Pros

  • • Really fun job if you're into numbers
  • • So many opportunities for strategists in social media (YouTube Strategist duties: coming up with video ideas, conducting keyword research, providing insight on how to improve retention, packaging ideas to increase CTR etc.)

Cons

  • • Very technical role - have to be comfortable with analytics tools, metrics, understanding data trends
  • • Have to constantly deal with changing trends, algorithm changes etc.
  • • Strategy is only one piece of the puzzle, have to rely on others to effectively execute the strategies you put in place
