When does a business really need a marketing project manager?

Usually earlier than they realise. The tell-tale signs are campaigns that regularly slip, too much of your own time disappearing into chasing updates and managing suppliers, or marketing activity that keeps getting deprioritised because nobody owns the delivery of it.

You don’t need to be a large business. You just need marketing that’s complex enough that managing it is pulling you away from running everything else.

What does a marketing project manager do?

In short, I sit between your strategy and your execution and make sure the two actually connect. That means building the project plan, briefing the right people, managing timelines and budgets, keeping stakeholders informed, and making sure what gets delivered matches what was agreed at the start.

Think of it as taking the operational weight of your marketing off your plate, so your team can focus on the work rather than the logistics around it.

Can you manage my other external freelancers or agencies?

Yes and this is one of the most common reasons businesses bring me in. Managing multiple suppliers is one of the biggest time drains for a business owner. I act as your single point of contact, keeping everyone briefed, aligned, and accountable so nothing gets lost between conversations.

Your suppliers get clear direction. You get your time back.

What if my project needs specialist skills you don’t cover?

Over 15 years I’ve built a trusted network of specialist freelancers; developers, copywriters, paid media managers, photographers and more. Where a project needs a skill set beyond my own, I’ll bring in the right person, brief them properly, and manage their contribution as part of the wider project.

You still have one point of contact and one person accountable for the outcome.

How much does freelance marketing project management cost?

It depends on the scope, complexity, and duration of what you need. I work on both a project basis for defined pieces of work, and a retained monthly basis for businesses that need ongoing support. Either way, you’ll get a clear, transparent cost before anything starts.

The best starting point is a quick conversation. Once I understand what you’re working with, I can give you an honest picture of what’s involved and what it would cost.
