This role is all about spotting the spark before it becomes a wildfire and turning artist moments into cultural moments.

Bring your VIBE:
• 1–3 years of experience in social media, digital content, or music/entertainment marketing
• Strong understanding of TikTok and short-form video ecosystems, especially how music trends evolve
• Passion for music and familiarity with current artists, genres, and fan communities
• Proven ability to ideate and execute content quickly without losing quality or brand alignment
• Excellent writing skills with an ear for tone, voice, and cultural relevance
• Experience with video editing tools (CapCut, Adobe Premiere, etc.) preferred
• Ability to balance reactive content with planned campaigns
What Makes You Stand Out:

• You instinctively understand what makes fans engage, remix, and share
• You're fluent in fan culture, stan communities, and creator ecosystems
• You can translate an artist's identity into content that feels native to each platform
• You move fast, think visually, and stay curious
Success in This Role Looks Like:
• Driving viral moments that amplify artist visibility and streaming growth
