About me
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I would like to apply for the senior copywriter position.
With more than six years of journalism and copywriting experience across a range of disciplines, I believe I have the skills and knowledge required for this job.
Currently, I am employed as a copywriter and account manager for a digital marketing agency dealing mainly with small and medium size businesses across a range of industries, including the technology sector.
This position involved designing and implementing marketing strategies and creating a wide range of material including website copy, videos, emails and large-scale reports.
I also have extensive experience as a commercial copywriter working for clients including a Syrian antiques dealer to a private equity company.
My journalism experience is equally varied and has involved covering business, finance, entertainment and sport for numerous online and print publications.
Many of these positions, particularly those involving marketing and personal finance news, required using a conversational tone of voice and simplifying complicated and industry specific jargon into understandable language.
A significant proportion of my work has been carried out on a freelance basis, which can be a very demanding environment.
This is because it involves high-levels of motivation and organisation to not only keep a steady stream of work, but to ensure deadlines are hit and all contracts are completed to a consistently high standard.
It also requires the ability to think of new ideas to make your pitches stand out from the crowd and attract new clients.
Building strong and lasting client relationships has also been a significant part of my work, particularly during my time at Digital Lighthouse and News4Media where I was solely responsible managing my client base.
I have also built up wide-ranging experience of multimedia and photography, again in both journalism and commercial setting.
As a journalist I was responsible for providing images to accompany articles and I have also written and helped produce a wide range of multimedia content.
This has included creating YouTube adverts and website videos for small businesses to promotional material for some of London's top hotels and Macmillan Cancer Research.
Multimedia is a particularly important area as the way people consume information has changed significantly over the past decade.
If you have any questions about my experience or would like copies of my work please do not hesitate to get in contact and I am available for interviews at any time.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Colin Rowe
