I love having this back-up system so that I can make sure I'm not making any mistakes, but also so that they can see that I am doing a good job and trust me to maybe execute things on my own down the line.

After that, it's all natural. Great points Mike. I think to a point, SM can be taught. After that, it’s all natural.

As a 27-year old Director of Social Media at a PR agency, I can say that having several years of nuts-and-bolts PR work under my belt has definitely helped me when using social media as a communications platform. For brands to put their youngest person on their team as the #1 person in their social media team, they really are doing a disservice to the brand and the employee. Communications is NOT rocket science, but there is skill involved...especially that which comes with experience. You make a terrific point about having it be a collaborative team effort. Your SM person shouldn't get that job just because they grew up with a cell phone, but rather due to a combination of their SM acumen, brand knowledge and communication skills.
