Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one facing this, why do so many clients think a social media manager and a marketer are the same thing? 😅
They’re not! A social media manager handles posting, engagement, and keeping the page alive.
A marketer, on the other hand, focuses on strategy, paid campaigns, conversions, and growth.
Both roles are super important, but they serve different purposes, one keeps your brand active, the other makes your brand profitable.
I’ve had clients say, “We already have a social media person, so we don’t need marketing,” and I’m like... you kind of do. 😂
Fellow freelancers in marketing and social media, do you face this too?
