Here’s a winning answer for you

I’ve been inspired by your company’s brand, style, and tone of voice for years, so when I saw the open position, I instantly knew I had to apply.

I was especially inspired by [the campaign with the local plant-based restaurants your team did last year — replace this with a specific example that impressed or inspired you].

I admire the creativity that comes out of this agency, and I think I could use my newly acquired skills (and/or experience) as a designer to become a valued contributor to the agency’s future success.

I think I’d make a great fit & I’d love to be part of such a hard-working team.

Pro tip: show that you’ve researched the company before the interview.
