• Your cover letter will need to demonstrate the skills we believe are required to be successful in this role e.g. impeccable writing and grammar; being able to replicate Easy Taxi's brand voice; interesting, engaging, even witty or humorous tone of voice; and a wide and established network of media influencers and outlets you could use to your advantage.
• Boring or generic cover letters that do not address our needs above will automatically be disqualified.
