South Africa and the UK's largest and most experienced team of marketing leaders
Our 100+ Marketing Directors come with many years of experience working with respected brands. They share knowledge and opinions with each other to ensure you get the benefit of the entire team.
Real marketing that gets real results
Our Marketing Directors are focused on business goals, not vanity metrics. We give advice rooted in strong marketing and business principles, not the latest fad.
Experienced leaders that are on your side
Our Marketing Directors are invested in your success, care about your business and are here to help support you in achieving your goals.
Proven track record and methodologies
You benefit from the experience of a proven Marketing Director supported by an array of tools and frameworks that guide better, faster marketing decisions and results.
Trusted suppliers
We have relationships with a wide range of high-quality suppliers, so you can work with trusted people that deliver reliable results. We don’t take money from suppliers so you know our recommendations are 100% objective.
Flexible terms with no long-term commitment
You don’t need to commit to a long-term contract and you can cancel anytime, no questions asked. You won’t have to deal with any of the admin of hiring a full-time employee and we can flex our service to help as much or as little as you like.
Affordable prices
We pair business owners with world-class, part-time marketing talent at a price point that suits small and mid-market businesses. Often less per month than a marketing manager.
