Electronic Music Campaign Specialist

Posted last month

Summary

OVERVIEW I am the manager of an established DJ and producer with a substantive international career history currently executing a full re-launch in the Melodic Techno, Progressive House, Tech House, and Techno space. Melodic Techno is the primary genre. I am looking for an experienced electronic music campaign specialist — freelancer or small boutique operation — who is already embedded in this specific world. This is not a general music marketing role. If your experience is primarily in pop, hip hop, indie, or commercial EDM this is not the right fit. If you also cover social media content creation and management for music artists in addition to the campaign functions below, that is a significant advantage and we would like to know that in your application. The ability to consolidate both roles into one provider is something we would strongly consider. WHAT WE NEED I am looking for someone who can cover one or more of the following functions. Please specify clearly in your application exactly which of these you cover and provide documented evidence for each. PRESS AND EDITORIAL PITCHING Outreach and placement in Resident Advisor, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Data Transmission, When We Dip, Beatportal, XLR8R, and equivalent outlets. This means securing actual premieres, reviews, interviews, and features — not generic press release distribution. Named contacts and documented placements in these specific outlets are required. RADIO PLUGGING Dedicated campaign targeting BBC Radio 1 specialist shows, Ibiza Global Radio, Rinse FM, Sirius XM BPM, and equivalent electronic music radio programs specifically in Melodic Techno and Progressive House. Evidence of actual radio plays secured in these genres is required. BEATPORT EDITORIAL PITCHING Direct relationships with Beatport's genre curators and editorial team specifically for Melodic Techno, Progressive House, Tech House, and Techno. Experience with Beatport chart positioning and the submission process including metadata, genre tagging, and lead times. Evidence of Beatport chart results for artists in these genres is required. SPOTIFY PLAYLIST PITCHING Independent curator outreach and editorial playlist pitching specifically within Melodic Techno, Progressive House, Tech House, and Techno. Named curator relationships and documented playlist placements in these specific genres are required. WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IN YOUR APPLICATION Do not apply with a generic pitch. I will only respond to applications that address the following specifically: Which of the four functions above do you cover and what is your documented experience in each? Provide named examples of artists or releases you have worked on in Melodic Techno, Progressive House, Tech House, or Techno with specific outcomes — chart positions, named press placements, named DJ support, radio plays, or playlist placements. Which specific outlets, curators, radio shows, or editorial contacts do you have active relationships with in these genres? What does your fee structure look like per release campaign or per month? What does your reporting structure look like — how often and what specific metrics do you report on? Do you also cover social media content creation and management for music artists? If yes please describe what that covers and share relevant examples. IMPORTANT We are running an aggressive release schedule — one release every 6 to 8 weeks. Every release requires a full campaign executed properly. We measure results against specific KPIs and expect regular reporting. If you cannot demonstrate genre-specific experience with documented evidence please do not apply. This is a long term engagement for the right person. We are not looking for a one-off trial. We are building a team and the right candidate becomes a key part of it. Budget is negotiable based on scope and demonstrated experience. Please include your rates in your application.
