About me

Dear Purple,

I am fascinated to find out that you are currently offering an Account Planner vacancy, and on further reading of this prospect I decided that I should apply for this opportunity, as I am committed to learning from an innovative and established company; one that I with respect and adore for their work within Media Industry. With this said, please accept this cover letter, alongside my attached CV, as my application for your position consideration.

Throughout my previous employment I have gained invaluable skills that make me a perfect candidate for this role, such as:

- Strong written/email communication skills - In my current role I constantly communicate via email and over the phone to colleagues, clients and media owners to discuss briefs, resolving issues they may have or just helping with general enquires. This is an essential part of my day-to-day job - due to constant usage of this skill set I am fully confident and able to handle any aspect of written/verbal communication this role has to offer.

- Strong Powerpoint skills - Using Powerpoint is second nature to me. Throughout university and my line of work I have had to present on a weekly basis. An example of my strong presentation skill is when I had to present a presentation at university a campaign I designed to help improve Nissan's ROIs and Brands Presents. My response consisted of an experiential element to increase word of mouth, supported by an audience lead Out Of Home advertising campaign target an ABC1 audience at various commuting hours using various digital rail formats.

- Excel knowledge - I use Excel daily to collate site lists for clients, create pivot tables and graphs which we use to analyse data; as well as for mathematical equations and managing budgets.

- Time management - Everyday at my current role I work towards tight deadlines. In order to be as effective and efficient as possible I have to manage expectations by setting goals and aims in accordance to when I should achieve deadlines by. To help me do so I use my electronic diary and calendar to set reminders and notifications; this helps me to be organised but also keep on top of my workload.

I have a sound knowledge of Media industry and have showed my passion towards this role by gaining valuable experience from Adam and Eve DDB and one of the UK's top OOH agency Posterscope. As well as working at leading ad agencies, I have also had the opportunity to work for Levi's marketing team, which has given me the insight to how things operate from a client perceptive.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss this amazing opportunity, and I hope to soon meet in person.

Kind Regards,

Banki Akinsulire
