  • Plan and create diverse content calendars, incorporating topics such as regulatory updates, yield optimization, sustainable investing, and crypto adoption to foster community growth and organic engagement.

  • Analyze social media performance using analytics tools to track KPIs such as engagement rates, follower growth, and on-chain attribution, then pivot strategies based on data insights (e.g., optimizing for peak trading hours or post-market event trends).
  • Identify opportunities to enhance organic reach, such as reactive content for Web3 trends or targeted collaborations in fintech spaces.
  • Contribute to strategy roadmaps by proposing content ideas, targets, and experiments focused on building authority in investment communities.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends in Web3, fintech, and traditional finance, incorporating real-time events like ETF approvals or protocol upgrades into content plans.

  • In-depth knowledge of social platforms including X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Telegram, Discord, and Reddit's finance subs.
  • Demonstrable use of data insights to create high-performing content, such as optimizing for engagement during market volatility.
  • Comfort with dynamic workflows, switching between copywriting, planning, and execution while adapting to real-time events like protocol upgrades.
