Hey There Jonathan. We may not know the deeper purpose of that Social Media Consultant but.. for my own opinion. Social Media Consultant is the group of people who are studying about the needs of the people in everyday life, in business, in school and even their homes that will be connected to what so called Social Medias that can make their lives easier and faster. Even the communication, transferring of data and more. I think they are also the ones who suggests or give advices to the developer of Major Social Medias. Just a thought.

You've got the Facebook page, the Twitter feed, the LinkedIn account, the YouTube channel. But why? Is it because your competitors do, or because these tools are helping your business connect with others in a meaningful, productive way? Whether you run a for-profit business or want to further the cause of a non-profit organization, social media tools can help you spread the word, connect with customers and gather valuable feedback. But even though no two strategies will be exactly alike, there is a basic formula to follow.
