Perks;
The MuseBox works with loads of different bands, nightclubs etc. We often get free tickets and guest-lists spots to local shows, so when these are available, our interns are also in the mix for these and other great events we participate in. You are also welcome and encouraged to attend weekly marketing meetings where you will learn the intricacies of marketing a music campaign through our lively, results-driven discussions. Avery high percentage of our interns go on to land jobs (either at The MuseBox or elsewhere in the music industry.) Consider this a great paid-learning-curve opportunity for yourself.
If you’re interested in any of the above positions, in either NYC or Toronto, hit us up at jaz@themusebox.net! If you’re not sure which role may be right for you but are still passionate about working with great bands and great people, get in touch anyway and let’s get to know each other.
