- Guide tone, messaging, and storytelling consistency across all campaigns.
- Push creative boundaries to make AltSchool feel aspirational, fun, and relatable.
Content Creation & Oversight
- Lead learner-driven content: testimonials, docuseries, reels, AMAs, and BTS storytelling.
- Work with the design and innovation team to ensure content is both visually engaging and on-brand.
- Oversee UGC campaigns and empower learners/ambassadors to create content.
Community Building
- Grow and manage AltSchool peer circles, ambassadors, and communities.
- Build strong online/offline communities that encourage interaction, trust, and advocacy.
- Develop ambassador and peer-leadership programs that fuel organic acquisition.
Engagement & FOMO Campaigns
- Design campaigns that spark FOMO and learner pride (e.g., challenges, content takeovers, gamified campaigns).
- Create sticky engagement loops that increase participation, sharing, and advocacy.
- Turn learners into storytellers who amplify AltSchool’s impact.
Events & Activations
- Plan and run social-first offline and online events (hackathons, webinars, career meetups).
- Integrate learner stories into events to deepen emotional connection.
- Partner with grassroots communities, NGOs, and hubs to scale reach.
