Fashion Marketing Cover Letter

Good afternoon. My name is ○○○. I’m a fashion marketing major. I chose my major with dreams of becoming a fashion designer, but as I studied and experienced the field, I realized that fashion marketing was the right fit for me. Especially as the son of a tailor, it was natural for me to have dreams of the fashion world, the world of clothing. Under the influence of my parents, who taught me to be creative by experiencing various societies and fields rather than becoming a stereotypical, principled person, I grew up experiencing various artistic fields, which became the foundation of my basic aptitude and competitiveness.
I am a person with a challenging disposition, so I am considered an energetic person who is always proactive and always achieves what I set my mind to. I also like to socialize with people and have a lot of laughter, so I have always been able to maintain a flexible interpersonal relationship. I have been able to deepen my knowledge in the field of fashion, which I have been close to since childhood, through my university courses, and I have set my dreams and goals for fashion marketing, and I have constantly challenged myself by setting goals. Therefore, I am confident that I will be able to excel in your company’s fashion-related tasks with my challenging disposition and expertise.
I understand the unique environment of the baby clothing market, which is different from the ready-to-wear market for adults, and I am applying because I believe that if I grow in this field, I will be able to grow professionally under a unique position. I believe that your company has a unique brand competitiveness that creates a baby culture. If I join your company, I will strive to become a fast-growing and professional core person to keep pace with the fast-growing market speed and the growth potential of your brand. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.

 

Marketing Cover Letter

Good afternoon, Mr. President. This is ○○○. I believe that there are many ‘kings’ and ‘kingmakers’ in this world, and in the matter of whether to be a king or a shining kingmaker, I want your company to be a strategic kingmaker that makes your customers around the world kings, and I want to be a kingmaker, a professional marketer that makes your company a king.
I majored in media public relations and gained theories and expertise in corporate public relations, media public relations, internal and external marketing, etc. through my classes. After completing my third year, I also worked as an Assistant AE in Mccann’s Hong Kong office for one year through an overseas internship program to gain practical experience. I believe that your marketing department is in an important position to accurately inform potential clients about your excellent human resources, research results, performance, etc. and attract new clients. Therefore, I am passionate about implementing marketing public relations strategies based on my academic knowledge and practical experience.
I would like to become a kingmaker of your company by analyzing your basic data, activating online marketing, and establishing a marketing plan with passion. Your company is currently positioned as the number one consulting group. I believe that you can make that position even stronger by strengthening your image of reaching out to customers first. If you give me the opportunity, I will grow into a professional marketer in that field and work to make your company a ‘king’. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.

 

Marketing cover letter

Good afternoon, Mr. President. My name is ○○○. I grew up studying marketing and planning and seeing firsthand how a great marketing case can change a company, the people in it, and even society and culture through my mother, who is a salesperson. In this way, I thought that my interest and learning about various cultures is endless. In that sense, I thought that your company’s policy of developing a systematic talent development system to develop the potential of employees and fostering professionals, as well as your performance-based system, is in line with my dream of becoming a marketing professional focused on international markets. Throughout my academic career, I have taken on new challenges to continue to satisfy my thirst for new cultures and languages. I hope to discover my potential in your company and express my various qualities to become an international marketing professional who can quickly approach the changing times. As the cultural director of the club association, I was responsible for the overall planning of the on-campus festivals. I was given the task of planning to realize the ideals of each club within a set budget. I got to know the people and their interests before meeting with the representatives of the clubs, and even prepared a plan of action for any crisis situations that might arise. The most memorable part of my work was drawing and thinking about how to communicate with people with different interests, which taught me that considering variables, preparing for them, and keeping an eye on the human heart leads to a more complete product.
I would like to become a marketing professional who moves people’s hearts in your company, and if I join your company, I would like to grow into a talent in the field of global marketing through my knowledge, persistence, action, and proactivity. Thank you.

 

Marketing cover letter

Hello, I’m ○○○ applying for a marketing job. I was born in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, and throughout my school years, I have been a class president and chairman of my class. It was my active and outspoken personality that allowed me to be trusted by my friends and stand in a position of leadership. I developed charismatic leadership to represent students and empathetic leadership to listen to students’ stories and improvements through my leadership positions as class president and chairman. In my freshman year, I created a club called “Seoul Travel Club” and toured Namsan, 63 Building, Hangang Park, etc. with my friends who had come to Seoul for college. I was able to make many friends and connections through my active leadership and lively personality.
In my second year of university, I decided to major in advertising and public relations and became famous as a junior who chased and annoyed my seniors. I thought it was important to learn not only the major knowledge that I learned in school, but also to listen to vivid stories from the field that I couldn’t learn in school. As I developed my dream of advertising and marketing, I thought that I should use my learning to promote my mother’s handmade food. My mother, who had a ‘taste’ that was rumored in the neighborhood, would make miso, gochujang, and soy sauce every season, and I wanted to make her taste known, first through blogs and social media, and then through a homepage that I made myself. As orders flooded in from all over the country, I even registered as a business, and I won first prize in a home shopping MD idea contest with a work based on the motif of ‘mother’s taste, healthy nature’.
As a marketer for your company, I would like to become a planner who devises excellent positioning and brand strategies. Based on the aforementioned experience, I can say that I have the ability to devise brand strategies related to food, medicine, and health supplements. I am also confident in my ability to analyze the market and statistics, and I will not be complacent and will continue to study. In particular, I am most confident in promotional activities through blogs, social media, and websites that your company requires. Based on these abilities, I will play my role as a valuable marketer for your company. Thank you.

 

Entertainment Business (Marketing) cover letter

Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman. My name is ○○○. I have a wide range of academic knowledge. After graduating from college, I majored in broadcasting technology at a university specializing in broadcasting, and I also planned and produced dramas in an academic club within the department. I also learned about related programs, which equipped me with many abilities to work in the field. I then transferred to a business department and tried to find something that I could do well by combining related fields with business administration, and I have achieved results through many external activities. It’s this diversity of experience that makes me the right person for your company. I’ve tried to be multidisciplinary and turn my interests into a competitive advantage, and I’ve worked hard to not lose my specialization.
I was able to handle various editing tools related to broadcasting, such as video shooting skills, editing skills, and sound editing skills, as I went through a practical-oriented course of study. At that time, when I was producing school drama or helping film students with editing work, I got to communicate with friends from various majors and acquired core skills of each major, and I tried to take notes and utilize them to make them my own.
These skills, which include marketing expertise in addition to knowledge in broadcasting-related fields, I believe are well suited to your company’s vision as Korea’s largest comprehensive music company that oversees all aspects of the music industry. I would like to make the most of my career at your company as a person who can demonstrate my abilities in many ways, but who also constantly develops himself to become more competitive. I will continue to strive to become a person who can fulfill my duties with maximum efficiency and create new value. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.

 

Food and Beverage Marketing cover letter

Good afternoon, Mr. President. My name is ○○○. My academic career can be described as a sprint towards ‘creative’. As an advertising and public relations major, ‘creative’ was the word I heard the most, and it was through that word that my desire for something new, something creative, something that others hadn’t done, was created. I participated in many competitions and had many failures. Then I entered the Love Rural Campaign competition, and I won the competition with a video, a photo, and a line of copywriting that resonated with me. The concept of reviving something that we had forgotten because of familiarity was exactly what penetrated the hearts of the judges, and I won the first prize.
With a plethora of coffee shops and even more international brands taking over Korea’s market share, maybe the way for your company to stand out from the crowd is “a line of copywriting that resonates with your customers. I want to do marketing that clearly shows your company’s colors, and I have a lot of affection for your company as a Korean brand, and I want to do marketing that conveys the hearts of all the No. 1s, from the No. 1 barista in Korea, to the No. 1 coffee farm owner in Korea, to the No. 1 overseas sales team member who opened your first branch in China.
Upon joining the company, I will carefully analyze all of your company’s publicity, advertisements, promotions, events, promotions, etc. that have been conducted so far, as well as your competitors’ publicity strategies and status, so that I can become your passionate marketer who can market the taste of your coffee brilliantly. As a new marketer, I hope you will give me a chance to share my fresh ideas with you, thank you.

 

Marketing candidate cover letter

Good afternoon. My name is ○○○. While majoring in business administration, I actively sought out various external activities to find my interests. Through my external activities, I gained experience as a marketing assistant for many companies, and as I had the opportunity to work in the field, I was able to look at my major studies from a different perspective. In fact, I had a lot of discrepancies between what I was interested in and what I was not interested in from my childhood, but through my external activities, I realized these problems, and I grew a lot by actively trying to solve difficult problems. In particular, as I was able to apply the knowledge I learned in school in practice, I came to accept academics as my professional ability, not as an academic discipline, and I am applying to your company’s marketing field because I want to demonstrate my capabilities in the marketing field based on the experiences I have had so far.
As a marketing assistant for the parent company, I became a team leader and actively participated in external activities such as UCC filming and event support. I encountered many difficulties as I was exposed to things I had never encountered before, but I developed my problem-solving skills with the mindset that there was nothing I couldn’t do, and my team’s work was eventually selected as the best. I believe that this result is closely related to my spirit of challenge. Through my various experiences, I have learned the joy of challenging new fields and experiencing hard-won results through trial and error, which I hope to continue to experience at your company.
Now, I want to join your company, which has a vision to be the best in the LED field, and become a talented member of your company who will take on new challenges and make another achievement. I will work hard to bring my passion and problem-solving skills, which are constantly challenged, and the outstanding work results that result from them, to your company. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.

 

Marketing Personal Statement

Good afternoon. My name is ○○○. I was born in the countryside, but my father sent me to the city to study on my own. I spent my middle and high school years in a relative’s house and was far away from my parents, so I had to take responsibility for everything myself, and I developed a strong sense of responsibility for myself. Therefore, I completed my studies without any tardiness or absences, and I tried to show responsibility and sincerity in everything I did so that I would not fall short of my parents’ expectations, who believed in me.
I would never betray an opportunity given to me by someone who believed in me from a young age, and that’s because of the sense of responsibility that comes from living away from my parents. Therefore, if I join your company, I will be the kind of person who will demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility and reliability, and will always strive to never betray your trust. In addition, I have experience in various organizations where I have put my best foot forward. With this experience and sense of responsibility, I will strive to be an integral part of your organization’s goals.
As a marketing professional for your company, I would like to contribute to promoting your technical capabilities and building your corporate image. I have a strong confidence in the role of marketing, especially in the development of a single product, planning a branded product, and pinpointing the target audience. I hope that you will select me so that I can fully utilize my abilities and become a talented person who will bring benefits to your company. Thank you.

 

Marketing Planning cover letter

Good afternoon, Mr. President. My name is ○○○. As a cultural experience teacher at a multicultural center, I taught Korean food to immigrant women and learned that Korean food is not only about the taste, shape, and recipe, but also about many stories and history. As my interest in Korean food deepened, I was able to think about the true globalization of Korean food. In particular, your company’s signature product, kimchi, has already been recognized for its excellence and is recognized as a culture that combines complex and scientific recipes with Korean hospitality. I am applying because I want to join your marketing team as a storyteller to share the many stories of Korean food and kimchi with the world.
As an intern at the Korean Food Foundation during my college days, I was in charge of the Korean Food Foundation’s booth at the World Food Expo, which inspired me to study how to promote Korean food in a situation where it is not known worldwide, and I worked to promote Korean food by analyzing the current status of overseas restaurant operations and support, analyzing consumer needs, and conducting country-specific demand surveys. I believe that these experiences will help me to build a collaborative relationship with your company as a marketer in overseas marketing.
Market analysis and needs analysis are what I am most confident in, so I am more confident in marketing your Korean food overseas. I would like to act as a control tower to expand the distribution network and manage it so that all of your products can reach the tables of the world beyond Asia. Not only that, I would like to establish Korean food experiences and Korean cooking schools overseas, and train specialized training personnel to create Korean food that captivates the world’s taste buds.
I believe that the best marketing is not only about words, but also about showing and gaining the trust of consumers. I am a marketer whose feet are faster than my head, and I will do my best to make your products the center of the globalization of Korean food. Thank you.

 

Education (Marketing) cover letter

Hello, my name is ○○○. I am a challenging person who actively dives into the fields that interest me. Therefore, I have been exposed to various fields since my childhood and have been working on my personal development. Especially after entering university, I tried to acquire various skills related to my major, business administration. In addition to basic computer literacy, I have also acquired video editing and filming skills through making video assignments in the course of external activities. My greatest competitive advantage is my language skills. I had a desire to travel the world by improving my language skills, so I went to the Philippines for six months to study abroad, and while I was learning English, I also learned Japanese from my Japanese roommate.
I decided to go backpacking alone to gain a broader perspective on the culture, language, and society of each country, and I take great pride in the fact that I did everything on my own, from preparing to go backpacking to traveling. Although I faced some dangers as a solo female traveler and had my luggage stolen, traveling alone allowed me to meet many different people, develop my problem-solving skills, and become more mature and independent. These experiences also allow me to be proactive and take on challenges when faced with new opportunities and experiences.
I am an active and proactive person and have always taken on leadership roles, especially as a vice president of my department, which has helped me to develop my ability to be flexible in dealing with people. I hope to become a talented person who can help your company grow based on my proactive spirit and leadership. I hope that my competitiveness will be valuable to your company, and I will always develop myself within your company to become an expert in my field. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.
