WHO WE ARE:

Gigzolo is a new internet startup helping event producers book professional, hand-picked entertainment across the country, from DJs to interactive sushi exhibitions to breakdancers… basically any act that captivates an audience. We're focused on creating more job opportunities for creative people, and making art and live entertainment more accessible for everyone.

We are looking for an individual who loves studying trends in live events and production, who loves engaging in the arts and the events community and who is willing to onboard artists as a member of Gigzolo's artist engagement team!

The Gigzolo artist community is made up of full-time, professional artists, craftsmen, and event production professionals at the top of their craft. That said:

• We don't care about Facebook likes.
• We couldn't give two craps about Instagram followers.
• We value talent, creativity, and professionalism, not hype.

To expand our efforts, we're looking for an elite group of talented individuals endowed with a critical eye to serve as tastemakers in the most comprehensive attempt to classify entertaining event acts in US history.

What is an entertaining act you say?

Literally anything used in a live event to amaze guests. A few examples: Puppy office crashes (we actually send puppies to surprise folks at the office) Onsite “hipster” dumpling making class (think bacon cheeseburger dumplings) Virtual reality surfing exhibition (gives new meaning to ‘surfing the web’) Aerial bartenders (look it up, they’re awesome)

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• You'll be forging relationships and negotiating deals with creative vendors
• You'll work hand-in-hand with our internal curation team to identify, vet, and onboard hundreds of event acts and artists across the nation.

CURATION is one of the most important facets of our selection process, and we are looking to YOU to help us out.

• You'll separate the "Okay" from the Good.
• Then separate the Good from the GREAT.
• You'll fight for artists and creative acts you love.

In Addition:

• You'll spend tons of time speaking to creative acts we've already identified, making relationships, and onboarding them to the platform. -You'll help reinvent the way we showcase these acts on our site, and how we offer them opportunities (we’re currently redesigning and would love your input!)
• You'll work remotely, but have weekly contact with fellow team members across the nation, as well as HQ in New York.

You should have an interest in entertainment BEYOND simply music. Our clients care about ALL interactive experiences (Aerialists, Exotic Car Racing Experiences, and Interactive Sushi Exhibitions). In addition, you will understand why and how Gigzolo works, and be excited to tell others about us!

THE COMPANY:

Gigzolo is revolutionizing the way event professionals book handpicked, professional artists (DJs, musicians and soon, photographers) by showing clear pricing and availability for every artist. In minutes, planners can select, chat with, and book artists directly through our platform.

OUR TEAM:

We’re artists and admirers. We're ambitious, focused, intellectual minds with undeniably creative hearts. We're constantly trying to find a balance between being Type-A and wanting to go play outside.
