Senior Partnerships Manager

noisy is an independent culture agency connecting brands to the moments that matter. We work at the intersection of live music, entertainment and lifestyle to make brands genuinely cool through activations, events, and campaigns that actually cut through.
We represent and operate some of Australia's most exciting cultural platforms: Lines (Bondi Lines, Melbourne Lines, Brisbane Lines), a real-time nightlife guide; Mixmag ANZ, the Australian and New Zealand arm of the world's biggest dance music brand; WhatsLively, a music discovery platform powered by streaming data; Secondz, a restaurant discovery platform curated by hospo insiders; The Sydney Run Club, Australia's most viral run club; Maple Social Club, a free-entry community events series. Plus a slate of Australia's top music festivals and events.
Alongside the network, our ideas lab builds activations and events that actually get talked about: a pop-up gig in a pizza shop, guerrilla marketing at festivals, or building a Japanese convenience store from scratch and having a DJ headline it, all in the name of content.
We don't put brands around culture. We make them part of it.
