Marketing management
Some businesses need marketing run rather than marketing supplied. There is a plan, a budget, several suppliers and nobody senior enough to hold it all together. That role is available on a retained basis.
That means owning the plan and the budget, briefing and managing the people producing the work, keeping the calendar honest, and reporting to you on what it returned. That includes saying plainly when a supplier is underperforming or a campaign should be stopped.
It suits businesses too small to justify a marketing director and too busy to keep doing it in the gaps. Where you already have a marketing person, the work more often runs alongside them on the parts they do not have time for.
