Podcast: CM managers are a bunch of crybabies

In short

  • Community managers face the pressure of making content go viral with non-existent budgets and impossible results.
  • The episode explores the always-online syndrome, the CM’s loneliness and difficult-to-answer comments.
  • Although their work is invisible, CMs keep a brand’s content going and are essential to it.

Community managers cry too.

The pressure to “make it go viral”.

Bosses demanding impossible results with non-existent budgets.

Clients who won’t even let them go out to record because “it’s an extra cost”.

The always-online syndrome, the CM’s loneliness… and those impossible-to-answer comments without losing patience (“How much does it cost?” beneath a post that already says so).

This episode is for everyone who keeps a brand’s content going without anyone noticing. Because a CM’s work is invisible… but without them, there is no brand.
