Dear [Hiring manager's name],
As the social media chair for my university's Residence Hall Association, I grew our Instagram following from 650 to 1,900 in one academic year, and I'm looking for a summer internship at [Company name] where I can apply that same content instinct to a real brand audience.
A weekly "dorm life" Reels series I started grew our average views from 300 to 4,200 per post within a semester, and I planned the social promotion for our spring housing fair, which drove a 45% increase in event sign-ups over the prior year using only organic posts and no paid budget. In a social media analytics course, I built a campaign performance report that our professor now shares as a model with the following semester's class.
I shoot and edit short-form video on CapCut, schedule posts in Later, and I track engagement by content type in a spreadsheet I built myself, not just by watching the like count climb. I completed a Hootsuite social marketing certification over the summer, and I study competitor accounts in my free time because I genuinely like figuring out why one post works and another doesn't.
I'd welcome the chance to talk about how I could contribute to [Company name]'s social presence this summer, and I'm happy to share my content tracking spreadsheet. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Alex Young
