How it works

How do I build an outsourced marketing team with CloudTask?

You do one thing: interview. We handle everything else.

1

Post the role

5 minutes. The role, the motion, the tools, the comp band. That is all we need to start.

2

Review your matches

3 to 5 matches in 48 hours.

3

Interview and hire

We coordinate interviews. On Managed Staffing, we also handle payroll and compliance across LATAM.

How it works

WHY TEAMS TRUST CLOUDTASK

What you get with every hire

Marketers on your team, not an account team

Each person works only on your brand, reports to your marketing lead and works in your tools. No agency account manager between you and the work.

Your hours, your launch dates

Latin America and the Caribbean overlap the US working day, so reviews, fixes and launches happen while your team is online.

Verified on your marketing stack

Your automation, email, analytics and content tools are checked with each candidate on a live call, so the first week goes into campaigns, not logins and tutorials.

Replacement guarantee

Both hiring models include it. A marketer who does not fit gets replaced, so your campaigns do not stall while you start over.

THE HARD PART ABOUT HIRING

Why marketing teams stall, and what changes with CloudTask

Most companies look at an outsourced marketing department because hiring every specialist in-house is slow, and because an agency retainer buys hours from a shared team, not people who know the brand.

The Problem

An agency retainer buys hours from a shared team, and every request goes through an account manager first.

The Fix

A dedicated marketer works only on your brand, inside your tools, with your marketing lead setting the priorities.

The Problem

Every campaign waits on the one person who can build the workflow, edit the page or pull the report.

The Fix

Add a dedicated marketing operations or content hire so campaigns stop waiting on one person. You get 3 to 5 matched profiles within 48 hours for each role.

The Problem

When the marketer who knows your stack leaves, campaigns stop until someone new learns it.

The Fix

Every marketing seat carries a replacement guarantee: 24 months on Managed Staffing, 6 months on Direct Hire.

HIRING GUIDE

How to outsource marketing without losing your brand to an agency

An outsourced marketing department can mean an agency that runs your marketing for you, a fractional leader who sets the plan, or dedicated marketers who join your team through a staffing partner. This guide explains the options, how to structure the team, and how CloudTask fits in.

What is an outsourced marketing department?

An outsourced marketing department is marketing work done by people outside your payroll. In practice it is one of three things: a full-service agency on a retainer, a mix of freelancers and fractional leaders you coordinate yourself, or a staffing partner that places dedicated marketers on your team.

An agency, a set of freelancers and a dedicated team can all be sold as your marketing department, and each one leaves the brand in different hands. Before comparing providers, decide who you want to own the plan, the brand and the day-to-day work.

In-house marketing vs agency: is there a third option?

An in-house team knows the product and the customer but takes months to hire and is expensive to grow. An agency starts quickly and brings a range of skills, but its people split their time across clients and every request goes through an account team.

The third option is dedicated marketers placed through a staffing partner. They work only on your brand, in your tools and to your plan, like an in-house team, and you add or change roles without starting a recruiting process from scratch each time.

Which roles make up a marketing team, and which to hire first

• Demand generation: campaigns and programs that build pipeline.
• Growth marketing: experiments across acquisition, activation and retention.
• Content: the articles, pages and assets the other roles rely on.
• Email and lifecycle: nurture, onboarding and retention sequences.
• SEO: organic search visibility and the content plan behind it.
• Marketing automation and operations: the CRM, workflows, data and reporting.

Start with the bottleneck. If campaigns wait on workflows and reports, hire marketing operations first. If there is nothing to promote, start with content. The related pages below cover what to look for in each role.

Fractional or dedicated?

A fractional CMO or marketing lead works a few days a month to set strategy, budget and priorities. It fits when you need direction and already have people to execute.

When the plan exists and the work is not getting done, you need people who execute every day. That is the gap dedicated marketers fill, and the two often work together: a fractional lead sets the plan, a dedicated team runs it.

How much does outsourced marketing cost?

A marketing department is priced by the mix of roles you need, their seniority and where they work from, so the cost of one team says little about another. Agencies usually charge a monthly retainer, sometimes with project fees on top; freelancers bill for their time.

With CloudTask each role is priced on its own, so you can start with one hire and add the next when the plan needs it. Managed Staffing is one all-in monthly rate per person, with payments, compliance and replacement cover included. Direct Hire is a one-time fee of 20% to 30% of first-year base salary, and the marketer joins your payroll. We quote each role before you interview anyone.

How to choose a marketing outsourcing partner

• Whether the people doing the work are dedicated to your brand or shared across clients.
• Who you talk to day to day: the marketer, or an account manager.
• Whether the work happens in your tools and accounts, or in the provider's.
• Who owns the content, the ad accounts, the data and the automations if you end the relationship.
• What happens when someone leaves: is there a replacement, and how long does it cover.

Listicles of the best marketing agencies rarely ask any of this. Put these five questions to every provider on your list, and the answers will sort agencies from staffing partners.

What to check in the interview

Ask the candidate to walk you through a campaign or program they ran from start to finish: the goal, the audience, what they built, and what they changed after the first results. Strong marketers talk about the customer and the numbers they watched, not only about the tactics.

Then give them a small real task from your backlog, a brief for an email, a page to review or a report to read, and ask what they would do first. You will hear whether they ask about the audience and the goal before they start producing.

Red flags in marketing candidates

Tactics without a goal. A candidate who lists channels and tools but cannot say what each campaign was meant to achieve will keep you busy without moving the pipeline.

No results they can explain. Numbers with no context about budget, audience or team usually hide more than they show.

Nothing changed after launch. If every campaign ran as first planned, they probably were not watching the results.

The brief as optional. Someone who starts producing before asking about the audience will need every piece rewritten.

How CloudTask builds your marketing team

You tell us the roles, the channels, the tools and the hours you need covered. We come back with 3 to 5 matched profiles within 48 hours for each role, each one screened on a live call and verified against the tools you named.

Your marketing lead interviews and chooses, one role at a time or several at once. On Managed Staffing we handle payments, compliance and onboarding and stay in touch as the team grows. On Direct Hire each marketer joins your payroll from day one. Every seat carries a replacement guarantee: 24 months on Managed Staffing, 6 months on Direct Hire.

FAQ

The fine print, in plain terms.

How is this different from hiring a marketing agency?
An agency runs your marketing with its own people, usually shared across clients, and bills a retainer. CloudTask places dedicated marketers who work only on your brand, in your tools and to your plan, on Managed Staffing or Direct Hire.
Which marketing roles can I hire?
Demand generation, growth, content, email and lifecycle, SEO and marketing automation talent. Start with one role and add others as the plan grows; each one is matched separately.
We are a marketing agency. Is this page for us?
This page is for companies building their own marketing function. If you run an agency and need people to deliver client work, the page for marketing and advertising agencies, linked above, is the one for you.
Is there a minimum term?
Demand generation roles on Managed Staffing carry a six-month minimum term, as do other roles that create demand (outbound SDRs, BDRs and full-cycle AEs). Other marketing roles do not, and Direct Hire has no minimum term.
Can the person work in our marketing tools and accounts?
Yes. Tell us which automation, email, analytics and content tools your team uses, and we verify them per candidate before you see a profile.
What is the $299 for?
It starts your search. One time, not a subscription. It applies to your first placement or toward a buyout, so it is not an extra cost, it is the first part of one.
Why is there no number on the monthly rate?
Because it depends on the role, the seniority and the country. We quote the all-in monthly rate per person before you interview, so you know the number before you commit to anyone.
Who is the legal employer?
On Managed Staffing, CloudTask is the contracting party and handles payments and compliance, and you direct the work. On Direct Hire, you employ and manage the hire from day one.
How does tracking work, and can I turn it off?
On Managed Staffing, time and activity tracking is on by default. Talk to us about your setup when you start your search.
What happens if the person does not work out?
Managed Staffing carries a 24-month replacement guarantee, and replacements are not capped. Direct Hire carries a 6-month replacement guarantee: one replacement for the same job description.
Is there a platform or subscription fee?
No. $299 starts your search, one time, and applies toward your first placement. There is no subscription.
