Social Media Manager
CurrentThere aren’t a lot of social media roles that also require you to stick a thermometer up your client’s arse – and I’m not just talking about at the Christmas party. But I suppose all side hustles have their less glamorous tasks.I saved four lambs from slaughter and then it somehow snowballed into a 25-resident sheep sanctuary. To create a funny, lighthearted place on the internet and share the message that sheep are friends not food, I set up the @haggyshouse social media accounts. As I wanted the focus to stay on the animals, I kept it *all* in their own (sassy) TOV, including witty captions, playful comments on other posts and DMs directly from the sheep.One of the flock also hosts his own segment called #AskPongo on Mondays (“Don’t ask Google. Ask Pongo. Wrong answers guaranteed”) along with his Pongo Post newsletter on Substack.Transferrable skills: storytelling and a hoof on all things trends, pop culture and social media. While I’m pretty hot with a pair of trimmers, I’d still recommend booking with your usual podiatrist.
