Don’t spend too much time on it. People team does not forward them to hiring managers. 🤷‍♀️

Okay, let me be more specific: the people team at VML does not forward cover letters to hiring managers or interviewers. We get the resume, portfolio link and writing samples.

It most likely won't hurt you but it is very unlikely to help. Just being honest. Could be different at small companies though, but in bigger ones the hiring manager is very unlikely to ever see it.

So- we run Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) for our clients display ads in a feed and corresponding google sheet via Google DoubleClick. My q is- does anyone know what systems out there allow for creating a template that will automatically pull a product image from say Target.com and automatically building the ad & copy without manually making 1000 ads via row for row in the google sheet? I know this is possible but curious if Sizmek or Flashtalking are more common in this type of creative development.
