Remote Music Internships

Typical roles for a virtual music internship

Here are a few examples of roles that our virtual music interns have taken on before:

• Artist Management

  Artist management is one of the most high-profile areas of the music industry. Successful artist managers need great communications and public relations skills, as well as negotiation and leadership abilities. Interns learn about handling media exposure and online presence, as well as building and sustaining a public image.

• Social Media

  Many remote internships in music involve social media management. Interns may create and manage publication calendars for advertising and promotional posts, as well as for individual artists and industry organizations. Other tasks may include blogging, engaging with music fans, and even executing expansion to new social media platforms.

• Public Relations

  Promoting artists, their music, and music industry events is an excellent way to learn more about the field and to meet the right people. Interns may draft press releases and coordinate with entertainment media, as well as assist in branding and other promotional projects. They develop skills in handling media inquiries, creating press kits, and garnering support for events and launches.

• Events Management

  Events are a key part of the music industry, and of the wider entertainment world. Interns may gain experience planning and executing virtual and in-person events, including budgeting and sponsorship, booking venues, and more. Music industry events come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from those publicizing individual artists to festivals and fundraisers.
