Social Media Manager

Missey Marsh for School Board
07.2024 - 11.2024
  • I managed the social media accounts for a local school board campaign.
  • While working on this campaign, I started the Facebook account, and it grew from zero followers to over 800, while increasing engagement every week.
  • There were two main accounts, Facebook and Instagram, that I monitored, posted on, and created content for.
  • As this work was for an election, there was often a fast turnaround time. I would receive videos and have them edited and posted the same day, while working on several pieces of content at a time.
  • Crucial to this role was working as a team with the campaign manager and the candidate to make sure we got the correct message out in a timely matter, as well as promptly responding to issues that arose.
