An exciting and flexible work experience opportunity has arisen with a venue/record label based in London.

They are looking for 1-2 people. The successful candidate(s) will work with the label artist(s) on a promotional front generally and also at live events.

Conventional street team work is a part of this role (promotion, email sign ups, selling merchandise) which will also encompass working within the label and venue to develop the promotions, putting forward your own creative ideas and possibly more depending on the passion of the individual and the success of the person in this role. You would be working on release campaigns with the label giving lots of dynamic input.

There is a lot of emphasis on developing promotional and management skills within this role where you will work with a small self-motivated team.

This opportunity would suit someone based in London who is looking to expand their music interests into promotions / live sector and who is not afraid of trying new challenges and willing to make the role their own. A passion for rock/pop is ideal and it would be a perfect starting place for someone looking to develop their skills in this industry.

A good level of English, maths and I.T. are required.

This will be an unpaid position initially but expenses might be covered. As your role increases so will your income potential.

Please send your CV and covering letter to phil@neonstreet.co.uk by Monday 30th March. This will be forwarded to the label, who will be in touch if they would like to meet you.

Good luck!
