Your role:

Warner Music U is now hiring music fans with a passion for social media marketing, promotions, and event planning for the Spring 2024 Semester as paid reps!

Interested? This should be you –

• Obsessed with music. And we don’t mean one or two genres. You’re someone who can find a favorite song or artist in any genre. You may be an “expert” in a certain style, but you easily geek out over songs or artists in another and get your friends to as well.
• As an active user on socials, especially TikTok, you are enthusiastic to use your personal accounts to create awareness and generate views for brand partnerships and priority artists across all genres.
• Discovering new music and the challenge of promoting artists early in their careers excites you, and you can think of many creative ways to do so.
• Already well-connected within your university and market and know how to utilize your connections to make things happen (find speakers for a panel, secure a location for an event, obtain co-sponsors, etc.).
• A self-starter excited about the idea of running your own projects.
• Outgoing and can (and do) talk to anyone.
• Working in the music industry after graduation is your goal.
