Marketing Manager

at One On One / Next Level

Fun question!

If you could pick only one movie genre to watch until the end of time…what would it be?

Are you into high-speed action-adventure 🚔 chases all day? Maybe it’s a zombie apocalypse 🧟‍♂️ that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Or is it the magic of rom-com that captures your ❤️?

Have you ever wondered HOW the talented actors who make these epic movies actually land the part that brings the pages of a script to life?

Well, that’s where we come in!

Here at One On One / Next Level, we help actors forge their own relationships with the industry instead of waiting for the phone to ring.

We pride ourselves on being a space for trained, committed actors to build a community and network, thereby being a bridge to their success.

We offer in-person programming across 3 campuses - Los Angeles, New York, and online - along with special programs & collaborations with renowned institutions such as the USC School of Cinematic Arts Film School & NYU Tisch Grad Film School.

The entertainment industry is now resurging after a pandemic pause. We’re poised and ready to amplify our 30-year track record with creative marketing buzz to help us connect the best acting talent with accomplished industry professionals.

To help us make our vision a reality, we’re adding a new Marketing Manager to our team!

How you work:

• You are resourceful and open to outside of the box methods to reach new audiences, form new partnerships, and get in front of our target audience.
• You aren't afraid to make cold calls, slide into a new contact’s DMs, experiment with making cover letter videos, or even send a good 'ole fashioned fax’. It’s all in the name of building relationships and representing our brand with excellence.
• You have a good eye for aesthetics and can create basic graphics that are in tune with the studio's brand.
• You love the idea of being the voice behind the brand. Your name may be out of sight, but your words will be front and center. Your priority is to get the ideas out.

• You enjoy a good laugh and like to have fun with the people you work with.
• Experience in or exposure to the television, film, and/or theatre industries in New York, Los Angeles, and regional markets such as Atlanta and New Mexico is an asset, but not required.
