the niche or its related industries, identifying key influencers, and using that profile to guide the narrative, usually through private online forums and newsletters, but possibly also through the use of business social, news aggregators and discussion forums such as LinkedIn, reddit and Quora.
The skills required
Digital community builder jobs will always require a proven track record of professionally growing a corporate social profile to make a difference. Just being active on social media and building your own brand might help for some positions, but it will depend on the nature of your niche and whether you can show a methodical mindset and demonstrate accurate before and after figures.
However, you should understand all aspects of modern social media and private community building techniques. You’ll know how to grow an audience and how to monitor and enhance it, as well as keeping abreast of the techniques such as paid ads and other growth tools on the most appropriate platforms for a given business.
Digital Community Builder Jobs in Colchester
One of the UK's fastest growing towns, Colchester is located in Essex, approximately 60 miles from London and 30 miles from Stansted Airport. A popular choice for those who choose to commute to the capital for work, Colchester also offers a variety of Digital Community Builder opportunities within its local area.
Colchester is often called the oldest town in Britain, and its market is also one of the oldest in the country. It was granted its first royal charter in 1189 and by the end of the 14th century, it had become an important location for the manufacture of woollen cloth.
Further growth of the textile industry occurred in the late 16th century when Flemish weavers immigrated to the area, bringing with them new methods of cloth making.
With the start of the Industrial Revolution, Colchester's economy began to expand and was no longer based on textiles alone. In 1865, Standard Ironworks was started by James Noah Paxman - this would later become Paxman Diesels.
From the beginning of the 20th century, the textile industry began to decline. These days, the town's economy has shifted away from agriculture and industry, and has moved towards the service sector, although a number of manufacturing facilities still exist in the area.
Many of the top employers in modern Colchester are in the public sector, including Colchester Borough Council, the University of Essex and the local NHS trust.
The IT sector also provides a number of jobs and so does the financial industry. Meanwhile retail is one of the fastest growing sectors in the area.
