Social Media Strategist & Account Manager - Music

TREND is the #1 rated music PR and social media marketing firm on Glassdoor. We prioritize employees to make them feel like family rather than part of a job, and we take pride in treating artists as individuals, not paychecks.

About TREND

TREND is an innovative entertainment PR, Spotify playlisting, and social media marketing firm based in Hollywood. Now 18 years in and still growing, we own our building on Melrose Avenue, where most team members come in three days a week (Tuesday through Thursday) and work remotely on Mondays and Fridays.

The skinny: We are one of the most sought-after music marketing firms with a two-month waiting list. 94% of clients stay beyond the duration of our initial contract. Check out our testimonials page to find out why.

The Role

We’re looking for someone with at least 2 years of professional experience who can own the client relationship from day one. You’ll be the person our artists turn to for strategy, campaign direction, and results.

You should be comfortable leading client calls, building social media strategies from the ground up, interpreting analytics to adjust course, and managing multiple campaigns simultaneously. If you can look at an artist’s social presence and immediately see what’s working, what’s not, and what to do next, this role is for you. You must have an intimate understanding of TikTok and IG Reel trends on a daily basis.

You’ll work closely with our Brand Managers who handle content creation and creative direction, so this isn’t a design or video editing role. To be clear: you will not be creating visual content. We have a dedicated creative team for that. We’re looking for someone who can think strategically, communicate clearly, and drive results. Your focus is on strategy, client communication, campaign performance, and making sure every account hits its goals. This position is overseen by our Director of Publicity and ultimately reports to our President.

Requirements
