To staff even a minimal marketing department, a business will need to invest at least $180,000 per year, or around $15,000 per month. For a modestly staffed marketing department, the investment climbs to around $250,000 per year, or over $21,000 per month, and fully staffed with all the disciplines, about $390,000 per year or $32,500 per month in labor and HR overhead.
With our Virtual Marketing Department subscription service, you can have the marketing department your business requires without the typical overhead and employee liability that comes with hiring in-house employees. When your business is ready to cut the chord, there is no residual cost or liability. The subscription simply ends.
Of course, our team will always be here to help you with any specific, new or on-going, marketing, advertising or print projects. We are, after all, your Digital Marketing Partner.
This Virtual Marketing Department service allows you to focus on running your business operations, improving efficiencies, increasing your bottom-line, and simply doing what you do best. Take the time you need to build an effective employee on-boarding procedure and policy while still growing your business with effective marketing and advertising. You can also scale-back the subscription service as you build your own marketing team.

How it Works and Terms
Select a subscription service level and we will send you an invoice for your records, which you may pay online or via a check. Once payment is received, we will schedule a call, Zoom or in-person meeting and the subscription begins on this scheduled day. Before the beginning of each month, the up-coming month’s subscription fee is due to continue the service. Please note: A maximum 10% of unused hours may be carried over from the previous month to the new month, with the maximum carry-over being 10 hours above the month’s allocated subscription service hours. Any hours in excess of the allotted subscription hours must be agreed to and paid in advance – onsite work hours are charged at a 1.25 factor.
You will be assigned your own virtual marketing director, who will be your point of contact with Digital Marketing Partner for any and all of our services.
If you wish to cancel your subscription, we will prorate any unused hours in a refund to you, except for any carried-over hour.
