Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the Marketing Coordinator position at Northwind Outdoor Co. Your role centers on email, social media, and community events for an outdoor gear retailer, which closely matches the work I have done for the past three years.
From 2023 to 2026, I worked as a Marketing Assistant at Cedar & Pine Outfitters. There I wrote and scheduled four email campaigns a month for a list of 12,000 subscribers. Your posting calls for weekly email campaigns, and I am accustomed to planning, writing, and sending on a steady schedule for a large audience.
On social media, I grew the company's Instagram account from 3,100 to 7,800 followers by publishing a weekly trail photo series. The approach was simple: consistent posting, content drawn from real time outdoors, and attention to what readers responded to. I would bring the same discipline to your Instagram and Facebook channels.
I have also helped plan community events. At Cedar & Pine, I ran a spring gear swap with six local shops, and about 400 people attended. That project taught me how to coordinate with outside partners and turn an idea into an event people show up for. It is relevant to the in-store and community events you describe.
I hold a B.A. in Communications from Oregon State University, which I completed in 2023. My coursework and my professional writing have given me a clear, practical style that suits both email copy and social posts. I also enjoy the outdoors, and that interest shapes the content I create.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience could support Northwind Outdoor Co. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, Maya Lindqvist
