  • Community Managers and Personal Branding in Social Media
    “I Work in Social”: Community Managers and Personal Branding in Social Media by Jenna Jacobson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Jenna Jacobson 2017 “I Work in Social”: Community Managers and Personal Branding in Social Media Jenna Jacobson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Welcome to a world of networking, hustling, coffee, cupcakes, and cocktails; a world where social media is not only an interest, but a way that people meet, become friends, make money, and stay connected. Here, social media is both a passion and a profession, but there is also an unspoken tension. My research analyzes how social media managers—those who manage online communities and create content across digital platforms—work in social media (referring to the work practice of social media managers), and also do the work of social media (referring to the curation of their personal brand using social media to leverage a strategic advantage in the job market). Using a mixed method approach, including three years of fieldwork in Toronto and semi- structured interviews with social media professionals, this dissertation analyzes the “social media scene” and identifies elements of the changing landscape of work and self- presentation in an age of social media. The research examines the practice of community ii management across various industries, including marketing agencies, entertainment, not- for-profit, education, government, telecommunications, retail, and sports. The dissertation uncovers an emerging feminization of social media within the profession. I argue that social media management represents the next iteration of the devaluation of women’s work in the tech industry, mirroring the history of women’s labour in technology.

This year’s event – staged virtually – was a tremendous success. Taking place on Wednesday, October 21st, it was truly a privilege to honor the terrific women leaders within the Los Angeles business community. The awards program was jump-started by a powerful keynote discussion between UBS Wealth Management’s Jane TSchwartzberg and Jennifer Povlitz. After having a chance to listen to their important message on “Owning Your Worth”, we moved into the celebration. With more than 350 nominations this year, our judges were faced with a lot of difficult decisions. In the end, we narrowed this impressive field down to five Finalists, and ultimately, one Honoree in each of six award categories: Entrepreneur of the Year, CEO of the Year, Executive of the Year, Community Impact Advocate of the Year, Rising Star of the Year, and Volunteer of the Year. Many thanks to our sponsors, who helped to reimagine what this event could look like. We took the event from an in-person half-day forum and completely transitioned it into a three-part all-digital series which included a total of six panels, a private champagne toast, a keynote conversation and awards ceremony.
