Why each paragraph is there

  1. I am applying for the Campaign Manager role at Moorland Outdoor. I have four years' experience in an online retailer's in-house marketing team, running paid search, paid social and email for a home and garden range.

    The role, and the channels you run.

  2. I manage a £15,000 monthly paid media budget and cut our cost per sale by 22% in a year by moving spend to the searches that convert and testing new creative every fortnight. I also worked with our SEO agency to rewrite 120 category pages, and organic traffic to them rose by a third.

    Budget and two results, with what you did to get them.

  3. I plan and send a weekly email to 60,000 subscribers and test subject lines and send times, and I report results to our ecommerce manager every week. I walk in the Dales most weekends and would enjoy marketing products I use.

    Email and reporting, then a genuine reason for this brand.

  4. I hold the Google Ads search certification. My CV is attached. Thank you for considering my application.

    A certification the advert asks for, and the CV.
