About me

Dear Madame/Sir,

My CV is enclosed in the application package for your consideration. I believe that my skills and related experience would provide an ideal match for this job opening and I would appreciate your consideration.

My expertise and knowledge are aligned with the areas of advertising and communication. As such, I believe that the multitude of exciting and innovative projects undertaken by the Company will allow me to be part of an integral team while showcasing and expanding my diverse skill-set.

In my latest employment and for a period of six years I served the role of Advertising & Communication Manager for Montblanc in Greece. In that position, my main responsibility was the promotion and adaptation of the brand image in the totality of written press in Greece. This posed the challenge of integrating the classic principles of the brand with the unique aspects of the Greek market.

Continuing, I was also responsible for managing and allocating the budget in order to maximize the impact of the brand while respecting the bounds of the company's fiscal year.

Moreover, given my professional desire to have a complete and uniform approach in the promotion of the company's brand, I prepared all the events and shows that the brand participated in and disseminated all pertinent information such as press releases to journalists, photographic material and other in order to ensure the advertising coverage of the company.

As the Advertising & Communication Manager I facilitated and streamlined a horizontal communication between departments within the company. For example, I was closely involved with the graphic design department for the adaptation of the advertising campaign to Greek standards that included not only strategic concepts, but also their manifestation into high quality print material such as templates and brochures that targeted individual stores and local markets.

Also, in cooperation with the finance department we jointly decided for the budget of the brand presentation, which involved introducing the product at the renewal of the stores' windows as well as ordering new furniture and the seasonal decoration.

Finally, I was fortunate to have also had the opportunity to be an integral member of the team for the brand's 100th year anniversary. This was a challenging, but extremely valuable experience as I was responsible for promoting the brand in a multitude of singular events including the opening of the new boutique in Athens, special campaigns and collectibles.

I believe that my strong background combined with my communication abilities make me an ideal candidate for a position where I will be able to create strong relationships with the clients and complete a team that organizes, delivers, and makes decisions.

I welcome the opportunity to visit with you about this position and showcase how my skills and abilities can benefit the company. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Faithfully,

Elsie Nicolaou
