Creative Director
[Company name]
[City, State]

Dear [Hiring manager's name],

At Fernbrook Media Group I animate lower-thirds, title sequences and social cutdowns for a regional broadcast client, delivering around 20 finished motion pieces a month across broadcast and vertical social formats. I am applying to [Company name]'s Motion Graphics Designer opening because your recent title sequence work treats motion as storytelling, not just a logo sting.

A title sequence I animated for the client's new morning show cut the previous sequence's production cost 40% by building a modular After Effects template producers can reuse without touching a single keyframe, and it is still running two seasons later. Our social cutdowns using my animated caption templates lifted average watch time 25% over the client's static-caption baseline.

I animate in After Effects with Trapcode and other plugin sets for polish, and I have picked up enough Cinema 4D to build simple 3D title elements without outsourcing them. Working directly with editors and producers on tight broadcast turnarounds has taught me to build templates other people can actually use, not just one-off files only I understand.

I would love to show you that morning show sequence and talk through how [Company name] approaches its own template systems. I can share both broadcast and social-format samples side by side. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Taylor Walker

Why this letter works

  1. Paragraph 1

    Names monthly output and format range

    A creative director wants proof of pace across formats. Naming pieces per month across both broadcast and social shows range and volume before a reel is watched.

  2. Paragraph 2

    A reusable template is a cost story, not just craft

    A template that cut production cost and is still in use two seasons later proves this designer's work outlasts a single project, which matters to a client's ongoing budget.

  3. Paragraph 3

    Shows tools built for others to use, not just self

    Naming templates other editors can operate signals this designer thinks about team efficiency, not only their own individual output.

Questions about motion graphics designer cover letters

Should a motion graphics designer cover letter mention specific software plugins?

Yes, briefly. Naming a plugin set like Trapcode alongside After Effects tells a creative director your polish level, but keep the focus mostly on a finished piece and its result.

How do I show impact for work made to be used by other people, like a template?

Describe how long it has been in use and what it saved, such as production cost or time, since a reusable asset's ongoing value is a stronger proof point than a single finished video.

Should I include both broadcast and social-format work in my reel?

Yes, if you have both. Showing range across formats proves you understand how motion design changes for a vertical, sound-off social clip versus a full-screen broadcast piece.
