Social media manager has been among the most popular and attractive career development paths in recent years. Explosive growth of digital media fuelled the labour market demand for services of people understanding the specifics of the new communication and who can manage it effectively. However, despite popular beliefs, this job is much more about analysing charts and graphs than light-hearted creation of funny pictures. Social media managers are supported in their daily jobs by multiple tools that became available online in recent years. Some are presented below.

  • Brand24 and Sentione – social media monitoring tools
    Two tools for monitoring social media and the Internet (portals, services). They will help you find out whether Internet users are discussing your brand (and other topics of possible interest to you) and where the discussion is taking place. Both services will indicate the intensity of the discussion (how many people are engaged in it, how many people had a chance to see it) and will prompt its sentiment (whether it’s positive or negative). The Internet monitoring tools will let you know where to appear with your brand communication.
  • BuzzSumo – popular content search engine
    A service that will let you know what topics are currently being discussed by Internet users. BuzzSumo monitors the web for the number of shares of a publication and generates rankings of those most popular. Content may be searched for topics of interest (e.g. biology, medicine).
