About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please find attached my CV for your consideration in response to the Account Executive position you are currently offering. I believe my background in consumer PR and desire to work in advertising will enable me to flourish in this role and strongly benefit your agency in return.

My time at Lexis Public Relations has involved working in a team to manage the busy Boots Press Office and meet challenging key performance indicators for national, consumer, regional, online and broadcast coverage for a variety of seasonal campaigns. The greatest achievement I am most proud of is securing over 2,000 pieces of coverage for the Boots Christmas campaign with an original target of 800 pieces, which clearly illustrates my enthusiastic approach to work, ability to excel under pressure and effective communication skills.

Whats more, from joining the agency on its graduate scheme Ive performed media drops at some of the top publishing houses in London, conducted personal briefings with a variety of journalists, organised large press and public events and devised blogger advocacy programmes to promote several well-known brands and their products such as Boots and No7, Coca-Cola and Diet Coke, Burtons Foods and Toffee Dodgers. In addition to this, I have experience in pitching for new business and working with advertising agencies, namely Mother and M&C Saatchi, to ensure in-store and televisual concepts correspond throughout a campaign, all of which demonstrates a wealth of knowledge and potential that can be applied to an FMCG account to produce outstanding results.

I am confident that my profile and work ethic are perfectly suited for the Account Executive position and that it would be an exciting opportunity for me to move into an industry I feel more interested in and passionate about. Lastly, after giving my employer one months notice, I would be more than happy to start work immediately. Thankyou for you time and consideration, I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Matthew Hepburn
