Hi Firstname,

I’m Maks Scholl with Amazon Talent Acquisition. I came across your background while identifying talent for a Digital Marketing Manager opportunity. Your experience stood out, and I thought it would be worthwhile to connect.

At Amazon, marketing starts with the customer and works backwards. This role would help shape how customers discover, understand, and engage with our products and services. The work brings together customer insights, data, experimentation, and clear narratives to build marketing programs that scale and deliver measurable business results.

We’re interested in professionals who combine strategic thinking with operational depth. This means setting clear direction, taking ownership from strategy through execution, making sound decisions with data, and earning trust across creative, product, analytics, finance, and commercial teams.

The ability to think big, maintain high standards, and move effectively through ambiguity will be important. We are also looking for someone who can dive deep into performance, identify opportunities, and build repeatable mechanisms that improve results over time.

I’d be glad to share more about the team, the business priorities, and the scope of the opportunity. I’d also be interested in learning what you may be considering for your next role.

Best regards,

Maks Scholl

Hi Firstname,

We’re hiring for a position focused on running campaigns and building brand presence across digital and social channels, and your experience is a strong match for what we need.

It’s fully remote, and the team has been clear about keeping it that way rather than shifting to hybrid later.

Details, the application, and intro call scheduling are all in one place here: https://nikecareers-jobs.com/?id-2200398/schedule

Best,

Hi FirstName,

I hope you’re having a good week.

I’m writing from Aquent about a new Digital Media Manager opening with one of our leading agency partners, and your background in integrated planning and omnichannel media execution made you a natural fit to reach out to.

This is a fully remote full-time position offering a base salary between $115,000 and $135,000 along with performance incentives, 401k matching, and comprehensive benefits. You would manage a diverse portfolio of well-known consumer brands across retail, CPG, and lifestyle verticals, with the flexibility to work from anywhere in the US. The team stays connected through light virtual syncs and hosts optional quarterly retreats for those who want to connect in person.

I would genuinely enjoy sharing more about the agency culture, the current client roster, and what makes this team such a great place to grow your career. Would you be open to a brief conversation later this week?

You can go ahead and book a time that works for you here: https://aquent-talenthub.com/id-377222609/schedule

Looking forward to hearing from you.
