• Generate ideas for engaging and relevant content based on target audience and business objectives.

• Contribute to the production process, including scripting, shooting, editing, and post-production tasks.

• Build out content strategies that align with the visual identity of our artists and brands, alongside commissioned artwork, video and photoshoot creative execution for campaign.

• Develop and implement strategies that drive first party acquisition and engage fans, building and strengthening artist audiences in creative and innovative ways.

Digital Marketing

• Set up and manage paid digital campaigns, particularly across Facebook Ads Manager and TikTok Ads.

Platform Optimisation

• Monitor and optimize content for search and algorithms to improve visibility and organic reach.

• Stay ahead of platform trends, new technologies, algorithm changes, and creator tools. Identify new digital opportunities for artist storytelling and fan interaction across DSPs and social ecosystems. Educate the wider label on how to infuse them into artist campaigns.

• Stay on top of music and pop culture trends to ensure Sony Music’s creative output stays relevant and resonates with both emerging and established talent.

• Conduct content and social media audits and competitor analysis to identify opportunities for improvement.

Influencer Marketing
