External Communications Manager Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years shaping external messaging for complex campaigns, and at [Previous Company] I helped align comms across media, regulators and community groups. In one year, we reached 12 million digital impressions with a clear, consistent brand voice across all channels. I’m looking to bring that approach to [Company Name] and help us speak with confidence to stakeholders while keeping the brand core intact. My background fits external communications, stakeholder engagement and brand voice management. I work closely with corporate affairs, marketing and product teams to translate strategy into accessible updates for diverse audiences. I’m comfortable with media briefings, investor relations touchpoints and public engagement events, and I keep clear records so the team can reuse effective content quickly. A concrete example from my time at [Previous Company] shows the value I bring. We faced mixed sentiment around a policy change, so I mapped key audiences, prepared a simple explanation, and deployed a concise update across email, social and the website. The result was more consistent feedback, fewer escalations and significantly improvedpublic trust metrics over three months. I’m available to discuss how we can map a practical external comms plan for [Company Name]. If you’d like to chat, I’m happy to pencil in a time to talk through priorities and timing. Kind regards, [Your Name]
