About this template

Coastal is CVEdge's most visually distinctive two-column template. The teal header band with your photo and objective statement creates an immediate personal brand moment — before a recruiter reads your first bullet, they've formed an impression. For brand managers, content creators, and marketers where personal presentation is part of the job signal, this is a powerful opening.

The objective band below the header is a feature, not a liability. For marketing roles, a sharp one-line positioning statement ("Performance marketing specialist | $50M+ in managed ad spend | fintech and SaaS") tells the story before the detail.

Coastal balances visual presence with structured content. The body section is clean two-column — experience on the left, skills and credentials on the right — meaning it reads logically both for human reviewers and ATS systems.

For UK and Australian marketers where photos on CVs are more common, Coastal's photo placement is natural and professional.

Questions about this template

Should I include a photo on my marketing resume?+

In the US, photos on resumes are generally avoided due to bias concerns. In the UK, Australia, and Europe, photos are common and expected. Coastal is designed for markets where photos are standard practice.

What should I write in the Coastal objective band?+

One sharp sentence: your role type, a key metric or specialisation, and your sector. Example: "SEO lead | 300% YoY organic growth | B2B SaaS." Keep it under 15 words.
