Salary benchmarks
Our take
For many high-growth companies, building a large, in-house marketing team is an expensive and impractical endeavor. MarketerHire aims to solve this problem by matching startups with the best freelance marketing talent.
MarketerHire provides access to a pre-vetted network of experienced marketing professionals, with this vetting process setting the company aside from other platforms and agencies. Through the network, businesses generally fill empty positions within an impressive 3 weeks, which is how the company has attracted big-name customers including Netflix, Puma and Buzzfeed.
The company has also amassed strong funding, including backing from executives at big-name startups such as Zillow and Seamless, which indicates the appeal of its proposition. MarketerHire is now focused on further upgrading its matching service, using machine learning to place experts with suitable roles faster and more effectively, as well as expanding across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
