- Contribute to brainstorms and early-stage campaign planning, bringing forward ideas informed by community trends and audience interests.
- Assist with developing social strategy presentations, research decks, and reporting for internal teams and clients.
- Collaborate with strategists to better understand how community insights inform broader social and content strategies.
