Moreover, I am attracted to companies that prioritize environmental sustainability and social impact. As digital marketing continues to play a pivotal role in shaping consumer perceptions, I want to contribute to campaigns that align with ethical and sustainable practices. The idea of working for a company that values both profit and purpose resonates deeply with my personal values and long-term career goals. In addition to my academic and professional pursuits, I have actively sought opportunities to enhance my skills in digital marketing. I have completed relevant online courses, participated in marketing internships, and engaged in hands-on projects that allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.
