About Us

Join the promotional crew behind high-profile, one-off events in 2025 like the Australian DMC DJ Championships.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
