Let’s face it – managing a school’s social media is no small feat. Here are some pain points we know you’re probably familiar with:


  1. Content Overload: Trying to come up with new, engaging content daily can feel like you’re constantly running on a hamster wheel.
  2. Time Crunch: Between planning for the next school year, managing summer programs, and (hopefully) enjoying a bit of downtime, who has the hours to craft the perfect post every day?
  3. Consistency Woes: Staying consistent on social media is key, but it’s tough when you’re juggling a million other tasks.
  4. Engagement Pressure: Creating posts that not only inform but also engage your audience can be a tricky balance.
