What you'd be doing on Instagram and Reddit
- Reply to comments and DMs on Instagram and look after the wider community conversation there.
- Follow relevant Reddit communities, join discussions with some thought, and look for ways to build awareness and trust.
- Keep an eye on short-form video trends and back Reels work where it applies. Making Reels yourself is a bonus, not a must.
- Track trends, formats, conversations and cultural moments on both platforms that could turn into content ideas.
- Help plan content, read performance insights, and suggest practical ways to improve engagement, reach and user growth.
- Keep the brand's tone friendly, quick to respond and steady across comments, DMs, posts and community threads.

- Pick one current trend and write a short note on how a brand could use it without sounding forced.
