What each level must prove
Mid-level
Accountable for running campaigns across channels and turning activity into qualified conversations.
You now run a webinar or a small event, write the landing page copy, and reach prospects directly through DMs. Instead of following a calendar, you read the funnel numbers to decide where your limited hours go.
Average score required: 71%
Content Pillar Strategy
Why: You can revise the pillars when results show one is not producing pipeline, instead of defending a plan set months ago.
Content Repurposing Workflows
Why: You can turn one webinar or long article into a week of posts, clips and emails, so one person sustains several channels without burning out.
Crisis Response in Comments
Why: You can handle a public complaint or misinformation thread alone, with a response that is consistent with the brand and does not need approval for every line.
DM Outreach & Social Selling
Why: You can open conversations with prospects by DM in a personal, compliant way and hand the interested ones to sales, rather than sending generic messages in bulk.
Webinar Production End-to-End
Why: You can run a webinar from topic to recording, including rehearsal and the follow-up email, so registrants become leads and not just a count.
On-Site Event Logistics
Why: You can handle a booth or small event on the ground, from badges and check-in to a briefing for staff, and have a fallback ready when the projector fails.
Nurture Sequence Design
Why: You can design nurture tracks per buyer stage and adjust them from unsubscribe and click signals, instead of sending the same sequence to everyone.
List Hygiene & Segmentation
Why: You can segment by behavior and set rules for sunsetting inactive contacts, so campaigns reach people who might actually buy.
Copy Structure: Hook-Body-CTA
Why: You can write a landing page or ad with a sharp hook and a single call to action, rather than a page that lists features and asks for three different things.
Conversion Rate Math
Why: You can calculate visit-to-lead and lead-to-MQL rates and say which step is the bottleneck, so you fix the page before buying more traffic.
