Words cannot express how excited I am to be putting pen to virtual paper for this blog post. No really, they can’t… so I’ll save you the endless (and annoying) exclamation marks and instead just point you to the photo over to the right.
That cute little lady over there (h/t to sidkid for the awesome photo!) comes close to describing what I feel about this new role. Related: I may or may not have done the same thing when I found out I got the job.
As the title says, I’ve recently accepted a role at Billboard (yes, THAT Billboard) to be their Social Marketing Manager. This is the opportunity of a lifetime and I’m beyond stoked to see what I can jump in and accomplish.
So – what will I be doing in this beyond amazing job of a job? Here’s the highlights version!
I’ll be…
- One of the voices behind Billboard’s Twitter (@billboarddotcom) and their Facebook page (as well as the other social outposts like Instagram, YouTube, etc.)
- Working with the events marketing team to market Billboard events
- Helping to drive traffic to Billboard.com
- Doing a lot of Community Manager-type stuff, including community development and engagement, as well as outreach
- Working on a lot of the contests/sweepstakes you see on Billboard.com
- Measuring everything I do (would you expect anything else?)
I could wax poetic about how this role is made of sheer awesomeness and unicorns and I could go on practically forever with my ideas for things to do, especially as I’ve got a list already that takes up quite a few pages…
But I won’t, as that would be annoying. Instead I’ll let YOU imagine just how excited I am to be able to join the already beyond awesome team(s) at Billboard and have the unbelievable chance to do what I’m passionate about doing on my nights/weekends for a full-time job.
As far as what this means for this blog? TBD for the nitty-gritty, but I do know that this blog will be sticking around and still be talking about the same topic I currently talk about – digital marketing for musicians. That being said, from time to time I might mention something I’m working on/have worked on at Billboard, so expect some cross-pollination at points.
