The Mid-Market Marketing Hiring Playbook.

14 pages. Built for VPs and Directors of Marketing deciding between a full-time hire, a retainer operator, or both. Cost math, timing math, and the questions you actually need to ask.

What's inside

Built from 28 years of mid-market hiring decisions.

Every section answers a real decision VPs of Marketing have walked through with us — written in plain language, not consulting-speak.

  • Full-time vs. retainer cost math, with worked examples at $20M, $50M, and $100M revenue
  • The seven-day matching process, broken down day by day
  • Fit-interview question bank — 22 questions to ask any retainer marketer before signing
  • When to use both: hybrid staffing patterns that scale across growth stages
  • How to measure outcomes (not activity) when execution is on retainer
  • A worksheet you can print and walk through with your CFO
