Marketing Intern Classics & Jazz

Are you an enthusiastic, proactive, and creative student of Musicology, Dutch, or Journalism, or another suitable HBO/WO degree? Do you have an affinity with/knowledge of classical music? Then we are looking for you!

• A part-time or full-time internship in Hilversum starting from January or February 2027, for a period of at least 5 months.

• An informal working atmosphere in which you will become a full part of the relatively small Classics & Jazz team and get involved in all aspects of working at a record company.

• A unique internship in which you gain experience in a rapidly changing working environment.

• An internship allowance of € 500 gross per month based on full-time.

• Good personal guidance in achieving your competencies and support for your research.

• A working internship with room for a graduation thesis.

We are the Classics & Jazz department of Universal Music and we represent, among others, the labels Deutsche Grammophon, Decca, Verve, and Blue Note. We work for and with artists such as Gregory Porter, Norah Jones, Jacob Collier, Joep Beving, Max Richter, Lucas and Arthur Jussen, Janine Jansen, Lang Lang, Lucie Horsch, Víkingur Ólafsson, Olafur Arnalds, Ludovico Einaudi, and Andrea Bocelli.

One of the platforms we work with and on is Classics To Go, consisting of a website, social media channels, and a Spotify profile. We are currently undergoing a rebranding of this brand. Last year, we completely renewed the website www.classicstogo.nl , but the transition is not yet complete.

• Helping with the transfer of existing website content (in Dutch!) to the new WordPress environment. Checking the content both technically and substantively and supplementing it with relevant links, audio examples, and visual material.

• Creating social media content for Classics To Go. In this context, it may be that you also attend concerts and have contact with artists. The content of this part of the internship is partly dependent on your own input and creativity and will be decided in close consultation.

• If you aspire to do so, there is room to write one or more articles yourself for the website that align with the classical releases we promote. You will receive good guidance in this.

• Thinking along about/creating social media content for Blue Note and Platenzaak that relates to C&J releases.

• Helping with artist promo visits and other marketing activities such as fan events.

• The execution of C&J releases on Platenzaak.nl via Monday and/or Shopify.

• The creation of Linkfire links for releases.

• Creating banners for C&J releases on Platenzaak.

• Creating action pages in Mira.

Please note: this is a working internship, but there is room for a graduation thesis.
