Social Media Team Structures

Hey Community! Happy Friday! I’m reaching out to understand a little more about social team structure at mid-size companies and larger enterprises. I have experience working on large enterprise teams where there are defined titles and roles with a clear path for social career progression.I’d love to learn a little about what is the standard structure for social teams. Thanks for sharing!

Why do you work in social?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately as I notice a bit of a divide between people who work in social and genuinely love it (testing, learning, new feature exploring, getting on the newest channels immediately, etc.) and those people who work in it but are going through the motions (don’t keep up with platforms, etc.). It may be as simple as, to some people a job is just a job and it is where life has taken them at the moment or may some people are trying to get out. Or maybe social has lost its joy for some because of legal teams or restrictions. All of that leads me to, which person are you - do you still love social and the industry or are you just doing the job you’re in right now? Neither answer is right/wrong! I feel like it is a healthy discussion to have to better understand how our industry is leaning.

Community Spotlight: Tiffany Torbik ✨Arboretum Spotlight

Join us in celebrating Tiffany Torbik, August’s Arboretum Spotlight!Tiffany Torbik (@tiffany.torbik) is a Social Community Manager at True Classic. 💡 Fun fact: I'm a twin, I have 6 kids and I know random facts that do not help me in any way.🔧 Recent projects: Within our Community: Surprise and Delight - I recently suggested we ask for teachers' wish lists coming into this new school year. My CEO took that to heart and we are in the thick of it, working on getting all these teacher lists fulfilled.  Within my day to day job: Brand voice - I’ve worked hard to create personas within our team so when they interact with our customer base and followers, they embody who we are as a company and what we want to achieve through our community. 🔍 Favorite social account: Personally: @ophelianichols AKA MamaTOT or @Dopefrais ( I could watch his cooking videos ALL DAY). Professionally: Gary Vee, hands down. 🎉 When not working: With four littles at home, life is a non-stop adventure. We're all ab

New to Arb!

Hello all! I’m joining Arboretum as a newly minted Social Media Specialist for Concordia University Irvine in Southern California. Not only have I just moved to SoCal, I have never officially had the role of social media manager before. I think I have a lot to learn, but so far I feel like this job is a great fit. I’m getting involved with Arboretum because I use Sprout frequently throughout the day and it’s great to have a group of people who are up to date on the same topics/issues/news as me. Thanks in advance for your support and advice!
