THE
COMMUNITY
MANAGER REPORT




      Produced by Jason Keath
      CEO, Social Fresh
I. Introduction
One year ago, Social Fresh conducted a survey to get some basic information
on community managers. The response yielded great data that we enjoyed
sharing with the Social Fresh community.

This year we gathered more information from more community managers. We
surveyed 304 community managers between January 5th and January 20th.

All numbers specifically attributed to “community managers” exclude other job
titles and community managers not working more than 20 hours per week on
community management, unless otherwise stated.

please view them on the Social Fresh Flickr account here: http://sofre.sh/06F.
II. Demographics

1. Gender:

The community manager role is still dominated by female professionals. In 2011
we found a 68% female to 32% male ratio. We saw slight change this year to
65% female and 35% male. However, the size of the audience surveyed this
year was twice as large, so the difference between this year and last year is
more likely an improvement in the data and sample size, and not an industry
trend.
2. Age:

The average age for a community manager in 2011 was 30 years old. We found
the exact same result in 2012. The range in age of community managers is still
quite large, from 18 to 54.
3. Geography:

We saw a large range in geography this year. As a result we expanded the top
cities list from five cities in 2011 to ten total cities for 2012. The 2011 top cities
list included:
     1. New York City
     2. San Francisco
     3. Boston
     4. Denver
     5. Austin

Notably, 8% of community managers surveyed lived outside large metropolitan
areas this year, up from 4% last year. 17% live outside of the United States. And
two cities, London (5th) and Toronto (6th), were in the top 10 cities listed by those
community managers surveyed.

Other cities new to the top list since 2011 include Los Angeles (4th), Chicago
(7th), Washington DC (9th), and Miami (10th).

The northeast region of the United States still dominates with the most
community managers. New York City (18%) alone claims almost one in every
five community managers surveyed. NYC, Boston, and Washington DC combine
for 31% of all community managers surveyed.
III. Community and Industry
We explored some of the community demographics: B2B vs. B2C, agency vs.
brand managed, and top industries.

1. B2C vs. B2B

Community managers are three times as likely to be working on behalf of a
consumer focused brand (B2C) than a business customer focused brand (B2B).
2. Brand vs. Agency:

Community managers are twice as likely to be working directly for the brand as
compared to an agency on behalf of said brand.
3. Industries:

We categorized all the community managers surveyed into their corresponding
industries. Software, marketing, and retail were the most common industries
listed.

              Industry             Community Managers
Software/Tech                                 40

IV. Compensation
Before we dive into some great numbers on average compensation for
community manager roles, we wanted to find out how the community managers
were measured. How is their success determined?

The two top factors that determined success were engagement metrics (50%)
and community growth metrics (25%).
1. Age

How does age impact the compensation of a community manager? More
professional experience does equate to a larger average salary, to a point. We
found that a ceiling is reached near $55,000.




2. Gender

Does gender have a significant impact on the salary of a community manager?
Yes. The average male community manager makes close to $4,000 more than
the average female community manager.

Gender                                    Average Salary
Female                                        $50,400.00
Male                                          $54,880.00
3. Role

A wide range of definitions, responsibilities, and resources exist for the
community manager role.

In addition, many social media professionals that hold the title “social media
strategist” or “director of community management” are spending a majority of
their time managing communities. Below is the breakdown in average salary for
these three roles.

Role                                         Average Salary
Community Manager                              $51,647.00
Social Media Strategist                         $55,806.00
Director of Community                           $77,302.00
V. Execution
1. Hours On The Job:

The community manager position has a broad time commitment average. While
the large majority of community managers, 61%, are spending 30+ hours per
week managing communities — there are still a significant number of
community managers working part time. Part time community managers fall into
one of three categories:
   • Freelancers hired by the hour
   • Agency employees with limited hours for that client
   • Brand side marketers with community management assigned as only a
       portion of their responsibilities
2. Platforms and Tasks:

How are community managers spending their time while on the job? We asked
two questions related to this execution side of the equation.

First, we wanted to know where community managers saw the most success.
On which platform (Facebook, Blogs, Forums, etc) were they seeing the best
results?




Facebook, Twitter, and blogs showed up in the top four and were expected.
Third on the list, Forums, listed by 10% of the community managers surveyed,
were a welcomed surprise. Forums continue to be an important platform of the
community manager role. Facebook, not surprisingly, was the big winner with
55% of community managers listing it as the platform where they see the best
results.
Then, to compare, we asked community managers what task took up most of
their time.




Content creation, a task that is important in support of all platforms yet not
crucial to managing communities, was listed as the most time intensive task.
Another content related task, managing an editorial calendar, came in fourth on
the list with 10%. Facebook and Twitter engagement also topped the list with
19% and 10%, as the most time intensive tasks. Customer service, comment
moderation, general community engagement, and analytics/reporting were also
listed.
VI. Closing Thoughts
The community manager role continues to evolve, segment, and mature. Junior
employees are being used as support staff. Senior level social media
professionals are managing staff, strategy, and analytics.

However, there also continues to be a large number of community managers
with fewer hours and compensation than we expected. Many companies are
testing the waters with part time community management.

We will continue to monitor the community manager role and report back on
future trends.

The community manager reporting

  • 1. THE COMMUNITY MANAGER REPORT Produced by Jason Keath CEO, Social Fresh
  • 2. I. Introduction One year ago, Social Fresh conducted a survey to get some basic information on community managers. The response yielded great data that we enjoyed sharing with the Social Fresh community. This year we gathered more information from more community managers. We surveyed 304 community managers between January 5th and January 20th. All numbers specifically attributed to “community managers” exclude other job titles and community managers not working more than 20 hours per week on community management, unless otherwise stated. To see higher resolution versions of the graphs included within this document, please view them on the Social Fresh Flickr account here: http://sofre.sh/06F.
  • 3. II. Demographics 1. Gender: The community manager role is still dominated by female professionals. In 2011 we found a 68% female to 32% male ratio. We saw slight change this year to 65% female and 35% male. However, the size of the audience surveyed this year was twice as large, so the difference between this year and last year is more likely an improvement in the data and sample size, and not an industry trend.
  • 4. 2. Age: The average age for a community manager in 2011 was 30 years old. We found the exact same result in 2012. The range in age of community managers is still quite large, from 18 to 54.
  • 5. 3. Geography: We saw a large range in geography this year. As a result we expanded the top cities list from five cities in 2011 to ten total cities for 2012. The 2011 top cities list included: 1. New York City 2. San Francisco 3. Boston 4. Denver 5. Austin Notably, 8% of community managers surveyed lived outside large metropolitan areas this year, up from 4% last year. 17% live outside of the United States. And two cities, London (5th) and Toronto (6th), were in the top 10 cities listed by those community managers surveyed. Other cities new to the top list since 2011 include Los Angeles (4th), Chicago (7th), Washington DC (9th), and Miami (10th). The northeast region of the United States still dominates with the most community managers. New York City (18%) alone claims almost one in every five community managers surveyed. NYC, Boston, and Washington DC combine for 31% of all community managers surveyed.
  • 6. III. Community and Industry We explored some of the community demographics: B2B vs. B2C, agency vs. brand managed, and top industries. 1. B2C vs. B2B Community managers are three times as likely to be working on behalf of a consumer focused brand (B2C) than a business customer focused brand (B2B).
  • 7. 2. Brand vs. Agency: Community managers are twice as likely to be working directly for the brand as compared to an agency on behalf of said brand.
  • 8. 3. Industries: We categorized all the community managers surveyed into their corresponding industries. Software, marketing, and retail were the most common industries listed. Industry Community Managers Software/Tech 40 Marketing/Communication 27 Retail 25 Philanthropy 15 Healthcare/Pharmaceuticals 15 Media/Publishing 15 Gaming 14 Food & Beverage 14 Entertainment & Hospitality 13 Education 11 Travel 10 Finance 8 Consumer Goods 8 Government/Municipal 7 Automotive 7 Electronics 7 Services 7 Real Estate 6 Beauty 6 Advertising 4 Website 4 Energy 4 Telecom 3 Ecommerce 3
  • 9. IV. Compensation Before we dive into some great numbers on average compensation for community manager roles, we wanted to find out how the community managers were measured. How is their success determined? The two top factors that determined success were engagement metrics (50%) and community growth metrics (25%).
  • 10. 1. Age How does age impact the compensation of a community manager? More professional experience does equate to a larger average salary, to a point. We found that a ceiling is reached near $55,000. 2. Gender Does gender have a significant impact on the salary of a community manager? Yes. The average male community manager makes close to $4,000 more than the average female community manager. Gender Average Salary Female $50,400.00 Male $54,880.00
  • 11. 3. Role A wide range of definitions, responsibilities, and resources exist for the community manager role. In addition, many social media professionals that hold the title “social media strategist” or “director of community management” are spending a majority of their time managing communities. Below is the breakdown in average salary for these three roles. Role Average Salary Community Manager $51,647.00 Social Media Strategist $55,806.00 Director of Community $77,302.00
  • 12. V. Execution 1. Hours On The Job: The community manager position has a broad time commitment average. While the large majority of community managers, 61%, are spending 30+ hours per week managing communities — there are still a significant number of community managers working part time. Part time community managers fall into one of three categories: • Freelancers hired by the hour • Agency employees with limited hours for that client • Brand side marketers with community management assigned as only a portion of their responsibilities
  • 13. 2. Platforms and Tasks: How are community managers spending their time while on the job? We asked two questions related to this execution side of the equation. First, we wanted to know where community managers saw the most success. On which platform (Facebook, Blogs, Forums, etc) were they seeing the best results? Facebook, Twitter, and blogs showed up in the top four and were expected. Third on the list, Forums, listed by 10% of the community managers surveyed, were a welcomed surprise. Forums continue to be an important platform of the community manager role. Facebook, not surprisingly, was the big winner with 55% of community managers listing it as the platform where they see the best results.
  • 14. Then, to compare, we asked community managers what task took up most of their time. Content creation, a task that is important in support of all platforms yet not crucial to managing communities, was listed as the most time intensive task. Another content related task, managing an editorial calendar, came in fourth on the list with 10%. Facebook and Twitter engagement also topped the list with 19% and 10%, as the most time intensive tasks. Customer service, comment moderation, general community engagement, and analytics/reporting were also listed.
  • 15. VI. Closing Thoughts The community manager role continues to evolve, segment, and mature. Junior employees are being used as support staff. Senior level social media professionals are managing staff, strategy, and analytics. However, there also continues to be a large number of community managers with fewer hours and compensation than we expected. Many companies are testing the waters with part time community management. We will continue to monitor the community manager role and report back on future trends. Find more social media insights for the marketing perspective: SocialFresh.com
