Dear K2 Marketing Inc.,
I am writing to you with reference to the Event Representative job posting within your organization. I am seeking the
opportunity to continue my professional career in Public Relations and would like to offer my candidacy for this
position.
Marketing communication, social media, and objective writing are my passions and areas of expertise. Not only are
these my passions, but also I believe these skills are the foundation for any public relations professional. These well-
developed skills, combined with my enthusiasm and hard work ethic, would make me an excellent asset to your team.
On successfully obtaining an Ontario Diploma in Public Relations with high honours, I was selected out of multiple PR
interns to continue to contribute my skills and expertise as a Public Relations and Marketing Assistant at Grand River
Shows. I was part of a small team that successfully plans multiple consumer shows in the Waterloo Region by
implementing appropriate communication strategies and marketing campaigns.
I contributed to the overall success of Grand River Shows by offering strong writing skills, an in-depth ability to use
various social media platforms, and utilizing other specialized skills that I have obtained from the Public Relations
program I recently graduated from.
If you are seeking an employee to join your team with well-developed interpersonal skills, an enormous capacity for
work, and a creative flair; I would love to arrange a one-on-one appointment to present my portfolio. I believe I would
be a valuable employee for K2 Marketing Inc. and look forward to your response and an opportunity to discuss my
candidature further. I have enclosed my resume for your perusal.
Should you require any additional information or need a clarification on information listed above or in my resume,
please to not hesitate to call.
Respectfully yours,
Brin Farrell
