Movers & Shakers Three Digital Hires for Online Success Building the right digital and social media team is an extremely important step in the hiring process, whether your brand is 100 years old or new-to-market. Your current consumer lives online, so when it comes to your next round of hiring, Josh Wand, CEO of BevForce—a leading recruiting and staffing agency for the beverage industry—suggests building a savvy digital team that can efficiently generate brand awareness and drive brand objectives. Role call! Digital Strategist: A cross-channel media guru who can offer up guidance and strategies to achieve company goals. A person in this role will act as a liaison between technology, marketing, business development and analytics. They will also have the ability to evaluate and, more importantly, build efficient paths to influence, drive and grow your online business. Growth Hacker: You've probably heard this term being thrown around the web, but it's the real deal. A good growth hacker has killer instinct and the analytical skills to target and acquire information from your desired audience with innovative tactics and, most importantly, at low cost. Content & Community Manager: Assuming a few Instagrams and tweets will move the needle for online success? It's not that easy. To truly engage a digital audience, a community manager must be a consistent part of the digital conversa- tion in your respective industry space—contributing, commenting, sharing and fol- lowing. All day, every day. Additionally, creating your own content (e.g. behind the scenes of your business, industry interviews, innovative videos) gives you in-house (free) leverage to partner with other companies without a "hard sell" attached. The suggestions above are just a few examples of key digital roles to consider. It all comes down to what you need for your brand.
