Dear [Hiring manager's name],
I direct a six-person creative team at Northlight Creative Agency across fourteen integrated campaigns a year on a combined $4.2 million media budget, and I am ready to bring that scale to an agency where new-business pitches carry as much weight as client retention. [Agency name]'s recent campaign work is exactly the kind of concepting I want my team building next.
Our rebrand for a national retail client lifted brand recognition 18% within six months, and I have now won seven of the last nine new-business pitches, adding $2.1 million in annual billings along the way. I also built the agency's first centralized brand standards library, cutting client asset-approval turnaround 30% across every account team.
I manage photo and video shoot direction for 22 productions a year, keeping 95% of them inside an average $45,000 budget, and I work daily across the full Adobe Creative Cloud suite alongside copywriters, account managers and production partners. Presenting concepts directly to client stakeholders, often in the room for the pitch itself, is where I do my best work.
I would welcome the chance to show you the rebrand work and the pitch deck that won our biggest account this year, and to hear about the roster [Agency name] is building for next year. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Peyton Martinez
