Dear Hiring Manager,
As a proficient content writer and editor, I’ve engaged with enough fans online to fill the world’s biggest stadiums. My goal is to strengthen the bond between Slalom, its clients, and the people impacted by these partnerships, combining a proven portfolio with Slalom’s appetite for detailed storytelling.
At Warner Music Group and IMGN Media, I established Daquan and The Savage Post as cutting-edge news outlets covering diverse corners of pop culture. Standout examples include an interactive email newsletter sent to 10,000 subscribers and numerous articles and interviews focused on influential artists and brands.
Having honed skills in editorial and agency environments, I’m exceptional in three areas relevant to the role of Senior Content Writer:
1) Gaining Attention: Catchy storylines, scriptwriting, and video edits rocketed my Snapchat channel from zero to 110,000 organic followers in less than a year.
2) Creating Connection: Whether translating conversations around celebrity products into viral content, or telling the stories of notable creators for the 35th anniversary of Adobe Photoshop, I understand how to engage viewers across categories.
3) Informed Writing: Collaborating on partner articles with Atlantic Records, Apex Legends, The MSU Hatch, and Zebra Technologies gave me an understanding of how to create compelling copy while weaving in data and key messaging.
I would love to learn more about Slalom’s goals and demonstrate how I can make a significant impact as part of your team.
Thank you for your consideration,
Gerard
