Dear Hiring Professional,

It is with a great deal of enthusiasm, that I write to you today to submit my career

qualifications for consideration as a candidate for your Account Supervisor position.

I fully understand a brand and how to grow and protect it. I am a keen listener and a

concise communicator. I believe that the best marketing teams bring together smart,

motivated, tuned in people, with no static layers, to tackle a project . I am used to being

the main client contact on projects and I enjoy being fully engaged in the entire creative

and production process, from initial pitch to final deliverable. I believe in a creative brief

and a production schedule. It keeps the agency and client true to their common goal

throughout the creative and production process.

I am well versed in all media applications and the production demands associated with

print, radio, television, video, web and social media. I have extensive experience

negotiating with and managing outside vendors in order to bring jobs in on time and on

budget. I believe that open communication between client and agency regarding budget

is essential, with financial tracking and reporting performed start to finish on each

project.

I am sought out and respected among my clients, peers, and vendors because I am fair,

reliable, and honest in my dealings with people. I always have a bit of humor handy to

keep spirits high, and most importantly, I understand and value the time and assets of

the people that I work with.

My resume and a partial list of clients I’ve had the pleasure of working with follow on

the next two pages. I hope you enjoy the read.

I look forward to having an opportunity to present myself to you in person in the near

future.

Sincerely,

Linda Tuke
