What you'll be doing:
- Leading the marketing and promotion of Jazz Cafe's live music programme.
- Planning and delivering multi-channel campaigns that drive ticket sales.
- Managing paid social campaigns through Meta Business Manager.
- Creating compelling copy across email, social media, web and advertising.
- Working closely with promoters, artists and management teams.
- Briefing photographers, videographers and designers to produce outstanding creative.
- Analysing campaign performance and continually improving results.
- Keeping a close eye on music, culture and audience trends to ensure our marketing stays fresh and relevant.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
