To distinguish one from the other, let us dive into their roles and purposes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"What-Social-Media-Management\"><strong>What Social Media Management?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media management in Singapore<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the same as in the rest of the world. It is a process responsible and defines a brand\u2019s voice on all social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal here is to deliver the latest news about the brand across different social media platforms from Facebook to LinkedIn. They could be about products, services, or even events that the brand will release or do in the coming weeks or months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this, the brand will have to create content to entice its target audience. Here is a good example from Uniqlo Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29114\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Uniqlo-Social-Media-Management.png\" alt=\"Uniqlo Social Media Management\" width=\"454\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Uniqlo-Social-Media-Management.png 454w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Uniqlo-Social-Media-Management-244x300.png 244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, the person who posted this content on Uniqlo Singapore\u2019s Facebook page wants to inform the masses about the 95th anniversary of Winnie the Pooh while encouraging people to try their newest collection of clothing. They even include where their target audience could find their shop at Orchard Central so none of them would get lost searching for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In summary, the role and purpose of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/social-media-management\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media management<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actively be the voice of the brand across various social media platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think, create, and schedule content for the target audience.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deliver latest and updated news about the brand.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"What-Is-Community-Management\"><strong>What Is Community Management?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">community management<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is like customer service since it is responsible for brand advocacy. Its process is about connecting with the people supporting a brand. They could be followers, fans or even target audiences.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Community management<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> aims to build, develop, and maintain relationships between these individuals. The person who handles this process should have active listening skills so they would be able to understand the needs and wants of the people interested in their brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good example of this process would be how Uniqlo hires people with disabilities as staff in their stores. Here, as you can see, this decision won the hearts of many people, which is why the brand tries to expand it to other countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29113\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Uniqlo-Community-Management.png\" alt=\"Uniqlo Community Management\" width=\"688\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Uniqlo-Community-Management.png 688w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Uniqlo-Community-Management-300x244.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In summary, c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ommunity management<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a type of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/social-media-management\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media marketing<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and its role and purpose are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To create and develop a community that will continue supporting their products or services.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To increase customer engagement through community discussion.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To respond to the questions of the people and help resolve them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Which-One-Is-Better\"><strong>Which One Is Better?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media management<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and community management are two sides of the same coin.
