About Time Too!

So I thought it was time I said a quick hello to all the Rising Music and Rising Digital fans. In a rather clichéd Bridget Jones style introduction… “This is Beth, she loves all things Social Media and spends her weekends dancing hard to the pumping sounds that dominate the Leeds club scene.”

I’ve been working in Social Media for the past 16 months or so. My journey began at a Leeds based SM company, Wolfstar , which is where my relationship began with Seb, MD and founder of Rising Digital Ltd. Upon finishing my degree in broadcast journalism and my stint at Wolfstar, I decided that Social Media was the career for me.

Spending a year creating a Social Media department at a Yorkshire based Digital Marketing company, which involved running campaigns for Play.com, Argos and Comet as well as creating the over all business strategy required for any new department, has provided me with a proficient base of knowledge and experience.

Once I was given the signal that Rising was set up and good to go, I took the plunge into the exciting and inspirational world of music marketing. Rising’s client list already boasts some of the worlds top DJ’s including Chris Lake Chris Lake, Sander Van Doorn and Steve Angello.



A week in the industry and my passion has increased even more. Filling my head with html and advanced audio coding doesn’t seem quite so tedious when it’s all for the illustrious cause of spreading the work of such prominent artists. I am a true advocate for dance music, making this my dream job.

All that’s left (besides the continuous learning necessary when working in the business of social media) is to hunt out a wide variety of DJ’s, so bring on the Techno, DnB, DupStep, you name it… I want to market it : )
