Alex Berryhill

Marketing, records, rooms, media, nighttime economy.

I build night culture - strategically, civically, and creatively. Much is public facing; most is behind the scenes.

EVENT MARKETING

I managed or shaped Meta Ads, email and SMS, social campaigns and launch strategy for these parties. This leaves out hundreds of local events I have thrown or worked on.

NIGHTLIFE INFRASTRUCTURE

Work outside the dance floor

ONE Denver / NiteCap

Civic work

As a director of ONE Denver, I worked on the revision of Denver’s outdated entertainment codes and helped design a nightlife harm-reduction program endorsed by the mayor and the public health department. Belonging to the NiteCap network connects that local experience to nighttime-economy advocates and city officials across the United States.

501(c)(3) / label / meetup

BlackSine

I run BlackSine, a nonprofit that teaches and promotes dance music. It is also a label distributed by Triplevision and the host of a monthly Denver producer meetup attended by 20 to 50 people. Its Google Ad Grant can support editorial campaigns about dance music and the institutions behind it, within the grant’s restrictions.

I maintain a PR database with contacts at Mixmag, DJ Mag, The New York Times and more than 1,800 dance-music channels. I have written for Magnetic Magazine, 6AM and Westword.
