Very broadly speaking, and with much generalisation:Digital Marketing Managers develop strategies to use the Internet to promote the brand. They generally have a broad understanding of the opportunities that the various online tools and platforms can afford.Social Media Managers work out the tactics required to make that strategy happen for the brand. They have a deep understanding of how to make the most of the various online tools and platforms available and what's required to make those tactics work.In the context of the other two roles, the Community Managers "implement" the tactics, but it's more complicated than that.Community Managers can immerse themselves into the communities that are being reached out to, they can detect and understand the subtle dynamics that are present in online communities. A community manager has to be two people: they represent the brand to the community and they represent the community to the brand. So, it's more than just implementation.
