(This week, we're re-airing our top episode of the year. Thank you for being along for the ride and for making The Science of Social Media part of your podcast routine. We're very grateful to have you. Wishing you a great 2020!)

A decade ago, the role of a social media manager might not have even existed. Today, however, almost every company is involved in social media one way or another.

But what does it take to be a great social media manager? What are the skills to master in order to be effective in 2019?

In this episode, we'll cover the primary skills that we employ for social media here at Buffer, plus a few skills we’ve noticed in social media managers around the web. A social media manager has a toolbox filled to the brim; come peek inside the toolbox with us and see what we find!
