Ask yourself – are you lacking extra help?
If your workload is hectic, and you lack support for some mundane tasks; or perhaps you lack a particular skill, such as understanding Google Analytics or SEO, a remote marketing assistant can be a fantastic asset.
What is a remote marketing assistant?
A remote marketing assistant is an individual who offers support to the marketing team or marketing manager who has a business to run. When the business is relatively small, a remote marketing assistant can handle all the tasks under the guidance of the CEO. The assistant works remotely, taking care of the admin and managing the marketing plan. In addition, the remote or virtual assistant will generate social media content, engage with the social media followers, check activities on social media, release communication materials such as newsletters to the database, and write blog posts based on keyword research. Whether onsite or remote, a marketing assistant should always have excellent communication skills and outstanding organizational abilities. This assistant should adhere to the brand identity, values, mission, and vision.
How can a remote marketing assistant help the marketing team?
A virtual marketing assistant will work alongside the marketing team – helping the team with their tasks. The VA will also be assigned personal tasks to complete. These tasks are often time-consuming, or they might demand the legwork needed to complete superb marketing plans. Nevertheless, such chores are primarily repetitive and routine. For instance, if your team is swamped with meetings, strategy sessions, and building solid relationships with customers or other businesses, team members might lack time to write your blogs. Here, a virtual assistant can produce written content aligned with best practices and optimize SEO to increase organic traffic. A savvy marketing assistant can do all of this legwork work, releasing the content based on a content calendar to ensure that content is removed regularly and timeously. Additionally, a remote marketing assistant will support the marketing team to ensure that the marketing plan is working.
How else can a remote marketing assistant help the marketing team?
Besides doing some of the tasks, a remote worker can increase productivity and enhance the overall spirit of the team. This is because the in-house marketing team will have time to focus on their core work, engaging with clients and business partners, delving deeper into the data to find unique ways of innovating. This team will also have more time to spend with their loved ones. Ultimately, your workers will remain with you for longer – saving you the need for finding replacements, or from losing your star workers to the competition.
How can you acquire a remote marketing assistant promptly?
