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 West Bromwich
Only five miles north-west of Birmingham, West Bromwich is a large town that offers a number of options for those seeking Digital Community Builder roles.
For hundreds of years, West Bromwich was mainly an agricultural area and the town first rose to prominence during the 19th century when deposits of coal were discovered in the region.
It grew quickly as a coal mining town and associated industries also arrived. Indeed, the area became known as the Black Country due to the smoke and soot that resulted.
Until the latter half of the 20th century, West Bromwich's economy was based mainly on manufacturing, with one of its main products being metalwork for the automotive industry. Textiles and chemicals were also produced.
The town suffered significant job losses during the 1970s, as more and more factories were moved to locations abroad in order to make use of cheaper workforces.
Today, West Bromwich's economy is mainly based in retail and the service sector; this is particularly due to recent investments to regenerate the area - with large shopping centres like Queen's Square. West Bromwich Building Society has been based in the town for more than 160 years, while the region's main employers are based in the public sector, including Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council.
Manufacturing, however, does still play a part in the local economy, with products including building supplies and technology.
