What to put on a marketing CV
Marketing is about getting the right message to the right people, and your CV is the first campaign an employer sees from you. This marketing CV template uses cream paper ruled into an editorial grid, with your name running up the side in huge type and a black-and-white photo block above your skills and contact details. It suits marketing assistants and executives, and content, social media and brand roles.
The photo is optional, and a monogram shows in the block if you leave it out. It comes in cream, grey and green. Fill it in and preview every page for free, with no account needed. Pay £4.99 once to download it as PDF and Word, with a matching cover letter included. It is A4, laid out for UK applications, with real, selectable text and no subscription.
Back up your work with results
Employers want to know what your marketing achieved. Under each role, give the campaign or channel, what you did and the outcome, using your own figures where you have them, such as growth in email sign-ups or a lower cost per lead.
List your channels and tools
Use the skills panel for the channels you know, such as email, paid social, SEO, content or events, and the tools you use, such as Google Analytics, a CRM or an email platform. Keep each item short and true.
Write your profile like good copy
Your profile is a short piece of copywriting, so treat it like one. In three or four lines, say what kind of marketer you are, the sectors you know and what you want next. Cut the clichés and keep to one clear message.
Link to examples of your work
If you write, design or run social accounts, add a link to a portfolio, blog or campaign examples in your contact details. Check every link works and that nothing confidential from a past employer is on show.
Use the words from the advert
Marketing job titles vary a lot from one company to the next. Read each advert, use its terms where they truly describe your experience, and tailor your top bullets for every application. Keep the whole CV to two sides of A4.
Questions
What should a marketing CV include?
Your contact details, a short profile, your experience with results under each role, a skills section covering channels and tools, and your education and any professional qualifications, such as a CIM course. Add a link to examples of your work if you have them, and leave out your age and date of birth.
How do I write a marketing CV with no experience?
Start with your education, any marketing modules or projects, and work you have done for clubs, societies, a family business or your own social accounts. Show what you made and what happened, such as a page that grew its following. A short online course or certificate can help too.
Should a marketing CV be creative?
It can show some personality, as marketing is a creative field, but it still needs to be quick to read. A clear structure, a confident profile and results in plain words matter more than decoration. This template gives you an editorial look while keeping the content easy to follow.
Do I need a photo on a marketing CV?
No. Most UK employers do not expect a photo, and many prefer none. The photo block on this template is optional, and a monogram shows in its place if you leave it out, so the grid still looks complete.
