A Day in the life of a Content Specialist

• At 8 am, you log in to your Solarity laptop and review feedback received last week from Google Reviews, member surveys and branch interactions. You identify several members you want to call to learn more. They could be great prospects for a member story!
• You sip a cup of coffee and brainstorm blog post headlines to pitch to the team in preparation for the Marketing huddle at 9 am.
• The team's discussion of a new product launch places a few deliverables on your plate: landing page content for the website; staff talking points about the new product; a script for an explainer video and a sprinkling of social media posts.
• You login to Salesforce Marketing Cloud and draft two emails that will be used for an A/B test of subject lines and compelling calls to action.
• After lunch you ponder two themes you will propose to the team for your content plan for next month. You write an SEO article for the member newsletter and website and confirm the video interview you have scheduled with a member who agreed to tell their story about financing their RV with Solarity.
• In the afternoon, you make 10 calls to members to learn more about their positive experiences and invite them to record a video interview for use on social media and the website. Two members have really compelling stories, and you're excited to delve deeper during your interview. You start drafting the questions you want to ask to get them to open up about how Solarity made a difference in their lives.
• It was a good day. You are looking forward to directing the video shoot for the member interview next week. You log off and realize Monday is a federal holiday; it'll be a three-day weekend!
