Friday Push to Prod

Are you a Community Manager or a Social Media Manager? Both? Are they different disciplines or the same? Which is more likely to get you hired in the ever-changing jobs landscape?

Join Stephen Reid (Editor in Chief, HTC Viveport) Katie Postma (Community and Social Media Manager for Stoic working on the Banner Saga trilogy) and Rick Heaton (Director, Community Activation at YellowPike Media). Originally recorded Friday, July 13, 2018.

Sometimes engagement happens when and where it should. Sometimes not so much. Having a solid engagement policy for all employees and making sure they understand and use it is vital. Making sure everyone knows how and when to escalate to the Community Team even more so.

How does our highly charged political environment affect your community discussions. How and when to let high risk and highly emotional discussions take place.
