Media & Publicity Intern

Unison Media is an award-winning, market-leading music communications agency based in New York City, with a new vision of how classical music, opera, and the performing arts can be promoted. Our work ranges from publicity and branding to websites, social media and digital marketing, with clients such as Gustavo Dudamel, Wynton Marsalis, Lawrence Brownlee, Jeremy Denk, Conrad Tao, the JACK Quartet, Warner Classics and many more. We also run a nonprofit concert series, Death of Classical, that has been featured everywhere from The New York Times to NPR to Vogue. 

We’re looking for a part-time intern (a few days a week; hours flexible) to assist with and gain expertise in all aspects of our work, from social media strategy and content creation to video editing, building websites, and researching and pitching media. We want someone who can help us tell the stories of our artists in a way that will catch the eyes of the internet.
