Two Minutes with…
Natasha Lewis, Talent Liaison Manager at MTV.
Having recently been placed by Searchlight Recruitment at MTV in the exciting and fast paced role of Talent Liaison Manager, I have found myself thriving off the creative environment and daily challenges.
Day to day activities can change drastically so I always have to stay on the ball and remain flexible. This could come in the form of accompanying the cast to photo and production shoots, attending late night press events, and assisting the publicity department to avoid a potential PR crisis. This would usually revolve around monitoring the cast’s social media accounts and being on the lookout for any concerns when creating breakdowns of production logs.
Hosting MTV face to face and phone interviews is another highly enjoyable aspect of the role but being on set for shoots is a personal highlight.
A challenge would be monitoring and organising the entire cast’s diaries and organisation is key to the role, but working in such a fast paced and changing environment has always been something I relish.
And while the general timetable of my days can flip from late nights to early starts, I look forward to continuing to develop within the role and see what new exciting events arise.
