- Work with the marketing team – share episodes, create teaser clips, and use data to boost listens, views, and follower counts.
- Create short video or audio clips – cut out bite‑size moments that can be shared on social media to attract new listeners.
- Track performance – watch stats like plays, shares, and comments, then suggest ways to improve reach.
- Help with other media projects – lend a hand to any extra content work the company needs, such as blog posts or webinars.
