SOCIAL MEDIA VIRTUAL ASSISTANT APPLICATION

Three Example Clients

🍕 JOE’S PIZZA SHACK — Joe’s family-owned pizza parlor is 30 years old and proud of it. They specialize in New York-style pies, but are located in Philadelphia, PA. Joes likes to post local news articles and events in the area. He wants his caption tone to be funny and happy, not at all serious or professional. He has asked us to stay away from any social issues or hot topics, even if they’re local.

🎙 JIMENEZ MARKETING AGENCY — The Jimenez brother-sister team have been in business for just a few months and are trying to build their clientele using social media. They provide all facets of marketing, like SEO, Facebook ads, blogs, and more. They want each post to include valuable marketing information and a call-to-action. They have specifically asked us to avoid information that tells someone how to do their own marketing. Their tone of voice should be very professional.

💇 JOYFUL SALON & SPA — Joyful specializes in haircutting and color, waxing, facials, and massage. They sell their own organic product line and would like us to avoid other products in our articles. They want their posts to be fresh, colorful, and feminine. They would like to include a strong call-to-action inviting people to comment or “like” each post.
