I previously worked for a start-up called, Passenger , where I was as a Community Manager for brands like Nike, JcPenney, and ABC. While at Passenger I posted to the company blog about the role of a Community Manager.

This framework will enable brands to strategically navigate through, as opposed to just blindly rolling out the latest, must-have tactics. Our Social Media Strategic Framework (SMSF) sets out a number of key areas for organsiations to consider: 1) Social Media Strategy - As organisations start to understand the far reaching implications of social media they quickly appreciate the need to define a social media strategy that mutually supports other strategies within the organisation.
