The problem
One marketing hire costs more than you think
And they still only cover one or two channels. Here’s what you’re really paying.
- Salary £35,000–£55,000
- NI & pension £4,400–£7,000
- Software & tools £2,500+
- Training & management £4,000+
- Recruitment cost £5,000–£10,000
- Total annual cost £50,000–£75,000+
For one person. Usually strong in one channel. Takes 3–6 months to recruit.

Common questions
FAQ
How is this different from hiring an agency on a retainer?
Traditional retainers lock you into a fixed monthly fee for a fixed scope — typically 6–12 months. With a fractional team, you get the same specialists but with genuine flexibility: change channels, scale hours, or pause entirely with 30 days’ notice. You also get a dedicated marketing manager who acts as your in-house lead, not an account exec juggling 20 clients.
What size business is this for?
We typically work with businesses doing £1m–£10m in revenue that need serious marketing but can’t justify a £50k+ in-house hire. You might have a marketing coordinator who needs senior support, or no marketing team at all. Either way, this gives you access to a full team without the overhead.
How quickly can you start?
Most clients are onboarded and live within 1–2 weeks. We audit what you’re currently doing, set up tracking and reporting, and begin delivery. No 3-month ramp-up period.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. All plans are month-to-month with 30 days’ notice. We don’t believe in tying clients down — if we’re delivering results, you’ll stay because it’s working, not because of a contract clause.
How do I know what you're actually doing?
You’ll have a shared project board (Monday.com), a live reporting dashboard, and a monthly review call with your marketing manager. Every hour is logged and every decision is documented. Full transparency.
What if I only need one channel, like PPC?
That’s fine — the Starter plan covers one core channel. Many clients start there and add channels as they see results. There’s no pressure to take everything at once.
