Marketing leaders want to see that you connect creative work to business outcomes. Pick one campaign, show the metric it moved, and explain what you learned.

Tips before you write

  • Tie campaigns to pipeline or revenue, not just impressions.
  • Show you can work with sales and product.
  • Reference the company's audience or positioning briefly.
  • Mention tools only where they matter to the role.

Dear Hiring Team, The most useful campaign I ran last year started with a sales complaint: our demos were full of people who weren't ready to buy. I rebuilt our webinar programme around customer-led sessions, tightened the follow-up sequence in HubSpot with sales, and over two quarters marketing-sourced pipeline grew 34% while demo no-shows dropped by a third. That focus on pipeline quality is why the Marketing Manager role at Tandem stood out to me. I've spent five years in B2B SaaS marketing, leading content, lifecycle email and paid search for products sold to operations teams. I'm comfortable owning a budget, briefing designers and writers, and reporting results to leadership in terms of pipeline and revenue rather than vanity metrics. I also work closely with product marketing; at my current company I co-wrote the messaging framework we still use for launches. I'm hands-on with analytics: I set up our attribution reporting, run A/B tests on landing pages and email subject lines, and I'm candid when an experiment doesn't work. Last year I shut down a paid channel that looked busy but produced almost no qualified pipeline, and moved the budget into partner webinars. Tandem's audience of finance and operations leaders is close to the buyers I market to today, and I have ideas about how a practitioner-led content series could support your next launch. I'd be glad to share examples of the webinar programme and the reporting we built around it. Thank you for considering my application. Kind regards, Priya Shah
