The state’s fastest-growing music nonprofit, Hear Nebraska (HN) seeks an uber-efficient, detail-oriented, task-destroying badass to help develop and execute all of its events-related promotion and marketing.
This is a big gig, with a lot of responsibility. In 2016, HN produced 49 concerts in 16 NE cities, featuring 190 artists, and injecting $92,000 into the state’s music industry. That includes major
projects such as The Good Living Tour and Lincoln Calling. Our website content reaches 27,000 people across the world each month, and we have more than 20,000 social media followers. In
2017, we’re expanding our programming to include education and even more concerts in even more places. Each event targets a unique audience, and represents its own challenges. We’ve always had great branding to work with. Now it’s time to step up our promotional game to effectively utilize it.
This is a ground floor opportunity for someone to come in and take our work to a new level. We value sharp thinkers, self-motivators, strong communicators, multi-taskers with positive energy, honest judgment and hustle. We seek the right candidate who could commit to this position through fall 2016.
If that sounds like you, let’s talk. (Be prepared to discuss your favorite Nebraska band)
