- Manage and fine-tune performance marketing campaigns for optimal results.
- Keep pace with emerging digital marketing trends to implement innovative strategies and maintain a competitive edge.
- Music Production Management:

- Negotiate contracts with composers and producers, ensuring alignment with budget constraints and project timelines.
- Coordinate the music production pipeline, working with internal teams and external freelancers to ensure seamless execution from concept to final delivery.
- Release Management & Distribution:

- Use insights on streaming economics to strategically position releases, maximizing visibility and revenue through various promotional channels.
- Regularly analyze streaming performance data to identify trends, refine future releases, and create reports for the Lunar X management team.
- Business Acumen:
