It's hard building marketing teams. I've hired dozens of marketers in my career. Some require handholding while the great ones are self sufficient and proactive.

I recently worked with a fractional marketing consultant for a year and a half. Never once had to wonder if projects would get done.

That's rare.

What started as bringing in a contractor to only help with events and webinars quickly evolved into way more being taken off my plate.

They didn't;t have to be asked, just started working on other campaigns.

They ran our webinars end-to-end. Strategy, speakers, promotion, follow-up. The part that surprised me most was bringing in accounts we'd been chasing for months. People who ignored our outbound actually showed up because of how they positioned the events. This was true business development, nit just checkbox marketing.

They handled field events the same way. Pre-event outreach, onsite execution, post-event reporting. Our team stopped scrambling and started closing.

Honestly, they made us look way more polished than we actually were at the time. The kind of thing where prospects assumed we had a bigger team than we did, when it was only me with freelance help.

I'm not at that company anymore. But if I were building a marketing team today and needed someone to own events, webinars, or ABM without adding headcount, I'd call them first.

If your team needs fractional support in these areas, DM me. I'm happy to connect you to someone who will get the job done.
