Internship - Social Media / Marketing

Internship – Social Media / Marketing

Are you creative and have a passion for music?

Are you seeking an exciting, new-age internship over the summer holiday, within an organisation that allows location independence?

If any of the above pricked your ears, allow us to introduce ourselves. We’re Scenewave, a music blog/content space that is beginning its resurgence in the Brisbane live music market. We don’t like average, nor do we believe in traditional. Heck our other job is a start-up called Fourbars which is bridging the gap for talented local musicians to find paid gigs. You will also have opportunities to gain experience with this project too!

We’re eager to push the boundaries on the type of content produced by Scenewave. As an organisation we firmly believe in nurturing and developing the skills of those involved. So let’s get into it!

About us

Scenewave: Brisbane’s top ranked music blog on Google. Having interviewed the likes of Harts, Bloc Party, Cloud Control, Foals and Local Natives – we have formally made some pretty big waves in the music scene. Scenewave has taken a back seat for the last 12 months during the non-festival season as we shifted focus to work on Fourbars. We are now gearing up for a new strategy that will be partially shaped by you. Better yet, we’re planning to remain active in the midst of the live music madness all year round!

Fourbars: A digital start-up aiming to re-invent how live music is managed and discovered. The journey so far has seen us organising gigs at the likes of The Flying Cock, Farrier Bar & Supper Club and The Limes Hotel Rooftop Bar. It sets out to solve the pains of finding gigs for artists and managing gigs for venues. There will be opportunities available to gain experience in this organisations environment.

Positions available: (see other listings for details)
