Jenna Holt
Marketing Coordinator, Alpine Ski House
Dear Jenna Holt,
I'm applying for the Marketing Coordinator role at Alpine Ski House. I run social media, email and events day to day for Willamette Outdoor Co., another outdoor brand, and I'd like to bring that experience to a brand built around time outdoors.
On social, I schedule and publish 20+ posts a week across Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook in Hootsuite, and our engagement rate rose from 2.4% to 4.1%. I build and send 8 email campaigns a month in Mailchimp, and segmented lists and A/B testing on subject lines lifted our click-through rate from 1.9% to 3.2%. I also update product pages and blog posts in WordPress, and organic sessions grew 35% year over year.
I keep events on track too: 6 trade shows and in-store events a year, with booth materials, vendors and a $40K budget to manage. Before Willamette, I worked part-time at Hawthorne Coffee Roasters, making social posts and signage for 4 locations and growing the Instagram account from 3,200 to 9,800 followers in 14 months.
I'd be glad to share work samples and talk about your plans for the season. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Kayla Robinson

Do marketing coordinators need a cover letter?
Often, yes. Marketing teams read the letter as a writing sample, so keep it clear, specific and free of buzzwords.
Should I include links in my letter?
One portfolio link is enough. Write it out in full so it works when printed or parsed.
