Communications Officer (Public Relations) Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently led a public relations push that significantly shifted how our community viewed [Company Name] before a major policy change. We mapped media targets, coordinated a 6-week information campaign, and worked with the executive team to craft clear responses under pressure. The result was a steady stream of accurate coverage and a public sentiment shift that helped us avoid drawn-out controversy. I’ve got solid experience in strategic comms, media relations and event planning that fits this role. I’m comfortable developing campaigns, managing stakeholder engagement, and commissioning research to guide messages. I’ve used newsroom styles, social and traditional channels, and worked with internal teams to keep messaging consistent across all touchpoints. At [Previous Company], I coordinated a multi-channel program around a sensitive issue, organising briefings with journalists, drafting press releases, and preparing executives for interviews. We tracked public opinion weekly and adjusted tactics quickly, which kept our team aligned and staff informed as events evolved. It was a practical exercise in turning insights into targeted communications. I’d welcome the chance to discuss how my approach could support [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and can share more detail on how I plan to contribute from day one. Kind regards, [Your Name]
