Dear [Hiring manager's name],
As the social media manager for my university's Marketing Club, I grew our Instagram from 800 to 1,120 followers in a single semester while carrying a 3.7 GPA toward my marketing degree at Crestline State University, and I'm looking for a summer internship at [Company name] where I can put that same content-and-data approach to work on a bigger brand.
The results I'm proudest of go beyond the follower count. Lifting our average post engagement from 2.1% to 4.8% came from testing formats against the analytics every week, not guessing. As event director for our Campus Outreach Council, I organized a fundraiser that raised $4,200 for a regional food bank, 30% above the previous year, by recruiting 15 volunteers and securing donations from 9 local businesses.
In a market research practicum, I analyzed three competitor brands using survey responses from 120 students, presented the findings to a panel of four professors, and earned the top grade in a class of 85. I hold Google Analytics and Hootsuite certifications, and I track everything I post in Google Analytics and Meta Business Suite before I report it to anyone.
I'd welcome the chance to talk about how I could contribute to [Company name]'s marketing team this summer, and I'm happy to share the strategy deck from my practicum project. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Marcus Clark
