Founded five and a half years ago, Journey Further is a Performance and Brand agency that accelerates growth for leading brands and ambitious start-ups . Our 170+ team are located in Leeds (HQ), Manchester, London and Manhattan, NY.

We have been recognised as the fastest growing agency in Europe (AdWeek) and have just won Global Performance Agency of the Year (Campaign, May 2022). We were also crowned the number one medium sized agency to work for in 2022. We are a business where our people matter above all else and why less than 2% of our team leave each year.

Having grown 95% in 2021 our sights are now firmly set on our US expansion. We already partner with global brands that we want to service from the US and feel it’s the right time to launch our Clarity at Speed proposition to the US market.

Intensive planning has led us to a fresh direction and clear 5 year vision for the agency. We now need to find the founding US team to help make our vision a reality.

About the role

When we started Journey Further (2017) our vision was to create the Clarity at Speed performance agency that could take on the biggest and most respected agencies (with a disruptive approach) and win. We had no team, no clients and no proof that our approach would work. It did.

To make the US expansion a success, we need to go back to that start-up mentality and make decisions similar to those we made when we founded Journey Further. Only this time we have the strength of our existing team, our clients and our reputation to accelerate growth.

Purpose of the role

Reporting to our US CEO you will lead Journey Further Paid Media strategy and execution.

  • Audit accounts, devise PPC strategies and pitch for new business
  • Test new ideas to drive account growth, reporting back to the team and your clients

  • Meeting and maintaining a network of partners and providers to help deliver the best media plans possible for our clients
  • Collaborating with both internal and external creative teams to ensure all deliverables are to spec and make use of the platform/partner’s capabilities
  • Negotiating with suppliers to achieve preferential rates for our clients
  • Always go the extra mile, surprising and delighting your clients

It’s imperative that your approach aligns perfectly to our mission and values.

Mission = we challenge with care anything that limits performance

What is an entertainment career?

An entertainment career encompasses a broad spectrum of roles and activities within the creative industries, including film, television, music, theater, and digital media. These careers involve the creation, production, and distribution of content designed to entertain, inform, and engage audiences. Here’s a closer look at the various aspects of an entertainment career, what it involves, and the opportunities it presents.

Key Sectors in Entertainment

1. Film and Television: This sector includes jobs ranging from acting, directing, and screenwriting to more technical roles like cinematography, sound engineering, and editing. Professionals in this field work on movies, TV shows, commercials, and documentaries.

2. Music: Careers in music are diverse and can range from performing as a singer or instrumentalist to roles behind the scenes such as music production, songwriting, and managing artists.

3. Theater: Theater professionals may work as actors, directors, set designers, or playwrights. This field emphasizes live performances and often requires a strong background in performing arts.

4. Digital Media: With the rise of internet content consumption, digital media careers have become highly popular. This includes digital content creation, animation, video game design, and roles in emerging platforms like streaming services.

5. Event Management and Promotion: This involves organizing concerts, premieres, sports events, and other entertainment functions. Careers here include event planners, promoters, and logistical support roles.

Educational Paths

Most roles in entertainment require a combination of formal education and hands-on experience. Degrees in film, theater, music, digital arts, or media studies are common among professionals in this field. However, many skills in the entertainment industry are honed through apprenticeships, internships, and on-the-job training.

Skills Required

A successful career in entertainment often demands creativity, perseverance, and a strong work ethic. Technical skills specific to an industry segment—like editing software proficiency for filmmakers or digital audio workstations knowledge for music producers—are also crucial. Soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and networking, are essential, given the collaborative nature of the industry.

Career Opportunities and Challenges

Entertainment careers can be incredibly rewarding, offering the chance to work on creative projects and sometimes gaining public recognition. However, these careers can also be highly competitive and unpredictable. Job stability can be an issue, as work is often project-based and may involve periods of unemployment between gigs. Moreover, the rise of digital technologies continues to reshape career paths in entertainment, creating new opportunities but also challenges for traditional roles.

Conclusion

An entertainment career can be dynamic and exciting, suited for those passionate about creating content that moves and entertains audiences. Whether you’re drawn to the spotlight or interested in the technical and strategic sides of the industry, there’s a wide range of opportunities to explore. As with any field, success in entertainment requires dedication, adaptability, and continual learning.

For anyone considering this path, understanding the scope of the industry, the necessary skills, and the typical career trajectories can provide a solid foundation for making informed decisions about entering and navigating this competitive field.

What is the highest paying job in the entertainment industry?

The entertainment industry offers a variety of high-paying careers, with salaries varying widely depending on the role, experience, and success of the projects involved. Some of the highest-paying positions in this sector include:

1. Film Director
Directors helm the creative aspects of film production, guiding everything from the interpretation of the script to the execution of the final product. Top directors command high salaries, especially when they take a percentage of a film’s earnings, which can lead to multimillion-dollar incomes for successful box office hits.

2. Producer
Producers play a crucial role in all aspects of film, television, and theater production. They manage the production’s financials, coordinate between the cast and crew, and ensure the project stays on schedule and within budget. Successful producers, especially those who work on blockbuster films or hit TV shows, can earn substantial sums, particularly if they also receive a share of the profits.

3. Showrunner
In television, a showrunner is a person who has overall creative authority and management responsibility for a TV series. They are often the creator, head writer, and executive producer. This role combines the creative skills of writing and the leadership required to run a show, often earning high compensation, especially on popular series.
