Ministry of Sound

ABOUT US Ministry of Sound opened in 1991 in a disused bus garage in a forgotten corner of South London. It was the first nightclub in the UK to have a 24-hour licence, didn't serve alcohol and featured an earth-shaking sound system in a specially constructed dance box. We went on to become the world's largest independent record company (now with Sony), and stage giant dance events, including one for 50,000 people at the o2 to celebrate the Millennium. As a business we don't take ourselves too seriously, like to laugh and have fun, but we have high standards, a relentless attention to detail and the continuous improvement of our product as we work hard as a team. We hate cliché, doing things the way others do and continuously seek to differentiate our brands and products almost as a point of pride. THE ROLE We are looking for a skilled and driven Marketing & Promotions Manager to lead the promotional strategy for our venue. This role is central to increasing brand visibility, driving ticket sales, and ensuring our events remain culturally relevant and well-attended. You will oversee the development and execution of marketing campaigns, manage content production, and maintain strong relationships with third-party promoters. Working closely with the programming and bookings team, you'll ensure that promotional efforts are aligned with event line-ups and announcements. You will be responsible for managing ticketing platforms and analysing performance data to optimise sales. Content creation will be a key part of your role, including organising shoots, briefing external creatives, and maintaining a consistent brand presence across digital and print assets. You'll also lead our digital marketing efforts, managing social media channels and working with external agencies to deliver paid media campaigns that drive engagement and conversions. A strong understanding of youth and nightlife culture is essential, along with experience in managing brand communications and community engagement. You'll be expected to build partnerships with local creatives, media outlets, and cultural institutions, and regularly attend events to stay connected with our audience and gather feedback. The role also involves overseeing out-of-home marketing activities and managing street teams at external events. To succeed in this role, you should have at least two to three years' experience in nightlife, live music, festivals, or a similar entertainment setting, with a proven ability to deliver ticket sales and grow online engagement. You'll need excellent project management skills, the ability to multitask under pressure, and familiarity with tools such as Canva, Adobe Suite, Meta Business Manager, Mailchimp, and Google Analytics. Strong communication and negotiation skills are important, especially when working with promoters and suppliers, and flexibility to work evenings and weekends is required. Additional experience working with artists, agents, and record labels is desirable, as is a network within the local music scene. Skills in photography, videography, or content editing would be a plus, along with knowledge of CRM and loyalty marketing strategies. An understanding of AI tools and how they can support marketing and promotions would also be beneficial.
