Blastbeat is a not for profit, social enterprise that focuses on teaching teenagers in Ireland and and the UK the importance of social entrepreneurship, using music as a medium. Schools form “MMCs”-Multimedia and Music Companies, and they must appoint a CEO, Sales and Marketing Manager, PR Manager etc. Their core goal is to run a music event in their local area, and to do this, they are required to submit business documentation such as business plans, financial plans and reports, event management plans and PR plans. In my role as Munster Regional Manager, I oversaw the young entrepreneurs, advising the team on how to write such plans and documents, and ultimately helping them achieve their goal of running an event in their area. The other side of my job was event manager. Over the four years I worked with Blastbeat I organized over 200 music events, including marquee events in large venues in Ireland and the UK. It was my responsibility to draw up a strategy that could be implemented at every event to ensure it's smooth running and successful execution as well as being in charge of all promotions.I was part of the team that secured a substantial amount of investment funding from Coca-Cola and the Irlanda Group, and I was part of the marketing team that had to implement stated objectives using both traditional and online marketing functions within the budget provided.MarketingSalesEvent ManagementTeam LeaderSocial Media MarketingSocial Media ManagementCustomer SupportCustomer Service
