We’re in week two of the 7th annual State of Community Management research survey and contributions are rolling in.

I cannot stress enough how important this research is – and how valuable your contributions are to us, and to the community industry as a whole. The larger sample size we collect the deeper the insights we can provide – free – to you, and community manager around the world!

Have 20 minutes? START THE SURVEY HERE

As a thank you for every participants time their next coffee is on us or you can donate $5 to No Kid Hungry/Share Our Strength.

As a surprise to all participants we are giving away a weekly community prizeCMGR Essentialspack every Friday for the duration of the survey period (eight weeks!) This week’s prize is of four things we consider to be community manager essentials:

  • Our favorite felt tips pens for color coding content calendars, taking notes and doodling “I ♥  CMGRs” in your notebook
  • A giant Nalgene so you can stay hydrated while battling trolls
  • An extra set of earbuds for blasting tunes or chatting with your moderators
  • A drink warmer for those times you for make a cup of coffee and then get distracted – at least that coffee will stay warm!

This week’s winner is Jay Graff, Community Strategist at JM Family Enterprise!
