LOUIS JOHNSON

Brighton and Hove/ Worthing

Summary

I'm a second-year Music Business and Media student at the University of Brighton, currently seeking work experience or internships in PR within the music, media, or publishing industries. My interest in PR has grown through my university studies and a mentorship programme, where I've gained valuable insights from an experienced professional. I'm passionate about music and live events. Most of my spare time is spent discovering new music, attending gigs, and meeting new people. I've also organised a live music event myself, giving me hands-on experience in planning and promotion. I'm eager to learn, contribute, and build my experience in PR as I continue my studies.

Work history

Co-Founder

Blackout Events
Worthing

A few friends and I revived an old events company and put on an almost sold out post-punk event at The Factory In Worthing (where punk is a rare sight). This gave me knowledge and understanding on starting an event from scratch, but also opened my eyes to all the other parts of putting on an event like advertising, promoting, organising, creating contracts, etc. Https://www.thefactorylive.co.uk/event/blackout
