March 2, 2016 By Jim Storer

community managers podcast - Aaron BuchsbaumWelcome to the latest episode in our community management podcast series, “Conversations with Community Managers” featuring Aaron Buchsbaum, Community Manager at The World Bank.

Join TheCR’s founder and principal, Jim Storer and director of marketing, Shannon Abram as they chat with community managers from a variety of industries about a variety of community topics, including:

  1. What’s your best advice for someone just starting out in Community Management?
  2. What are your best practices for increasing community engagement?
  3. How can you survive the zombie apocalypse? (Ok – they might not ALL be community questions…)

Episode #39 features Aaron Buchsbaum, Community Manager at The World Bank. Join us as we chat about how to prioritize a packed to-do list, his perspective on the rise of the community manager as a digital ombudsman, and how to engage with reluctant community members.

About Conversations with Community Managers*
To better reflect the diverse conversations our podcast covers we’ve changed the name of our long-running series to Community Conversations.
Community Conversations highlights short conversations with some of the smartest minds in the online community and social business space, exploring what they’re working on, why they do what they do, and what advice they have for you.
These episodes are a great way to begin to understand the nuances of community strategy and management.
Each episode is short (usually less than 30 minutes) and focuses on one community management professional.
