Do you ever wonder what a day at a Nashville artist management company looks like? Well today, you’re getting a peek! Hi, my name is Hannah Loomis and I am an intern here at Olivia Management! I’m going to be taking you through what my typical day looks like in the office.
After logging onto Slack and saying hello to everyone, I always start my day by heading over to Asana and checking what tasks I’ve been assigned! Asana is a project management software that allows us to assign and be assigned things to work on. I always complete the tasks that are due by the end of the day first, and then I prioritize what else needs to be done from there.
After updating our tour database with social handles, ticket links, ticket prices, and contact information, I headed into our office’s kitchen for lunch! I snagged a spoon to eat some cereal and said hello to some of our office neighbors.
After lunch, I began working on checking the ticket links to our artist’s shows and collecting the ticket counts from each venue. I do this each week so that we know how many tickets have been sold and to check that the show’s information and branding are correct.
I also packed a merch order that we received! With a little bit of help from ShipStation and our Slab page for shipping processes, I got a vinyl order ready for shipping! We use ShipStation as a way to create shipping labels, and Slab is a site that acts as our company handbook.
Next, I started working on my Artist Expert project! This is a semester-long project that each intern is assigned. Through the Artist Expert project, we get to become immersed in the management of a few particular artists on the Olivia Management roster. We ensure their social media pages are taken care of, report their streaming numbers, and more. This semester, I’ve been Alex Blue and Smooth Hound Smith’s artist expert!
Last but not least, I make sure the office is picked up, say goodbye to everyone, and head out. So, there you have it! That was a day in my life as an intern at Olivia Management. I have loved every second of my role at Olivia — so much so that I’m returning for the summer! Each day is unique and exciting in its own way, and I have been given so many opportunities during my time here. I’ve attended an artist’s release party, watched an artist’s creative process come to life in the studio, and learned incredible things that I’ll carry with me throughout my career. Erin and the rest of the Olivia Management team are brilliant and it is truly a joy to learn from them!
