Project: Ninja Tune
Independent record label Ninja Tune is the brainchild of Matt Black and Jonathan More aka Coldcut, and was founded in 1990. It is home to the likes of The Cinematic Orchestra, Bonobo, Young Fathers, Roots Manuva, The Bug, Amon Tobin, Bicep, Jordan Rakei, Peggy Gou, Helena Hauff, as well as housing sister labels Big Dada, Counter Records and Technicolour. I oversaw Social Media Strategy, Paid Social and Email Marketing most prominently throughout my five years at the label.
