Dear Mr. Jones,
I have a strong background in planning events like product launches and corporate retreats from my time as a Production Intern at Industria Creative. My duties included researching potential venues, considering the venue’s accommodation size, availability, surrounding foot traffic, and demographics. I regularly communicated my findings and recommendations both verbally and in writing to the team. I helped plan and source nine different events, boosting revenues and increasing our client portfolio by 18%. This experience will allow me to help plan events for MSF’s public outreach.
I gained solid marketing experience as a Marketing and Development Intern at Back on My Feet. I wrote Facebook and Twitter posts for the non-profit, reaching over 15,000 people on both platforms. My job also included creating newsletter articles and outreach documents that were sent to over 100,000 donors to support end-of-year fundraising efforts. My efforts helped contribute to 42% of total revenues for 2015. I have a strong understanding of MSF’s public outreach mission and marketing needs.
My business education, combined with my experience in event planning and marketing, make me a strong candidate for the Public Events Internship. My resume is enclosed. I look forward to hearing from you to further discuss this opportunity and how my skills and experience can fit your needs. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Mary Smith
