Music Publicist in Basildon

Are you a storyteller? Do you have a contact list full of tastemakers and a playlist for every mood? At Lime Tree Music, we don’t just send press releases; we tell artists’ stories and build connections between the global country music community, with campaigns across Germany, Benelux, the UK, Ireland, and more.

We’re looking for a creative, high-energy Music Publicist to join our hybrid, UK-based team. Whether you’re a seasoned pro with deep UK & European media ties or a rising star with an unbreakable work ethic, we want your voice at our table.

At Lime Tree Music, you won’t just be working on ‘accounts’ - you’ll be driving the European narrative for some of the biggest international stars in music, along with some of Nashville’s most exciting new talent. Leading campaigns for award-winning, chart-topping artists, from major labels to independent releases, your work will put you at the heart of Europe’s most exciting musical shift. If you want to see your artists on the main stages of C2C, BST Hyde Park, and more, this is where you belong.

The Vibe

We are a ‘human-first’ agency, placing value on ‘outside-the-box’ thinking. We work hybrid/remotely, but we keep the connection alive with frequent collaborative sessions at our Central London co-working space, so you get the flexibility of home and the buzz of the city.

Responsibilities

• Craft the narrative: Develop and execute viral-ready PR campaigns across UK/European print and online media.
• Bridge the gap: Use your personal "little black book" of influencers, podcasters and editors to land high-impact features.
• Be the face: Represent Lime Tree Music at media days, live events, and high-profile promo shoots.
• Pitch for airplay: Get new tracks into the hands (and ears) of Europe's top radio stations.
• Shape the future: Help us expand into new international markets and untapped media landscapes.

Are You The One?

• You’re a pro: You’ve likely spent time in a mainstream music or entertainment PR role, with a proven track record of successful campaigns.
• You’re a connector: You love meeting people, building relationships, and ‘selling’ a story you believe in.
• You’re local-ish: You’re ready to hit London once a week for strategy sessions and team get-togethers.
• You’re ambitious: You want a place that offers genuine career development and the chance to grow alongside the agency.

Bonus Points: If you have a second European language, this is a huge plus as we continue to grow internationally.

Why Lime Tree Music?

• Passion for music: The chance to work with artists you love. If you’re a fan of Country and Americana music, our clients include some of Nashville’s most recognisable names.
• Hybrid freedom: Work where you’re most productive.
• Growth mindset: We invest in our people with dedicated training and career pathways.
• Impact: In our small team, your ideas don’t get lost in bureaucracy - they get executed.

The Toolkit (Qualifications)

• The track record: Proven experience in a mainstream PR role. You have a portfolio of earned media coverage that you’re proud of, and we want to see it.
• The network: A solid grasp of the European media landscape. You know who to call at the national newspapers and which niche blogs are currently breaking the next big thing.
• The broadcast edge: Existing contacts in radio & TV will move you to the front of the queue.
• The hybrid hustle: You’re a self-starter who thrives working remotely but brings 100% energy to our Zoom meetings and in-person London sessions.
• Tech savvy: You’re a pro with AI/LLM tools like Google Gemini and ChatGPT; proficient in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides) and can navigate PR tools like Muck Rack or Cision in your sleep.
• Communication mastery: Your writing is sharp, persuasive, and error-free. You can pitch a story to a new journalist contact just as easily as you can write a formal client report.
• Education: A degree in PR, Communications, or Music Business is preferred, but your real-world results are what matter most.

The Encore (Your Benefits)

• Time to recharge: 28 days of holiday to ensure you stay creative and refreshed.
• A workspace with perks: Access to our exclusive private member’s club and workspace in Central London. Think networking, high-end amenities, and a great atmosphere.
• Growth track: We don't just want you to work for us; we want you to grow with us.
• Future proofing: An employer pension contribution to keep your ‘long-game’ on track.
