What your executive assistant handles

Concrete tasks our team takes on — not vague promises.

Content Calendar Planning

Your EA builds and maintains a monthly content calendar in tools like Notion or Trello, mapping posts to your campaigns, promotions, and key dates so nothing falls through the cracks.

Post Scheduling and Publishing

Using platforms like Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later, your EA schedules approved content across channels at optimal times, keeping your feed active without requiring your daily attention.

Caption Writing and Hashtag Research

Your EA drafts on-brand captions and researches relevant hashtags for each platform, reducing the back-and-forth of writing from scratch and improving organic reach.

Community Engagement and Comment Monitoring

Your EA monitors comments, DMs, and mentions across platforms, responding to routine inquiries and flagging anything that needs your direct input — so your audience feels heard without consuming your time.

Basic Graphic Coordination in Canva

Your EA creates or resizes social graphics using your brand templates in Canva, ensuring visual consistency across posts without requiring a dedicated designer for every asset.

Performance Reporting

Your EA pulls monthly analytics from native platform dashboards or tools like Sprout Social, compiling reach, engagement, and follower data into a concise report so you can make informed decisions.

How the handoff works

After onboarding, your dedicated Client Success Manager works with you to build a Strategic Delegation Plan that documents your brand voice, posting frequency, target platforms, and approval preferences before your EA touches anything. In the first week, your EA typically audits your existing accounts, gets access to your scheduling tool, and drafts the first batch of content for your review. Most clients settle into a rhythm of weekly or biweekly content approvals via a shared doc or Slack, with the EA handling everything in between. The goal is a handoff that feels low-maintenance from day one, not a new management task.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the EA post directly to my accounts, or do I need to approve everything first?

That depends entirely on your preference, and it's something you'll define during onboarding. Some clients give their EA direct publishing access for routine posts and only review campaign content; others prefer to approve every post before it goes live. Your Strategic Delegation Plan documents exactly where the approval gates are.

What if I need both writing and graphic design for my social content?

Trusty Oak Specialists can handle caption writing and Canva-based graphic production using your existing brand templates. If your needs require original illustration or advanced design work outside of templates, your Client Success Manager can help you assess whether a dedicated design resource makes more sense.

How many hours per month does social media management typically require?

It varies by platform count, posting frequency, and how much engagement your accounts generate, but most clients allocating social media work to a Trusty Oak EA use between 10 and 20 hours per month. Your Client Success Manager can help you estimate based on your specific scope before you commit.

Can an EA manage social media for multiple brands or locations?

Yes — EAs regularly manage multiple accounts under one client, which is common for franchises, agencies, and businesses with distinct product lines. You'll want to document brand voice and guidelines for each account during onboarding so the EA can work independently without constant clarification.
