  Baroness Artist Management

  Jun 2009 - Jan 2011

  Initially starting as a pet project but actually providing me with some income for a period of time, I took on management duties for a few bands which exist in the rock and metal realm. Duties included planning and implementing tours, release campaigns and promotions in conjunction with labels, personal artist duties, diary management, trend analysis across social media and budgeting. Alongside this I also often travelled the UK to personally tour manage my bands (and to make new acquaintances within the live music scene nationwide) as well as independently promoting some small capacity shows within some of London’s most popular rock venues, including an annual, all day event at Camden’s Underworld for 3 years.

  The Noise Cartel Ltd

  Radio & TV Promotions

  Initially providing maternity cover, I hit the ground running and launched myself into the curation and execution of full national and regional Radio campaigns for high profile clients such as Alice Cooper and Rammstein. Before the end of my placement it was flipped to a full time position where I have remained since and accordingly I have worked on a range of projects including but not limited to, A Day To Remember, Steel Panther, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Sonisphere Festival & Jagermeister ‘Ice Cold’ events. Duties include promoting and securing national and regional coverage across UK radio and TV, organising and attending promo days, diary management for artists on global tours, devising and implementing creative concepts for campaigns, writing press releases, updating website and social media properties for the company, creating and delivering client reports and coverage updates. Alongside my experience in radio and TV promotions I also have strong contacts and relationships with the majority of the print and online medias we also deal with. Show less
