How to write a creative cover letter
A creative cover letter is voice-led, with an opener distinctive enough to signal how you think before you name the role. Keep the structure ATS-safe even when the voice is bold: single column, real text, no graphics. In the first body paragraph, prove the craft with one specific story, project, or piece of work, such as the campaign or piece you would show first in a portfolio, not an abstract claim about being creative. In the second, connect that craft to what the company is making or saying right now, which shows you did the homework. Close warm and confident, asking for the next step. For design, copywriting, content, and brand roles, the letter is itself a work sample, so the writing has to earn the job it describes. One strong, specific detail beats a page of adjectives.
