Does Compass offer an internship program?
Yes. We take great pride in our internship program. Our system is unique in that it is based on a process of rotation, which we feel provides our interns with greater exposure to all aspects of independent record label operation. Our interns typically spend several weeks working in individual departments: Radio Promotion, Press & Publicity, Sales & Marketing, Production & New Media, and the General/Office department. Duties include:

  • Assisting in all of our radio promotions efforts
  • Calling stations
  • Emailing press releases
  • Working on tour press
  • Calling writers
  • Building and maintaining databases
  • Calling retail stores
  • Managing website content
  • Assisting each department on both long-term and short-term projects. Interns become familiar with a variety of software programs including Quark, Filemaker Pro, Toast, Jam and more. In addition, interns may take part in production/manufacturing and play a significant role in our mail room and assisting with other day-to-day tasks of the label.

*If you are interested in applying/learning more about our internship program, please email your resume to: [email protected].

How do I send fan mail to my favorite artist?
Please do not send fan mail to Compass Records. We suggest that you check the artist’s official website or social media accounts for that information.
