Ever dreamt about getting paid to go to festivals? Back in February, Skiddle , the event discovery platform, announced a new job opportunity to join as an official festival reporter and attend 13 festivals between May and August this year.
The job advertised for someone with a creative streak and the ability to create and produce fun and exciting content. After more than 10 applications, the team hired Nichita Matei, a 21 year old graduate from Manchester, who has previously run his own YouTube channel.
Throughout the summer, Nichita will be creating a ‘Festival Diary’ series which will consist of video blogs and written blogs on each festival he attends. The diaries will follow him trying to find the best festival food, the greatest acts of the summer. Lisa Braithwaite, Senior Marketing Manager at Skiddle said: “We chose Nichita because of his vibrant personality that was shown on his video submission, his experience in creating video content and his enthusiasm for live music and events. We trust that he will do a great job when he is out at all of these festivals over the summer.”
