• Trend Spotting : Identify emerging trends, formats, and algorithm shifts to keep our pages ahead of the curve.
• On-Page Engagement : Interact with our sports community — respond to comments, host polls and quizzes, and foster meaningful fan interactions.
• Performance Reporting : Track performance metrics (reach, engagement, follower growth) and share data-driven insights to refine strategy.
