George Burton

As a member and primary business manager of a band called South by Zero, I have a range of experience in transferrable life skills. These include invoicing, ticket sales, merchandise sales and printing, social media marketing, meta advertising, Spotify playlist promotion, budgeting and scheduling. I have enjoyed negotiations with a variety of interested partners who have valued my punctuality, tenacity and leadership skills. During the past two years in the music industry in Manchester, I have created an extensive list of contacts including bar managers, event promoters, session musicians, artists, DJ's, graphic designers, Printing companies, merchandise manufacturers, photographers, videographers, sync companies, PR companies and A and R reps for record labels/publishers. I believe in original thinking when it comes to creating marketing strategies and my favourite part of the job is solving difficult problems. I am not a bad Bass player either.

I would be keen to use my experience to develop a portfolio within the music industry but also believe that I can bring a strong set of transferrable skills to any setting. Essentially, I am a hardworking, adaptable, fast learning, team player who is excited about finding my place in the workplace, wherever that may be.
