Understand the evolution of the community manager - from managing and building communities to CRM specialist and paid social strategist. The main responsibilities of a community manager over the past 3-4 years have focused greatly on finding best strategies to build communities and plan content that would both entertain the existing community (engagement) and drive additional users to the brand's community. However, as both the users behaviour on social platforms has gradually changed, and the organic distribution algorithms for most social platforms, the skills and thinking required for a community manager have greatly evolved to encourage proactive engagement outside the brand community and the use of a much more hyper-targeted approach to communications.

• Your community isn’t a fixed group of people that you own and manage, it’s flickering
moments of opportunity based on shared passion.
34 Million FB followers 60K attending each match Thousands discussing every day…
