Module:
Enterprise

Overview: This Enterprise Module is uniquely crafted for companies and organizations who are looking to bridge the gap between the CEO’s vision and the Social Media Manager’s execution.

Did you know that… according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), jobs in social media are predicted to expand 8% by 2028, which is faster than the average expected pace for all occupations.

Did you also know that.. 1 of 3 Social Media Managers make it through their first year within a company before resigning. According to Career Explorer: Social media managers rated their satisfaction with their salaries 2.8/5.

Why is that? Social Media Managers wear multiple hats:

Copywriter
Graphic Designer
Photographer
Videographer
Video Editor
Strategist
Project Manager
Community Managers
Market Researchers
Data Analyst

This is a highly turned over role because:

CEO’s have high expectations and demands for this role, oftentimes without fully understanding the layers of demand and responsibility within the actual role, which quickly leads to underwhelm and disappointment when it comes to overall performance and execution from the SMM.
‍
Social Media Managers are overworked and underpaid for their role, oftentimes feeling underlooked, under supported and under appreciated by their CEO/Marketing Leader.

What’s included in this module?

Month 1:
Social Audit, Business Goals Alignment, Content Planning and Execution
‍
Month 2:
Maintenance, Consistency and Accountability

Highlights:

Tailormade Consulting Program
Weekly Consulting and Training Calls
Slack Access to Jo
Monthly Reports and Check Ins
All Highlights and Bonuses from our Community Module

The difference between both modules is the preference of learning on your own independently or within a supported community.
‍
We encourage the community module option, as it provides the Social Media Manager with a cohort of students who become friends and/or potential business partners, and it plants the student within a healthy community to grow and scale their careers together, because you shouldn’t do life or business alone. You also receive a free limited edition academy hat as well! ;)

Who is the Enterprise Accelerator for?

This Accelerator program will consult with both the CEO/Marketing Leader and the Social Media Manager, because we believe that in order to bridge the gap, the expectation and communication should be clear among both roles.
