In honor of Community Manager Appreciation Day (CMAD), our January edition is dedicated to the unsung heroes of community building! Let's kick off with a reality check.
Myth: If you build it they will come.
Reality: A successful community doesn't run itself. It is crucial to have a Community Manager to offer guidance, encourage engagement, and maintain your content.
Level up your community with our Community Management services! Seamlessly launch, effortlessly grow, and smoothly navigate transitions.
Embarking on a new community implementation can be a challenging journey, especially in the initial weeks. At Social Edge, we understand the intricacies involved. Our experienced team is ready to support your project by providing a seasoned resource to collaborate with your platform project team. Together, we'll navigate the learning curve, ensuring a smooth and successful launch for your community.
Post-launch, as your community gains traction, the need for effective management becomes crucial. Expanding your team with a skilled community manager can play a pivotal role in fostering adoption and engagement. Social Edge offers extended support, ensuring that your community continues to thrive as it grows.
People move on, and internal promotions happen. If your community manager departs, leaving a gap in your team, it can disrupt workflow and progress. Social Edge steps in as a reliable partner, providing interim community management to maintain stability during the transition. This ensures a seamless handover while you search for the right long-term fit, preventing any disruptions to your community's success.
We're not just consultants; we're an extension of your team.
CMAD (Community Manager Appreciation Day) is once a year, but recognizing your Community Manager shouldn't be. CMAD is an excellent reminder to recognize and celebrate the people who keep your communities running—but it shouldn't be the only time you do so. Community managers juggle an array of responsibilities and often have to work at all hours. Make sure they know you appreciate their hard work and dedication. After all, a successful community doesn't run itself!
Community managers wear multiple hats, taking on roles from writers and editors to graphic designers and project managers. However, the "community manager trap" emerges when the expectation to excel in all areas becomes unrealistic.
Unily was recently named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intranet Packaged Solutions. Companies with plenty of content in need of organization should consider Unily. Their CMS makes it easy to ensure every piece of information lives in the right place, with the right people able to update and maintain. With flexible landing pages, every creator can make their site their own.
We're on the scene at Intranet Reloaded and Microsoft 365. Let's connect, share insights, and explore the latest in intranet innovations.
Missed CMAD last week? No need to worry—there's always time to celebrate! The Community Roundtable has curated a fantastic Community Manager Appreciation Day Gift Guide. While these would all be excellent gifts for the Community Manager in your life, our favorite is the "Times I was right and nobody listened" notebook. Read on and discover the perfect gift for the community manager in your life!
