You are a social-first marketer who combines strong brand instincts with platform expertise, creative judgment, operational discipline, and analytical thinking. Working with cross-functional teams and agency partners, you'll help turn social strategy into conversations that spark participation, grow brand love, and drive measurable impact.

SUCCESS FACTORS (First 12-24 Months)
  • Social Strategy Architect: You have helped translate Torani's brand and business priorities into a clear, channel-specific social media approach. You turn consumer insights, platform behavior, cultural moments, and business goals into editorial plans, content calendars, and always-on programming that build reach, relevance, engagement, and brand love.
  • Content & Culture Catalyst: You keep Torani close to beverage culture by identifying trends early and turning them into timely, distinctive social content. You understand how to build an always-on social presence while moving quickly when culture creates an opportunity.
