Cover Letter

10/01/24, Factory Town / Live Nation, Miami, FL, Dear Hiring Manager, I am excited to apply for the Social Media Manager position at Factory Town, a role I have admired and anticipated since discussing it with Eric Litmonivich during Art Basel 2024. Having worked as Marketing Director for Arlington Toyota and built a career at the intersection of music, fashion, and live events, I believe I bring the perfect balance of strategic marketing leadership, hands-on content creation, and authentic cultural connection to thrive in this position. At Arlington Toyota, I led marketing campaigns that blended digital strategy, event partnerships, and community engagement, building measurable growth while managing creative teams. The responsibilities outlined in this role—developing social media calendars, leading cross-platform campaigns, creating buzz-worthy content, and optimizing analytics—are exactly what I mastered at Toyota, with the added passion that comes from my deep roots in the music and festival space. Since 2021, I have been directly involved in Factory Town events as a model and cultural collaborator, experiencing firsthand how your brand shapes Miami’s nightlife. My broader event work includes We Belong Here, Miami Music Week, Art Basel, and Formula 1 activations, where I’ve represented lifestyle brands and built strong industry connections, including with Insomniac’s Pascquale Rotella. I have also collaborated with Pur3 on projects with Yeezy, Rhude, Casablanca, and Tyla Yaweh, where I combined fashion and music to launch breakout campaigns. In addition to my strategic marketing background, I bring strong technical and creative skills. I am Meta Ads certified, proficient in Adobe Suite, Canva, CapCut, and Shopify, and trained on the DJI Pro 3 drone for dynamic video content. My network—including access to Mintroom Studios and other creative production resources—positions me to create high-quality shoots and innovative campaigns that amplify Factory Town’s brand. With a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and Administration (minor in HR) from the University of North Florida, I combine formal training with real-world industry expertise. What sets me apart is not only my skill set, but my passion: Factory Town is more than a venue to me—it represents the culture I live and breathe. This role is truly my dream job, blending my career achievements with my love for music, festivals, and community. I would be honored to bring my strategic vision, creative execution, and industry network to the Factory Town team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background and passion align with your goals for this role. Sincerely, Caya Sobota
