Accomplishments
A Public Relations Manager for a music label plays a crucial role in shaping the label's image and promoting its artists. As the PR Manager for Side Stare Music I have organised a number of events including but not limited to a month long showcase of Side Stare's Artists at The Tote in Melbourne. This event was called Side Stare Sunday's. As organiser of this event I pieced together each lineup on the Sunday's, organised all of the social media coverage, and music media coverage, and filmed and edited promotional videos of each performance.
During my years as PR Manager I also wrote and constructed countless press releases and press kits for all of our artists, organised premiere's for different releases for our artists and successfully garnered positive media coverage of both the label and our artists.
I also doubled as a Booking Agent and Merchandise officer for the label, organising Australian tours for a number of our bands, and organising merchandise and the selling of said merchandise throughout the country and internationally.
