Marketing Cover Letter Sample Helps You To Write Better Marketing Letters

There are two different versions of a marketing cover letter on this page, the first is to an employer who has advertised the job of Marketing Manager.

The second marketing letter is a cover letter for a Sales & Marketing manager's job also advertised but you will see that the style of the second marketing cover letter is very different from the first.

It's true that some jobs, particularly those for creative people, demand a more flamboyant approach than others do, but every single cover letter needs to be interesting and capable of creating action!

It also needs to showcase your unique skills and flair for the particular role.

As a marketing cover letter it needs to do three things:

1. Pique the reader's sense of interest;

2. Illustrate how you understand the advertiser's need;

3. Create the desire to find out more.

How do they find out more? By inviting you to an interview of course.

Read this letter carefully and see how you could adapt it to meet your particular situation but don't forget your Marketing Resume

You will note how this marketing covering letter is not the standard "I wish to apply..." letter.

Mr R Forsyth
Personnel Manager
Brindleton City Arts & Conference Centre

Dear Mr Forsyth
MARKETING MANAGER
Being a keen and regular theatre and concert goer, I have often visited Brindleton City Arts & Conference Centre and was therefore most interested and excited by your advertisement of 8 October 2008. I should like to throw my hat into the ring by enclosing my CV for your attention.
The advertisement conveys a great sense of energy and pride in your organisation - this is exactly the type of environment to which I have contributed in the past.
As requested, I have set out below a list of achievements but would emphasise that some of these would not have been possible but for the strong team spirit which has been a feature in most of my roles. I have always encouraged corporate effort and prefer to think of myself as a member of the orchestra rather than a one man band!
Over the last five years I have:
Created a modern and European marketing plan for one of the UK’s leading ballet companies, leading to a profitable tour of N America.
Held budgetary responsibility for £350,000.
Acted as Marketing Manager for one of London’s best known theatre groups, where I won sponsorship from Midshire Bank Scottish Airways, National Railtech, Power Generators plc and many smaller companies.
Also worked for a year as a self-employed consultant in Germany devising marketing strategies for Government funded cultural activities.
I consider that I have proved my ability to succeed in a tough and financially pressured environment. Since I would anticipate that sponsorship will continue to be essential to the success of any arts-related activity. I believe that my track record of developing and maintaining business contacts should serve me well. My extensive network will be a useful starting point for Brindleton. I also believe that European outlook will be essential and my experiences of working overseas, together with good spoken French and German, would allow me to market your conference facilities sensitively and efficiently.
I look forward to the opportunity of discussing my contribution with you further.
Yours sincerely
Jeremy McStone
