Paid Digital Manager

Rise Up Selects is an independently owned, full-service live entertainment production and marketing company. We produce our own festivals and concerts, and we provide end-to-end marketing, production, and festival services to promoters and event owners across the country.

Our work spans talent buying, marketing strategy, digital advertising, ticketing, event production, sponsorship development, and food and beverage programming. Whether we're building our own signature experiences or partnering with fellow promoters, we bring the same dedication to excellence and attention to detail that has defined our success.

We are a team that lives and breathes live music. We possess the drive, tenacity, character, and accountability to get things done daily, operating independently with authority and executing together toward a common goal.

THE ROLE

The Paid Digital Manager builds and runs paid advertising campaigns across the Rise Up Selects portfolio. Our own festivals and concerts, and the client events we market under service agreements.

This is a hands-on role. You will be in the ad accounts daily, building campaigns, managing budgets, watching performance, and adjusting to protect the sales curve. You will own results on the events assigned to you and be accountable for the return those campaigns deliver.

The work moves fast and runs wide. In any given month you may be driving a reggae festival in Florida, a rock show in Salt Lake, and a country festival for an outside client, each with a different audience and a different curve.

PORTFOLIO FOCUS

• Rise Up Selects festivals, curated events, and venue properties
• External agency projects for client promoters and event owners

WHERE YOU'LL WORK

Rise Up Selects values in-person collaboration and the team cohesion that comes with it. We are an office-first company, based in Salt Lake City, where real-time communication and spontaneous idea sharing keep a fast-moving business moving.

For exceptional candidates we will consider remote arrangements, but this is the exception rather than the norm and requires strong self-direction and excellent communication.

Availability during evenings and weekends is expected around announce dates, on-sales, and event weeks. Campaigns go live when the announce goes live, and the final days before an event are when the most tickets move.

This is a full-time position.
