Hey, Freelance Social Media Managers—It’s Time to Work Smarter (not harder)

Are you tired of doing it all—content creation, editing, design, strategy, analytics, client management, chasing down leads—on top of actually trying to grow brands?

At Social Media Co-op, we believe in one thing: Social Media Managers should be doing what they do best—MANAGING. That means no more spending hours editing videos or designing graphics. We handle that for you. No more chasing down clients or negotiating contracts. We take care of that too.

We’re building a collective of high-level social media managers who are tired of the exhausting solo hustle and want to focus on what really moves the needle: strategy, engagement, and brand growth.

Who This Is For:

✔ Experienced social media managers who know how to develop and execute a strong strategy.
✔ Strategists & leaders who focus on engagement, analytics, and brand growth.
✔ Freelancers looking for stability without losing their independence (you can keep/pursue outside clients!).
✔ People who value work-life balance—we cap workloads at two accounts max and 30 hours per week.

What You’ll Do:

✅ Manage & execute social media strategies for B2B and B2C clients.
✅ Oversee content planning, project management, & engagement—without getting stuck in lower level tasks.
✅ Analyze and optimize campaigns based on performance insights.
✅ Be the strategic leader for the accounts you manage.

What You Won’t Do:

❌ Video editing—we have editors for that.
❌ Graphic design—our design team handles it.
❌ Client negotiations or invoices—we take care of all business logistics.

What We Offer:

✔ Competitive pay—you bring the expertise, we bring the clients.
✔ A team that respects your role—you’re here to manage, not to do everything.
✔ A work model built for balance—two accounts max, no burnout.
✔ Flexibility & remote work—work from anywhere, with no micromanaging.

Application Question(s):

Engagement & Growth Challenge:

A client’s Instagram engagement has dropped significantly over the past three months. Their content quality hasn’t changed, but their posts are getting fewer likes, comments, and shares. They want to increase engagement but don't want to rely solely on paid ads.
Question: What steps would you take to diagnose the issue, and what organic strategies would you implement to boost engagement?

Crisis Management Scenario:

A client receives backlash on Twitter after an old, controversial post resurfaces. The post has gained traction, and people are calling for a response. The client is unsure whether to delete it, issue a statement, or ignore it.
Question: How would you handle this situation to protect the client’s reputation while staying true to their brand values?

Content Strategy Pivot:

A fitness influencer client has built their audience with weight loss content, but they now want to pivot to strength training and body positivity. However, their audience isn't responding well to the change, and engagement is dropping.
Question: How would you adjust their content strategy to retain their existing audience while attracting new followers aligned with their new direction?
