Community managers act as a conduit between brands and customers. That can be a pretty tough place to be. Both sides tend view the Community Manager as their advocate. And maintaining a zen balance between the two parties can be, let’s say, difficult.

I’d like to point out all the great content I saw this week about CMAD and community managers themselves:

We got a look inside the mind of a community manager [infographic]

Edelman asked their community managers about what it takes

David Binkowski said thanks instead of asking for a coupon

Zooppa thanked their community manager, Josh, with an awesome Karate Kid reference

Boston, New York, Austin, Denver, London, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Narobi chimed in.

I hope you thanked your community manager. If not, mark your calendars for the fourth Monday of January in 2012.
