Ms Charlotte Nguyen

Head of Marketing

Banksia Home Goods

Subject: Application for Digital Marketing Executive

Dear Ms Nguyen,

A referral offer and a tested landing page grew our email list by 38% in twelve months at Greenbox Subscriptions. Working out why that worked is the part of marketing I enjoy, and I am applying to do more of it as Digital Marketing Executive at Banksia Home Goods.

I plan and send two email campaigns a week to 46,000 subscribers, with a 3.2% average click rate. I also manage a paid social budget of A$6,000 a month, and testing new audiences cut our cost per sign-up from A$14 to A$9. Each month I write the performance report for our founders, and I include the campaigns that did badly, because those teach more than the ones that worked.

Banksia's focus on homeware people keep for years is why I would like to join your team, because writing for a product that lasts means the copy has to be accurate. My product pages and blog posts lifted organic visits by about a fifth over the year, and at Bellflower Cosmetics I corrected size and ingredient details on 120 product listings. Writing product pages and blog posts for linen and cookware would let me use both habits.

Happy to draft a short test plan for your weekly email before we meet: two subject lines and one change to the opening, with the click rate I would measure them against. Two of my monthly reports for the founders can come with it, figures kept and customer details removed.

Kind regards,

Mei Tanaka

A made-up letter. The person, the employers and every number are invented, and any resemblance to a real one is chance. Sending it by email? Put the subject line in the email’s subject box, add your name to it, and attach the letter as a PDF.

Paragraph by paragraph

  1. The opening

    Starts: “A referral offer and a tested landing…”

    Leads with the list growth and how it was won, then names the role in a plain sentence.

  2. Your strongest evidence

    Starts: “I plan and send two email campaigns…”

    Answers the advert's lines on weekly email, paid social and reporting to leaders, each with a figure.

  3. Why this employer

    Starts: “Banksia's focus on homeware people keep for…”

    Gives a real reason for this employer and answers the line on writing product pages and blog posts, linking it to accuracy work earlier in the writer's career.

  4. The close

    Starts: “Happy to draft a short test plan…”

    Makes a concrete offer tied to the advert's weekly email line, which gives the manager something to discuss.

Why this letter works

  • The opening result comes with its method, a referral offer and a tested page.
  • Reporting bad campaigns shows honest judgment early in a career.
  • The why-them paragraph names the brand and links lasting products to accurate copy.
  • The close offers a small test plan for the employer's own weekly email.

How to write your own marketing executive cover letter

  1. Say what drove a list or audience gain, such as a referral offer, not only the percentage.
  2. Mention that your reports include what did not work; managers value that candour.
  3. Link a past detail job, like correcting product listings, to the writing the role asks for.
  4. Offer a small test plan for one of their channels instead of a general chat.
  5. Give paid social results as cost per sign-up before and after, with the monthly budget.

Common questions

How do I write a marketing letter with only three years of experience?

Pick three results with clear causes and give the budget or list size behind each. Depth on a few results beats a long list.

Should I say I report failed campaigns?

Yes. It shows you learn from results, which is what reporting is for. Keep it to one sentence.

What if the employer sells a different product from mine?

Find the skill that carries over, such as accurate product copy or email testing, and say why it suits their product.

Is it fine to offer work before an interview?

A short test plan or a few subject lines is fine and shows initiative. Avoid offering a full campaign for free.
