AWAL is focused on artist and audience development at a granular level globally.

Based out of our London office and reporting to the Global Head of Audience Development, you will be working closely with our UK marketing and promo teams as well as our US-based marketing counterparts. As our resident digital expert, you will be responsible for conceiving and executing best-in-class digital marketing campaigns and initiatives working across multiple platforms to grow audiences & followers as well as maximise engagement for new and developing AWAL Recordings artists.
You are most likely already working in the music industry in a similar role with an excellent understanding of all digital platforms and abreast of current music industry developments. You also need to be highly organised and methodical, but able to bring creativity, enthusiasm, and fresh ideas to the table.

Your roster will be a mix of genres, but preference will be given to those candidates who have experience in driving Hip-Hop & R&B artists in the UK.
What You Will Do:
  • Conceive industry-leading digital marketing initiatives; social media strategies, using experience and expertise to formulate original and ground-breaking ideas.
  • Set up and manage digital advertising campaigns whilst ensuring spends are effectively maximised to achieve campaign goals.
  • Originate assets as required for social media and advertising campaigns.
  • Compile and analyse reports, using data from AWAL’s streaming analytics platform alongside third-party platforms and dashboards, and present them back to the marketing and management teams.
  • Run digital health checks at the outset of campaigns, advise clients on how to optimise their online channels and profiles.
  • Source and develop strategic relationships with influencers across social media and YouTube.
  • Drive digital best practices through the company.
  • Manage and develop relationships with digital platforms.
