Hire Social Media Managers
Social is a daily commitment, which is exactly why it is the first thing to slip when a marketing team is stretched. LebSource provides pre-vetted Lebanese social media managers who own the channel consistently rather than in bursts.
01
What a Social Media Manager does
A social media manager sets the channel strategy, runs the content calendar, writes and schedules posts, directs or produces the creative, and handles community management and replies. They report on what is actually driving reach and engagement rather than posting for its own sake.

The cost
What social media managers cost, in-house versus LebSource
Pick your country and move the slider to the gross salary you would pay locally. We do not guess the salary for you. A shipped salary table would look like research and would not be.
Your country
Local gross salary
€70,000
Employer overheads are added at 21%, the statutory minimum for the country you selected.
In-house
€84,700
per year, salary plus 21% employer overheads
Through LebSource
€48,279
per year, all-in, for the same capability
You keep
€36,421
a year, per person, up to 43% of the loaded cost of the equivalent local hire. That is roughly €3,035 a month back, or the budget for a second hire every 2 people you take on.
What this leaves out, in both directions: recruitment fees and the cost of the role sitting unfilled (which count against hiring locally), and onboarding ramp and management time (which apply either way). The full calculator includes the vacancy cost and lets you model multiple hires. Real pricing depends on the specific role and seniority. This is an illustration, not a quote.
FAQ
Hiring social media managers with LebSource
Will they produce the creative as well?
Many can produce simple graphics and short video edits. For heavier production we would pair them with a designer rather than stretching the role.
Can they reply to comments and messages on our behalf?
Yes, within response guidelines you agree at the start. Community management is usually where a lot of the channel's value sits.
Which time zone do they publish and monitor in?
They work your European business hours, so posting and monitoring land during your audience's working day.
