Dear Hiring Director,

I am highly interested in a position with your company in a creative and marketing communications capacity where I can use my extensive marketing and business knowledge to help advance the growth and continued success of your company.

I am an Award-Winning Creative Director and Brand Marketing Strategist with 30+ years experience. For the past seventeen years, I have been the owner and Creative Director of Epicenter Marketing and Advertising, a full service ad agency based in San Diego. My professional expertise encompasses all aspects of marketing including creative direction, strategic brand positioning, marketing project management, executive account management, sales & business development, and marketing consultation. I have worked in virtually every industry, using every medium from traditional to digital marketing with accounts ranging from local to international in scope. This unique experience allows me to bring a full-spectrum vision and the ability to create success in every initiative, from concept to completion. After recently working as an in-house marketing consultant with one of my largest clients, I realized that I truly enjoy focusing my talents on the creative and strategic process instead of diversifying my time with the many intricacies of running a business. Therefore, I have recently accepted an offer to sell my business to a fellow associate.

My experience as an entrepreneur will be an invaluable addition to your company, as I am sensitive to the bottom line fiscal responsibilities of every project and see the big picture, always prioritizing the most critical and profitable ROI of each marketing effort. I have a talent for building strong teams that are motivated and effective at accomplishing the objectives at hand and developing campaigns that are fresh, relevant and successful. I am confident I will make an immediate and sustainable impact on your organization. After reviewing my résumé, I hope we can have a personal meeting to discuss your upcoming business goals and how I can help you achieve them. I am excited to learn more about what opportunities we can create together. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,

Jeffrey R. Detrick
