Social Media Manager Duties: A Case Study in “Hectic”

One of the most common questions we get when people ask about social media management is, “What exactly is a social media manager supposed to do?”

We know they tweet a lot, Facebook a lot, and chat along a seemingly mundane and endless string, but what do they actually do?

Our friends at SocialCast put together this entertaining and yet eerily realistic Infographic about the hectic schedule that a good social media manager follows on any given day. Social media seems like fun and games to outsiders, but those in the trenches know it’s not only a constant grind, but also one that requires both creativity and empirical thought.
