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 Norwich
A city with a long and varied history, Norwich is the county town of Norfolk and from the 11th century until the Industrial Revolution, it was the second largest city in England after London.
During this period, Norwich was a market town known for its wool and textiles; it also traded pottery. There was a large cattle market during the 1700s and brewing became big business, peaking at the beginning of the 19th century. A number of microbreweries and artisan beer makers are still based in the region.
One of Norwich's best-known products is Colman's mustard, which has been made in the city since 1804 when Jeremiah Colman bought a flour mill in the area. He began producing mustard in 1814 and the company is still thriving in Norwich today - although it's now operated by Unilever and the range of products has expanded to include a variety of sauces and condiments.
