Working hours overlap
Your day is their day shift.
Sydney (AEST)9:00am
Manila (PHT)7:00am
Manila is 2 hours behind Sydney (3 in daylight saving), so your business day is a normal day shift for them.
Can an offshore SMM create original graphics and video?
Yes. Social Media Managers use Canva, CapCut, and Adobe Express to produce platform-ready graphics and short video content.
How do we maintain brand consistency?
Provide a brand style guide and content calendar. Most SMMs are comfortable working within strict brand guidelines.
Will they respond to comments and DMs?
Yes. Community management — responding to comments, DMs, and mentions — is a standard part of the role within agreed guidelines.
How do they handle negative comments?
Escalation paths are set during onboarding. Most routine replies are handled by the SMM; sensitive or escalated comments are flagged to local management.
What reporting do they provide?
Monthly channel performance reports covering reach, engagement, follower growth, and top-performing content, aligned to your KPIs.
