As AWAL UK Marketing Manager, you will for lead marketing strategy & initiatives for a wide range of AWAL’s artists ranging from emerging and developing artists to some already established acts.

You will have 2-3 years’ experience as a marketing manager, running a range of artist campaigns at a front line label or equivalent and be confident planning, budgeting and executing creative campaign strategy. You will have a proven track record of delivering 360 artist campaigns including both charting records as well as emerging artist development projects. You will be a digital native with a digital-first approach to campaigns, as well as have a proven track record in putting together a full campaign around a suite of physical formats for album projects.

You will love working exceptionally closely with artists and be someone with real vision and ideas on how to solidify an artist proposition as they push for cultural, commercial and critical success. As a hands-on marketer, you will be adept at creating, editing, and distributing compelling content across all major social media platforms and channels.
