Event Promoter – Freelance / Casual (Project-Based)

About Us

Join the promotional crew behind high-profile, one-off events in 2025 like the Australian DMC DJ Championships. We're looking for experienced promoters with strong social media presence and deep roots in Sydney's nightlife scene—people who are out regularly, connected to venues, and can generate real buzz.

What You'll Do

  • Promotion & Outreach: Execute in-person outreach at Sydney venues, clubs, and nightlife spots while contributing to online hype to drive ticket sales and awareness.
  • Social Media Activation: Use your own networks and create engaging content—posts, stories, Reels—that boost engagement, tag the event, and fuel FOMO.
  • Community Influence: Leverage your existing followers and nightlife connections to amplify event visibility and expand reach.
  • Sales & Reporting: Track ticket conversions and social media performance; adjust strategies for maximum impact.
  • Team Leadership: Mentor junior promoters and collaborate with event and marketing teams to streamline operations.

Who You Are

  • At least 2 years' experience in event promotion and social media marketing.
  • Large and active social media presence across Instagram, TikTok, or similar platforms.
  • Actively involved in the Sydney nightlife scene—you regularly attend events, parties, and know the venues and communities.
  • Proven track record of ticket-driving campaigns and measurable social media results.
  • A genuine interest in DJ culture is highly desirable. DJ experience or past work in nightlife/music scenes is a major plus.
  • A polished communicator, both online and in-person, able to pivot between strategic planning and frontline promotion.
  • Flexible for weekend/evening event commitments.

Pay & Rewards

  • Base Rate: At least $24.95/hr casual (Grade 1 under the Amusement, Events & Recreation Award) Jora
  • Commission: 10–20% of each ticket you directly sell.
  • Bonuses: Team-performance incentives linked to ticket and content KPIs.
  • Contract Type: Casual / Freelance / Subcontract—strictly project-based.

Perks & Benefits

  • VIP Event Access: Complimentary VIP entry to all events you help promote, plus priority or backstage access.
  • Exclusive Experiences: Access to VIP lounges, meet-and-greets, and premium backstage experiences, plus complimentary refreshments.
  • Networking: Collaborate with DJs, industry influencers, and media. Build your personal brand and event reputation.

Why You'll Love It

  • Creative freedom to design social media campaigns and activations.
  • Build your portfolio with high-profile music event credits.
  • Be front-and-centre on event day.
  • Work on high-energy music events that feed your passion for nightlife and performance.
  • Be part of a high-energy team during a prestigious music event in Sydney's nightlife scene.

How to Apply

Send us:

  • A summary of 2–3 campaigns with demonstrated ticket-driving or social media success.
