Cover letter

Why I'm applying and what I bring

Dear hiring team,

My name is Soufiane DERGOUN. I am 27, based in Aït Melloul, Morocco, and I am actively looking for a full-time role in digital marketing. I am not browsing casually: I want to join a team where research, analytics, and execution matter every week, not only during campaign launches.

I studied economics and commercial management at Université Ibn Zohr, then earned a Licence and a Master's in Digital Marketing at Universiapolis in Agadir. I am now completing an online MBA at Augment.org while building the Nullstep project, a live product that combines marketing strategy, UX, and AI-assisted execution. That mix taught me to think like a marketer and ship like a builder.

What motivates me is turning uncertainty into a plan. Before spending budget, I want to know who the audience is, what they compare you against, and which message earns attention. I use Google Analytics, campaign reports, competitor reviews, and structured research to answer those questions. Then I translate the answers into landing pages, ad sets, content, and tests that can be measured honestly.

My internships at Ecowatt Maroc and Ajicod Agency grounded that mindset in real Moroccan markets: solar energy B2C, SMB clients, social campaigns, content, and client websites. I learned agency rhythm, stakeholder updates, and how to keep quality when timelines are tight.

The Nullstep project is my proof that I can own a full funnel: positioning, copy, design direction, on-page SEO, and a working product experience. That is where I applied SEO in practice, building on Semrush and Google training rather than internship work. I share it because it shows initiative, accountability, and comfort with tools beyond a single channel.

I am open to relocating within Morocco or moving to France for the right team. I communicate professionally in Arabic and English, and I am improving my French for day-to-day work. If your role values curiosity, clear reporting, and someone who will learn your stack quickly, I would welcome a conversation.

Strengths

What I bring to your team

  • Analytics and reporting

    Google Analytics, campaign dashboards, and honest readouts. I focus on what to do next, not vanity metrics.

  • Audience and market research

    Competitor audits, offer mapping, and behavior patterns before creative or media spend moves.

  • Performance and SEO basics

    Meta Ads, Google Ads fundamentals, landing page structure, and on-page SEO learned through certifications and applied on the marketing site for the Nullstep project.

  • Content and UX writing

    Headlines, email copy, and in-product messaging shaped by user intent and conversion logic.

  • Product-minded execution

    Built the Nullstep project end to end: brand narrative, funnel, and live app surfaces that must convert.

  • Continuous learning

    Ten verified credentials across Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Semrush, and Anthropic.

Role fit

What I'm looking for

I am targeting a full-time position where I can grow from hands-on campaign work toward strategy ownership. Ideal environments include:

  • Digital marketing, growth, or performance marketing roles with clear KPIs
  • Teams that treat data and research as inputs to decisions, not slide deck decoration
  • Product companies, agencies, or scale-ups in Morocco or France
  • Mentorship and room to deepen paid media, CRM, or marketing ops over time
  • A culture that rewards testing, documentation, and honest post-mortems

Thank you for reading. I would be glad to walk through my case studies, share how I approach a brief, or discuss how I can support your next launch. You can reach me by email or LinkedIn, and I typically reply within 24 to 48 hours.

About me

Backgroundandfocus

I am Soufiane, 27, based in Aït Melloul, Morocco. I completed a Master's in Digital Marketing at Universiapolis in Agadir and I am currently pursuing an online MBA at Augment.org.

I sit at the intersection of marketing, technology, and human behavior: how research, UX, and data work together to drive product growth. I built the Nullstep project as a live lab for that mix of strategy, analytics, and execution, including on-page SEO on the marketing site.

Before the Nullstep project, I interned in digital marketing and UX at Ecowatt Maroc (solar energy) and Ajicod Agency, working on campaigns, content, and client websites for Moroccan SMBs.

My academic path started in economics and management at Université Ibn Zohr, which gave me a business foundation before I specialized in digital. That background helps me connect campaign work to revenue, margin, and customer lifetime value.

I am certified across analytics, SEO, UX design, and digital marketing from Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Semrush. I treat certifications as structured learning paths, not badges for a profile screenshot.

I approach every project with curiosity, critical thinking, and a habit of testing and optimizing. Right now my priority is a full-time role. I am open to relocating within Morocco or moving to France for the right opportunity.

How I work

From research to results

01

Research

Audience, offer, and competitors. Clarity before any budget moves.

02

Launch

Creative, landing pages, and paid setup in focused, testable slices.

03

Optimize

Read the numbers, cut waste, and scale what actually converts.

How I work

Research first: audience, competitors, and the numbers. Then test in small slices, measure honestly, and scale only what the data supports. I document assumptions so the team can revisit them after results land.

What I care about

Insights you can act on. Less vanity metrics, more clarity on what drives signups, sales, or engagement. I prefer one clear recommendation over ten charts nobody uses.

How I collaborate

Clear written updates, realistic timelines, and early flags when a test underperforms. I ask questions before polishing creative so we do not optimize the wrong message.

Outside campaigns

Exploring Morocco's coast, studying what top brands do on social, and keeping a swipe file of ads and landing pages that actually convert.
