They formulate the online campaigns that take your company where it needs to be. If you want to be a DMM you’ll need 5+ years’ experience and the projects to back you up.
- Content Marketing Manager – While the DMM lays out the way forward the Content Marketing Manager or CMM makes sure the content that populates a company’s various delivery platforms (blog, Facebook page, etc) is all pointing in the direction of the DMM’s vision. Producing a consistent message that supports the big picture laid out by the DMM is the job of the CMM.
- Social Media Marketing Manager – Social media marketing has become such a force that it often has its manager in larger organizations both in India and abroad.
Their responsibilities are typically twofold: 1) to disseminate proprietary content through social media channels and 2) to manage a company’s paid social media efforts.

The SEO expert directs keyword research, directs web page optimization, develops keyword mapping strategies, refines the user experience, audits the website to determine visibility, generates new content ideas, and is up on the latest industry trends. Among other things.
- Copywriter – Most copywriters are professional freelance writers contracted to produce high-quality content for landing pages, blogs, social media posts, and more.
