Sample cover letter for Internship position at Disney

Dear ___,

I am a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania, and I am very interested the position of Integrated Marketing Intern for the Disney ABC Television Group. I have always been interested in working at a company like Disney, so I found this opportunity through the Disney Careers website. The Walt Disney Company produces stories that touch the minds and hearts of countless people, and I would love to be a part of such an exciting group.

Throughout my academic career, I have developed an interest in marketing and public relations. The summer before last, I interned at an international nonprofit organization in Shanghai. My position entailed cold calling hundreds of corporate representatives and managing website media for an international conference. The position required me to have strong communications skills, be proficient in using Microsoft Office, and utilize social media. I was also able to apply my experience with image editing tools and my familiarity with Chinese to assist the organization in publicizing their large-scale event.

I believe my other leadership experiences are also relevant to the position. I worked with a local community newspaper for three years, which allowed me to develop a strong writing ability. As the editor-in-chief, I improved my management skills as well. As the fundraising commissioner in another student organization, I often brainstormed ideas for events to raise money, which required creativity and organization. At the same time, I served as the president of a student club. I frequently coordinated workshops and social events, which helped me develop interpersonal skills. Overall, these experiences led me to become a better team player and a more well rounded person.

The Walt Disney Company emphasizes an engaging and rewarding work environment, a philosophy that is very appealing to me. Digital media design is a hobby of mine, and I am familiar with software such as Photoshop, Premier, and iMovie. I can’t imagine a better place to apply that passion, or a more inspiring workplace. With my enthusiasm and experience, I firmly believe that I will be a good fit in Disney’s innovative environment.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
