Social Media Careers
By Mike Myatt, Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth
If you haven’t bought-off on my arguments for jumping on the social media bandwagon, and you’re still looking for validation that social media is something more than where degenerate minds go to waste time, just look at the careers available for those who possess the right qualifications. In doing a bit of research I found several hundred private and public sector jobs available for titles such as Director of Social Media, VP of New Media, Digital Media Strategist, Social Media Coordinator, etc. Before you dismiss these positions as not being “real jobs,” you should know that I found several government positions that offer a high five figure starting salary (here’s one), and many private sector positions in the $150K to $250K range. So my question is this: Who is in charge of your social media initiatives?
