Sample cover letter for Internship position at NY Magazine

Dear Ms. Smith,

I am writing this cover letter to express my interest in the marketing internship at New York Magazine. Currently, I am a junior at Fordham University majoring in Communications and Media Studies, with experience in branding and population outreach. As this position requires multi-platform marketing experience, social media management, and event re-cap compilation, I am confident that I would be an excellent fit.

As the Social Media Intern at AOL Games, I have been involved with multi-platform marketing from concept development to creative execution. During the early stages of rebranding, I pitched ideas for the website redesign based on blog and fan forum feedback. As a member of Fashion for Philanthropy (FFP), I oversee and contribute to all of its new social media initiatives, including the FFP Facebook and Twitter account. Finally, as a Public Relations Volunteer for the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival, I compiled re-caps, reviews and press coverage for several large-scale events coordinated with featured film directors.

New York Magazine consistently produces some of the most advanced marketing campaigns in the publishing world. Its tremendous online success and use of social media is particularly inspiring, as demonstrated through the popular blogs, TheCut and Grub Street, among others. It would be an honor to contribute to the marketing efforts of such an innovative publication.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my candidacy.

Sincerely,
