Good article. Outsourcing is great, It is a service we offer our clients. What we and many other social media firms do is manage their pages and tell them to get a personal account they can use to interact with prospective clients on their pages, while we submit basic posts and do the technical work. For most companies who do not have time to do it all on their own, social media firms develop strategy and are there for them to assist in building their online networks more effectively than the company can do on their own.

social media outsourcing is a fine line in business. people will not like to find out that they are following a person that isnt actually “speaking” to them. the problem lies within the amount of time available and the tha amount of time that social media takes.

Jordan,
You can and should be transparent and honest by identifying yourself and your employer. Regarding authenticity, everyone who represents a brand, cause, or issue needs to believe in what they are doing. All of us except volunteers get paid for what we do — from the CEO on down to the rank and file workers. Some are full time employees, some are part time employees, and some outsourced. Unless you are a volunteer for a cause you are an employee of an organization and your views should be judged in that light. Journalists are all employees as well and they are human beings capable of having personal agendas, politics, religions, prejudices, and phobias.

I think it is inauthentic to masquerade as someone you aren’t or to represent something that you don’t believe is worthwhile.

Devil’s Advocate Question:

One of the so-called best practices is to be transparent, honest and authentic. It would appear, at first glace, that outsourcing your social media efforts (besides strategy) is not transparent, and inauthentic.

Your thoughts?
