WHO WE ARE
Breakaway is the nation’s leading independent live entertainment brand, operating as a dynamic flywheel spanning live music, artist services, event management and operations, and digital media. Its tentpole touring music festivals deliver premium experiences to underserved music fans across the country. Since its inception, the festival has expanded into multiple cities and grown into a two-day, multi-stage event in every market. The brand champions accessibility, music, art, creativity, and community. Breakaway also creates cultural moments through “Breakaway Presents,” a series of pop-up events in markets such as Miami and Las Vegas. The company remains dedicated to discovering and amplifying the ‘next big thing’ in music through its record label and artist-management division, Breakaway Projects.
THE ROLE
We’re looking for a driven, creative, and highly strategic Director of Marketing to lead a growing division of the marketing function at Breakaway. This is a high-impact role responsible for developing and executing campaigns that drive ticket sales across festivals, pop-ups, and concerts, elevate our brand, and deepen our connection with fans nationwide.
In this role, you’ll own the end-to-end digital and out-of-home marketing strategy, from campaign development and paid media to creative, PR, and executive reporting. You’ll partner closely with our organic social, influencer, and artist marketing teams to deliver full-scale campaigns that drive ticket sales and elevate our brand. You’ll lead and grow a high-performing team while partnering cross-functionally with ticketing, sponsorship, operations, and artist relations to bring each festival to life. This role requires someone who can think big while staying hands-on, equally comfortable building strategy decks and being in the weeds on briefing and overseeing creative deliverables, executing in a fast-paced festival environment.
The ideal candidate brings 7–10 years of marketing experience, preferably within live events, music, or entertainment, along with a proven track record of building campaigns that convert. You’re a strong leader who knows how to move quickly, make data-driven decisions, and build teams that deliver at scale.
