Media Relations Manager Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, As I look to join [Company Name] as a Media Relations Manager, I bring practical experience shaping how organisations speak to the public. In my last role at [Previous Company], I directly managed the media calendar for a busy portfolio and coordinated responses that kept us on message during a major crisis. We tracked 5 national outlets weekly, and I kept coverage balanced across sectors. This hands-on work gives me a steady approach to pitching, briefing spokespeople, and keeping teams aligned. I focus on solid relationship management and clear, concise communication. I am comfortable directing spokesperson training, drafting talking points, and organising media briefings. My aim is to make every interaction efficient and credible, so journalists hear what matters and leaders stay confident when they speak publicly. I am interested in how [Company Name] builds its external voice and how I can contribute to that through practical processes and reliable media flow. One practical example comes from a high-profile product launch where I coordinated media outreach across regional markets. We prioritised reporters with the most relevance to our audience and structured the story so it fit their coverage needs. The result was a noticeable uptick in quality coverage, and significantly improved readiness of spokespeople under tight deadlines. It was about steady planning and real-time collaboration rather than big, abstract plans. I am available for a conversation about how I can support your team. I can meet for a coffee chat or a quick call to discuss next steps and how my approach could fit [Company Name]. Kind regards, [Your Name]
