• Visual Brand Elevation:
Continuously improve the overall look and feel of our social platforms by creating a cohesive, polished, and premium visual identity that makes our trailers and manufacturing process stand out.

Capture and showcase the craftsmanship, innovation, and behind-the-scenes aspects of our manufacturing process in a way that is both informative and visually compelling.

• Trend Adaptation:
Stay on top of social media trends and adapt them in a way that aligns with our brand and industry , ensuring content feels relevant without losing authenticity.

• Event & Travel Content Capture:
Travel periodically (a few times per year) to trade shows, industry events, and brand activations to capture real-time content and tell the story of our brand in action. Additionally, travel to other company plant locations as needed to capture a high volume of photo and video content that supports multiple brands and ongoing content needs.

• Campaign Management:
Plan and execute paid social media advertising campaigns (Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads) to drive traffic, dealer inquiries, and direct sales, adhering to set budgets.

• Community Management:
Monitor and respond to comments, messages, and inquiries in a timely, professional manner to foster engagement and provide customer support.

• Brand Representation:
Act as a brand ambassador, ensuring consistent tone, voice, and visual identity across all platforms.
