  • Track growth, engagement and platform trends and adjust the approach accordingly.

Requirements

  • strong writing skills with the ability to capture someone else\'s voice convincingly
  • genuine fluency with Instagram Reels and TikTok

  • strategic thinking that lets you zoom out and plan a quarter and zoom in and write a caption
