About me

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to you as I am keenly interested in your Marketing and Events Manager position. As a highly organised and enthusiastic professional with several years of experience orchestrating successful events, I am confident I have the experience that would significantly contribute to the success of your team's objectives.

As a Senior Event Coordinator at Surgeons Quarter, the role entailed managing and leading the events team by ensuring that revenue was maximised and events ran smoothly across all venues. I have overseen all aspects of the event planning, organisation and executing of a multitude of diverse events. Furthermore, I was responsible for the development of client relationships in order to maintain and increase business opportunities. While working on events, I have obtained numerous skills including team player and time-management skills, along with the ability to work on my own initiative. Additionally, I am highly capable of using Excel and various databases.

My background includes: excellent experience identifying an organisation's requirements; securing venues and suppliers; liaising with speakers and sponsors; driving traditional and online marketing efforts to maximise attendance and ensure guest satisfaction. Coupled with my expertise in handling day-of event responsibilities, is my commitment to ensuring post-event evaluation efforts to determine best practices. Moreover, my established success in leading venue negotiations and administering event budgets has prepared me to make a significant contribution in this role.

The enclosed résumé provides further details of events I have helped manage which range from large-scale international festivals to intimate meetings.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Fiona O'Keeffe
