• Experience in a digital/social media focused agency
• A thorough knowledge of the various social platforms and how they are best utilised
• The ability to think creatively and communicate a well thought out social strategy
• An outgoing, friendly personality that will allow you to build relationships quickly
• Ideally experience using third party social media management platforms like Hootsuite, Sprout Social, Social Pilot etc.
