Has anyone been turned down after an interview. Then reached out again to the hiring manager to try to fight for the position? If so, what did you do and did you get the position?

What? How would that work? Why would they even take that call? I’d send a note saying you really were hoping for it, Reiterating why you’d be an asset and saying that if for any reason they changed their mind you’d jump at the chance. That’s as low as I’d go.
If someone called me after I chose another candidate and tried to argue me into changing my mind I’d not even consider them if the other offer fell through. I’d be totally weirded out.

That is how I got my last job. I messaged the creative director because they said I didn't have as much experience as they wanted. I was in town and asked to take them out to coffee. At the end of coffee they said I could freelance at some point. Two weeks later I emailed them to say I was going to be in town if they needed at on site work, they gave me what really amounted to being a copy/concept test disguised as a pitch they were working on. After it was over they asked to hire me full time and I was there for 3 years

There's no shame in it if you have no shame, and you work in a field that requires it, so why not?

Not sure. I probably wouldn't at this level and function because it may be more about personality fit. Maybe give us a bit more context so we can give a more informed advice but as stated, it doesn't seem like a good move/worth it. Now, when it comes to situations like the copywriter above, I think that's exactly how it should be approached. For OP at this stage I'd say, send a nice note to let them know you'd love to stayin touch and to contact you if future opportunities arise. Then I'd email them to network / meet for coffee in like 3 months.
