To stay active online, many business owners think they need to hire a social media manager, but that’s not always the case. Bodhi and Co.’s new Batch Content service could be just the thing you’ve been looking for and give companies and brands the best of both worlds. Batch Content saves you time, by creating all your content in one go (or batch) and also lets you organize and plan your social media posts in a way that is easy to handle and doesn’t take too much time.

Not everyone needs a social media manager

We know that social media can often feel like a beast to feed and manage. A typical brand posts 3,650 social media posts a year across various platforms. That’s a lot of content. 

You need to plan your content, film it, find trending audio, edit it, write a caption, post it, engage and share, the list goes on and on! For some organizations having a full time social media person or outsourcing it makes perfect sense. For some though, giving up that control can be tough and difficult. So finding middle ground is important. 

How do you keep on trend and up to the minute?

With trends changing all the time, it can be hard to keep up with making consistent, quality material. This is easier with Batch Content because it lets you plan and schedule posts at once, so you don’t have to worry about coming up with new posts every day. When you use Batch Content, you can focus on running your business while still being involved on social media. The team at Bodhi work on content day in, day out, so by osmosis the team knows what’s trending on a daily basis. The team really does live and breathe it!

POV? We’ve got you covered

POV’s and trending audio are one of the best ways to get your message out there and reach a much wider audience, if you time it well and play the game well. By planning your posts ahead of time (but not too far ahead as it won’t be trending), you can make sure you are on trend and rolling with the seasons. This method keeps you relevant and still gives you a competitive edge without adding too much extra work.

Ways to batch your content and B-Roll videos

It’s important to have clear goals and themes for a Batch Content session before it starts. Figure out what kinds of posts you want to include, like how-to guides, product spotlights, or what your audience will find interesting and engaging. Get B-roll footage (extra visuals) that can be used in different ways, to use for future material. With this library of video, you can make different edits, keeping things interesting over time.

After countless revisions to your resume and writing cover letter after cover letter, the moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived– you received an email asking to set up an interview for the marketing role you’ve been eyeing. With only 20 percent of job applicants making it to the interview round, take time to celebrate this achievement, then shift your focus to prepare to ace the interview.

From the moment you receive that initial calendar invite to the post-interview thank you note, there are strategic steps to ensure you tick every box throughout the interview process and leave a lasting impression. 

Here are our tips to help you navigate every aspect of the interview process and ensure you nail your marketing interview.

Customize your resume, cover letter, and work samples for the job

Ensure that your resume is tailored specifically to the position you’re applying for by formatting and updating it accordingly. Don’t overcomplicate your application materials– keep it clean, simple, and professional, avoiding unnecessary complexities. Incorporate relevant keywords from the job description to optimize your resume for applicant tracking systems and catch the recruiter or interviewer’s eye.

Make sure you lead from the top. Don’t leave your most relevant experience at the bottom of your resume. The hiring manager may not get that far. Pull it to the top, so it’s front and center, and remove any small or unnecessary roles. 

Don’t be afraid to show off a little

If you are interviewing for a marketing position, brand yourself. A portfolio with relevant examples, no matter your experience level, is the perfect place to showcase your skills and abilities. 

If you are a new graduate, have little experience, or have none, use material from your college courses or personal projects that can help showcase your breadth of skills and knowledge. The importance of a portfolio lies more in its ability to help you break into the industry to prove your worth.

Yes, show off and be proud of your work, but always remember to stay humble and professional!

Use Canva or Adobe

If you are applying for a marketing or creative role, do not, whatever the weather, send a resume as a Word or Google Doc. Use Canva and their 100 amazing resume templates or Adobe, to show you have a good creative eye. 

At Bodhi and Co., if your resume isn’t ‘designed’ – it goes straight into the no pile, sadly, so do let that happen. 

Do your homework

We hate breaking it to you, but homework doesn’t stop after graduating. Before any marketing interview, research the company and employer who is interviewing you. 47 percent of candidates who interview with companies are rejected because they don’t understand the role or details about the company they are interviewing with.

Dress the part, make an impression, and stand out

Pay attention to how you present yourself in your interview. Dress to impress; we promise your comfy sweatshirt will be waiting for you at home.

If you have a video interview, ensure the background is not distracting, maintain respectable eye contact as much as possible, and keep a positive, welcoming, and go-getter attitude throughout your interview. And if you need a ring light, go and get one. 

Be a storyteller

Crafting compelling narratives is essential in nailing your interview. When responding to questions, weave your experiences into engaging stories. Begin with setting the scene, walk through the challenges you faced, elaborate on your actions taken, and conclude with the result achieved. This structured approach, often called the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), ensures clarity and organization in your responses, leaving a lasting impression of your skills and competence.

Ask questions

Even though the interviewer is using the interview to get to know you, it is the perfect time to ask all your questions about the company and role.

It is recommended to have at least 5 questions prepared beforehand. 

Always say thank you

After every interview, send a thank you note to your interviewer. A handwritten note is personable and speaks volumes, but employers understand this isn’t always possible. Either way, you should send an email within 24 hours of your interview. 

In your thank you note, include specific points discussed in the interview that validate your interest in the position and your ability to meet or exceed the expectations of the open role.   

Whether you are a new graduate entering the job market or a seasoned professional looking for your next marketing role, remember that great things will come your way with patience, hard work, and consistency.
