HAVE YOU CONSIDERED HIRING A MARKETING MANAGER?
Internal Hire Vs Outsourcing
You and I both know, there comes a time when you consider increasing staff. The thought of having a specialised Marketing person on staff could be a great move, or does it come with drawbacks. If you go cheap to save some coin > you get inexperience. If you need a well rounded Senior Marketer with 20+ years of experience, it will need a package of around 130-180K and they will expect a decent marketing budget to work with when they get there. So, most likely you have done nothing yet while you juggle your time to manage the marketing yourself while doing everything else.
Here is a solution. A “Virtual Marketing Manager” can deliver everything you need, at around 20 to 25% of the cost to hire an internal staff member. The focussed attention to deliver results, backed by a no-fee guarantee if results don’t happen, makes this worthy of consideration. Outsourcing might be the right move for you right now. Important: We don’t mean overseas marketers. Were talking locally based and working 1 on 1 alongside you.
Value
The complete scope of works comes in approx. 25% of the cost to hire an internal Marketing Manager. Without the risks associated with bad performance or a casual attitude to results, as “they are getting paid anyway”. As a contractor, we have to perform to the highest level to ensure we meet the set objectives otherwise we keep working for free until we do.
Continuity
With IPD Marketing, you get a team working collectively, using multiple sources of intelligence, skills and continuity. Not to mention access to our highly skilled network we have assembled. You can’t get that from a single hire.
