Awful Management - Marketing Academy Music Group Employee Review

Pros

Venue staff are great, the real backbone of the organisation.

Cons

Their idea of Marketing is mindlessly reposting assets from promotors and bands to social. Half the marketing dept can be replaced by AI at any point as work is mindless and repetitive. Office culture is more important than the work. The “culture” is slow with many people doing a single job. Hard work is overlooked, it’s more important to “fit in”. Large meetings every week, over 20 people per meeting meaning everyone tunes out until their turn to speak and no time for discussion. Grown men having to sit on the floor due to no room in the meetings. Meetings are used for an info dump for the benefit of the head of marketing. Never a back and forth of ideas/creativity/support/feedback.

Pros

Good perks if you like live music. Good benefits if they were made more accessible and advertised rather than sit on an outdated intranet.

Cons

Literally made me hate live music. The mid pay, negative competitive culture and lack of management skills are justified with "this is the music industry, we're all so lucky to work in it".
