Renegade is currently looking for a dynamic new personality to join our expanding London-based team.
Renegade is the UK’s market-leading retail, student and club promotions company, working primarily across the leisure, hospitality and retail sectors. With an unrivalled reputation in the music industry, it’s the go-to company for all the major labels and many other independents for the promotion of their new releases across our target marketplace. The company works with both brand new and established artists through a wide variety of genres.
Renegade is generally involved in the promotion of circa 50% of the UK Top 40 singles at any one time, and our roster boasts some of the most exciting talent in the world. Our other business interests include artist management, background music provision and music branding partnerships.
This is an ideal first position for someone especially interested in the marketing and promotion aspects of the music industry and who is keen to get their first step on the ladder, with full training given. It could also work for someone who has completed an internship at a record label or similar. While there are genuine opportunities to progress internally, many of our former team have reached senior jobs within the music industry, with this position being a great way to get a wide understanding of how different record labels operate.
Role Duties:
• Generally assisting the Directors and Campaign Managers of the company in daily tasks
• Liaising with record companies to collect assets for promotional campaigns
• Servicing new music to our extensive database of contacts via our online platform
• Promoting releases to DJs, student media contacts and brand music programmers
• Arranging interviews and other activities with student radio and press contacts
• Reporting to our clients at record labels on the progress of their campaign
• Identifying new projects at record labels and helping bring new business into the company
You’ll…
• Live, work and breathe music, and have strong knowledge across multiple genres and current trends
• Have already started to build a network of contacts in the music industry, especially ideally those working in marketing and promotion at the major labels
• Have a genuine interest in the areas we cover, with the ability to learn quickly
• Attend gigs and club nights regularly
• Be versatile and adaptable to a wide range of duties
• Have a positive ‘can do, will do’ attitude and a burning ambition to advance your own career, as well as help us take our business to the next level
• Be able to work both as a team player and independently at home or remotely
• Be confident and knowledgeable in meetings with clients and contacts
• Understand the need for close attention to detail in all aspects of our work
• Always be looking for ways to improve what we do as a company, upgrade our services and never be complacent
• Be trustworthy, loyal and discreet and able to work under pressure and to deadlines
• Be personable, with great communication skills, a sense of humour and be able to fit easily into our small friendly and sociable team
• Have a good knowledge of software packages (we use MS for Mac) and social media skills across all main platforms. Experience in Adobe and Squarespace also an advantage
General hours of work are 9.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday, based in our central London office. We are also open to part time hours or job sharing.
Salary is negotiable and dependent on experience. We will be interviewing our shortlist in December, with the position starting from January/February 2023.
