  • Develop strategies for promoting and sharing digital content via social media channels (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube) to engage and mobilize target audiences
  • Create reports on media metrics to determine what content resonates
  • Significantly increase FRAC’s social media footprint, engagement, and followers
  • Coordinate with internal department stakeholders to ensure social media activities help support various FRAC initiatives.

  • Work both independently and with staff to conceptualize ideas for consistent blog content on FRAC Chat. Coordinate the editing and publishing process for each blog.
  • Other digital media projects as assigned by the Communications Director.

 

Experience and Qualifications
