Dear hiring team,

I understand that the central requirement for this Marketing role is connecting audience insight, positioning, channel choices, campaign execution, and attribution to commercial decisions. I am interested in marketing that earns attention by understanding the audience and can explain why a channel or message deserves continued investment.

As Senior Marketing Manager, I held both execution and review responsibility. As workstream lead, I compared acquisition campaigns using attribution windows, audience overlap, and incremental revenue. I recalculated ROI after refunds and agency fees before reallocating the channel budget.

Within that same senior scope, I also owned the following work. With responsibility for the review standard, I ran creative testing with a stated hypothesis and conversion event, keeping audience and spend comparable. I used campaign results to distinguish a stronger message from a cheaper but lower-intent audience.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the decisions and delivery I owned, and how I could apply that experience in this role.

Sincerely,

J. Lee
