When I first started many people I met had no concept of what an online community manager does. To be perfectly honest, I'm learning more about the role every day :-) I agree with Rich that it's important that we brand the role correctly at this particular time in the economic cycle. I don't want to tie the value of the role to the recession too much though. I fear that further down the track employers will see the community manager as a short-cut to economic success. I agree that the CM role is likely to be cost-effective, but it also requires proper resourcing and is a long term strategy. That's obvious to those of us involved, but for agencies and many businesses only used to dealing with promotion on a campaign schedule (three months etc) it's a profound change. The way then that the CM role is resourced needs to be considered in light of this changed approach to the customer. Great post - the RWW piece is excellent and in spite of everything, it's nice to feel that you're in demand :-) It’s funny, but even within my first three months of being a community manager I have noticed that more and more people are at least aware of the existence of the role.
