What your average day might look like in this role
Starting the day with a check of our social media channels, you'll be across who's posting what, commenting where and how many times they're hitting the like button. Next you might get in touch with our graphic designer to brief them on an upcoming project.
After a strategy chat with the team about our upcoming fundraising appeal, you'll hop into Canva to create some social media tiles for the upcoming campaign. The content you create for social media will become a compelling case for individuals to donate to the RFDS.
In the afternoon you'll head into our aircraft hangar to facilitate some filming with our crews. These videos will be used for social media, donor communication, internal comms and general promotion to showcase the work we do for Western Australia.
Rounding out the day, you'll prepare social media posts for the rest of the week, have a peek at our website to make sure it's up to date with the latest campaign and news content, check our latest EDM and social media analytics and process some invoices.
