Take a stab a writing some marketing materials for the project/product you
are currently working on.
If you do get the job - great!
If you don't get the job, you can always say "I thought I could do a good
job of writing some promotional material for our product ..." and see if it
gets you any brownie points - or a transfer into marketing where you can
really solidify these skills.

I've been asked to provide marketing communication writing samples. The
company who have asked for them know I have never written marcom
professionally, but want to see samples that will indicate that I can do
more than "just" standard technical writing (they want an all-rounder).
Besides the usual portfolio, I have fiction, poetry, reviews, recipes, and
tourist recs/advice to show them - or I could try writing a sample
specially for them. Any recommendations from the marcom writers out there?
I need to decide soon, especially if I'm writing a sample for them.
