Hire Social Media Manager for Martial Arts Studios
Senior, direct, no layers

Beginners plateau and quietly leave. The first months after the beginner course are where memberships churn, because nobody tracks who has stopped progressing, who has stopped attending, and who was never invited to the next step.

A social media manager runs a business's social presence as a steady, trustworthy shop window: regular content that shows the teaching, the community, and the results, and messages answered promptly. For martial arts studios, that means prospective pupils, students, and members seeing a living, active business before they ever enquire.

That is why the engagement starts from trial sessions and beginner onboarding rather than from a generic brief. The method is routine first: agree what to post, how often, and who approves it, then run that routine consistently, because consistency is what social rewards. And because seminar bookings pull regular students out of weekly classes, so the timetable has to absorb the clash, the first measure of success is agreed on a real routine before any wider scope.

Most martial arts studios already run on a grading syllabus record, class registers by age and belt, membership billing, sparring safety logs, competition entries, and seminar bookings. The gap is rarely a missing tool: it is that the grading record, the attendance register, and the membership list live in separate places, and nobody can see at a glance who is grading-ready, who has gone quiet, and which classes are over capacity.

The work covers the platforms the audience actually uses, with a content routine the business can sustain, and community management that answers questions instead of leaving them unread.

Safeguarding for junior students, sparring safety and first-aid readiness, instructor qualifications and background checks, and insurance for contact training all sit behind the timetable. Any change that touches student records has to respect those duties, keep student data inside the studio's own systems, and keep instructors deciding grading readiness, never an automated score alone.

Grading lists decided from records instead of arguments, quiet students noticed before they cancel, sparring and class registers that match the students actually on the mats, and renewals that happen without chasing. That is the standard this engagement is measured against: a grading and retention routine the studio still uses months later, maintained by its own team with documentation handed over at the end.

The realistic outcome is a social presence that looks alive because it is, enquiries from people who already feel they know the business, and no more unanswered messages.
