Creative Director, Sr. Copywriter, Content Creator

WHO IS DEREK HARJU?

Greetings New Employer! Enjoy This Cover Letter.

I'm thrilled to offer my experience as a copywriter, content creator, creative director, marketing strategist, and digital Swiss Army Knife to your team. With 20+ years of enterprise-level experience in creative and marketing fields, my vast abilities, focused drive, and exceptional results have fostered growth for everyone from global tech titans (Cisco Systems, MSN, Centific Global, more) to thought leaders and NYT Bestselling Authors (Rich Dad Poor Dad.)

While my previous titles reflect a mastery of copy and content, I also bring top-tier acumen in design, animation, video and audio production, team and project/product management, and go-to-market strategies. If it’s creative and human-centric, you can count on me to deliver well beyond expectations (even in previously unexplored subject matter.)

WHAT SETS DEREK HARJU APART?

I possess an innate ability to act as a force multiplier, inspiring teams to excel and facilitating collaboration that generates innovative ideas and impactful marketing strategies, simplifying complex concepts, energizing audiences, and aligning teams with company missions and vision. I’ve been fortunate to be given firsthand opportunities to fulfill the needs of global organizations, renowned individuals, startups, and community groups. Whether redesigning best-selling board games, taking YouTube channels from 1400 to 1.4 Million subscribers, or establishing entirely new industry categories and org-wide relabeling for established brands, no matter the task, I put my whole self into whatever challenge is before me.
