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 Kidderminster
With the huge conurbation of the Birmingham area four miles (7 km) of rural land away, Kidderminster is almost, but not quite, a part of it. With its next-door neighbour Stourport-on-Severn, however, it has an entirely different feel to it – definitely more of a town. The Worcestershire settlement is home to about 60,000 people is located 17 miles (27 km) to the south west of the centre of Birmingham, 14 miles (23 km) north or Worcester and 32 miles (50 km) south east of Shrewsbury. It has rail links to the north and south as well into Birmingham, and the M5 is 9 miles down the road.
Kidderminster’s most important single industry has traditionally been carpet making. The well known Brintons company set up in the town at the end of the eighteenth century, and to this day it has still not had the rug pulled from under its feet – it’s still a good local employer. Victoria Carpets is also based here, and again it is bucking the Industrial Revolution trend and staying in business. The town has a bustling town centre and a recently redeveloped shopping centre called Weaver’s Wharf, which is another key employer.
If you’re looking for Digital Community Builder work in Kidderminster, you could be in luck as it does still have something of an industrial base, even through the town itself is relatively comfortable – it’s also a handy commuter town for Birmingham and Worcester. The shopping centre and the good rail and road links also make it a likely place for logistics and supply chain operations to get started, so if you’re based in the town, do get in touch.
