Did you get hit by the polar vortex that is sweeping the nation? We’re bracing for the cold here in 
Boston, and it is undeniable, Fall is fading and Winter is coming. Luckily we’ve got lots of exciting community manager content to keep you warm! This week we shared our newest eBook – “Building a Community Roadmap” sponsored by our friends at Enterprise Hive.
This eBook is based on the finding in the State of Community Management 2014, and provides definitions, templates worksheets and a great case study to get you from 0-60 on your community roadmap. You can view the eBook here or visit Enterprise Hive to download it for free!
Stayed tuned next week as we release our latest research platform – the Community Manager Salary Survey 2014. This research aims to bring more awareness to the emerging career path in community management; detailing what community professionals can expect from different roles and what hiring managers should know to grow effective community programs.
You can join this free webinar next Tuesday where Rachel will provide a deep dive into the community manager role, and overview of the research and then download the report!
