Dear Ms. Reilly:
As the marketing manager for my college a cappella group, I oversee all promotional materials and media outreach for our 14-person group. Last year, that translated into a 7% increase in CD sales and 11% increase in concert ticket sales over the previous season. I’m a junior majoring in marketing at University College, and when I saw XYZ Company’s marketing internship on Chegg Internships, I knew it was a perfect fit.
In addition to managing all marketing efforts for my a cappella group, I work as a part-time barista at Good Times Coffee. Every week, I use Hootsuite to craft and coordinate the local shop’s social media efforts and marketing campaigns. I’ve grown our web and social media presence substantially, and we’ve seen a 27% increase in Facebook followership. When I’m not working, I’m studying, and I’ve completed courses in marketing research, marketing strategy, advertising, promotion, and product development, with a major GPA of 3.4.
My attached resume expands on my community involvement, coursework, and professional experience. As I prepare for a career in marketing, I am eager to make an impact and gain hands-on experience with your innovative team. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Devin Advert

Dear Ms. Reilly:
As the digital marketing strategist for ABC Company, I developed a social media campaign that increased online sales by 146% in eight months. I am an accomplished marketing specialist, skilled at designing and implementing digital media strategies that generate new clients and revenue streams for businesses—and I’ll bring that experience and expertise to work as the digital marketing specialist for Grantham Paper, Inc.
In addition to running social media campaigns for ABC Company, I coordinated with business owners, senior management, marketing personnel, and accounting departments to develop digital platforms that built up a large customer base. In college, I worked as a freelance marketing specialist, designing online platforms through which customers relay feedback, successfully enhancing service to address customer concerns. I’m experienced in HTML, Java, and SQLScript, with an ability to design, build, and maintain websites that include high-resolution video/images.
As your digital marketing specialist position requires expertise similar to mine, I believe I would serve Grantham Paper, Inc. well in this role. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Devin Advert
