To whom may concern,
My name is Joseph Renza. I graduated from The University of Scranton in May 2015 with a B.A. in Strategic
Communications. In addition, I completed concentrations in Public Relations and Broadcasting, while minoring
in Athletic Coaching.
I am seeking a position in the communications/marketing industry, and my interest and past experiences of
being a liaison between an organization and the public leads me to believe I would thrive in this environment.
I have held positions that have given me the opportunity to directly work with the public to facilitate deals with
a client throughout the past few years. Under my leadership, The University of Scranton Men's hockey Team
and The University of Scranton Chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) have seen
a drastic change in direction looking toward the future. With me leading the way, both organizations have seen
an increase in enrollment by more than 300%. In addition, my unique recruitment tactics have been adapted by
three additional organizations on campus. Nothing makes me as happy as lending a hand to make a difference
no matter the size in an organization.
Coming from various positions in the sports industry, I have learned how to compete. I worked my way into a
position with Major League Baseball (the 13th most sought out internship in the world that summer) with a
resume that had nothing more than a camp counselor position on it. My passion and drive to succeed defines
who I am today, and I have grown from that first internship. Major League Baseball made an immediate
decision to hire me back as an entry-level employee, and have since promoted me to a Coordinator position,
where I overlook up to 15 employees on a nightly basis. I made the transition from an entry-level position to my
current position by being the best at my job. Out of a pool of 35 baseball and hockey loggers, I was chosen for
the promotion.
The measurement of my success with the New York Rangers solely depends on how well I market the Rangers
brand to the public. I promote social media initiatives to the public and collect data on how well people respond.
The New York Rangers, an Original Six organization in the National Hockey League (NHL), markets to its fan
base all over the country, but mainly in the tri-state area. Employees are held to the highest standard, and my
team is making a name for itself with the marketing we perform.
I have included my professional resume with this application. Please feel free to contact me for any further
information or clarifications you may need and to set up an interview. I thank you in advance for your
consideration and I look forward to speaking with you soon regarding an interview.
Sincerely,
Joseph Renza
