Hire freelance and contract marketing consultants worldwide

Hire a freelance marketing consultant when you need senior marketing direction without a permanent hire, when you're launching a product or entering a new market, or when results have stalled and you want an outside view. They're also useful as interim cover for a marketing leader, and for building a strategy or plan your team can then run.

Marketing consultants vary by specialty and seniority. Some are generalists who set overall strategy, others specialize in areas such as brand, digital, product marketing or growth, or in sectors such as B2B, e-commerce or consumer. Some advise, while others work hands-on. Decide whether you need a strategy, an interim leader or extra delivery capacity, and look for experience in your sector.

Useful questions to ask before you book:

1. Which sectors and brands have you worked with, and what results did you achieve?
2. How do you build a marketing strategy for a new client?
3. How do you set priorities and decide where to invest budget?
4. How do you measure marketing performance?
5. Are you advising, delivering hands-on, or both?
6. How do you work with in-house teams and agencies?
7. What would you look at first in our current approach?
8. How do you handle a project with a limited budget or timeline?

The cost of a freelance marketing consultant depends mainly on seniority, specialty, sector experience, whether the work is advisory or hands-on, and location. Freelancers set their own day rates, which you can see on their YunoJuno profile before you make contact.
