Media and Marketing Artist Advisor

The idea at the heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is simple: anyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them is welcome. No individual or committee determines who can or cannot perform at the Fringe.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society was founded by artists to nurture and uphold the Fringe's values of inclusivity, experimentation and imagination. We exist to support, advise and encourage everyone who wants to participate in the Fringe, provide information and assistance to audiences, and celebrate the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world.

We are seeking to appoint an experienced individual to the position of Media and Marketing Artist Advisor (reporting to the Artist Development Manager). Leading up to and during the Fringe, the Artist Development team provide professional development advice to artists to help them make the most of their time at the Fringe.

The Fringe Society also has a media centre for journalists, helping the press to find what they are looking for without recommending or making value judgements about specific shows. The Media and Marketing Artist Advisor role sits within the Artist Development team, advising artists on potential marketing activity and media engagement, while working closely with the Media Office to stay up to date with Fringe news stories and media outlets who are in town.
