At some point, every founder hits the wall. You’ve got a million things to do, and marketing is eating up your time, but you can’t afford to stop showing up online.
If you’re still trying to decide between hiring in-house or outsourcing your marketing, here’s the truth: you’re wasting valuable time and probably overspending.
This is your breakdown of why outsourcing your marketing isn’t just smart, it’s a no-brainer.
What Is Outsourced Marketing?
Outsourced marketing involves collaborating with a full-stack external agency to oversee your marketing strategy, execution, and results. Our solutions span brand development, content creation, email campaigns, social media management, SEO, paid media and web design. Guided by a customer-centric approach, we craft digital marketing that delivers seamless brand experiences.
We utilize growth marketing frameworks, informed by audience insights like journey mapping, persona development and behavioral data analysis.
You gain access to a highly efficient team while avoiding overhead costs.
1. Save More, Get More Results
According to Glassdoor, the average marketing manager in Canada earns $75,000 to $90,000 annually. But once you add benefits, training, and software? You’re looking at over $110K per year.
Now compare that to an outsourced marketing retainer: for $1,000 to $7,000 a month, you get a strategist, copywriter, designer, and project manager — all working toward your goals.
Need numbers? A Deloitte survey reveals that 59% of companies outsource specifically to reduce costs.
2. Launch Your Channels Faster, With Less Stress
You don’t need more meetings. You need speed.
Outsourced teams like Equinox Digital already have the systems, workflows, and tools to hit the ground running. That means:
No hiring delays
No onboarding headaches
No learning curves
From day one, we take on the marketing load so you can focus where it counts.
3. A Senior Team That Turns Vision Into Strategy
Most startups hire generalists who are figuring it out as they go. When you outsource, you tap into experienced pros:
A fractional CMO who understands strategy
A creative director who actually knows what converts
A team that’s worked across industries and platforms
You don’t just get tasks done, you get actual results.
4. Fresh Eyes, Better Ideas
In-house teams often miss the forest for the trees. They’re too close to the brand.
External agencies bring fresh insight and critical thinking. We tell you what’s working, what’s not, and why. We’ve seen it across industries, and we bring those learnings straight to your doorstep.
5. Stay Consistent (Even When You’re Busy)
Consistency builds trust. But when your ops team is on fire, your marketing is the first thing to get dropped.
An outsourced team keeps your presence alive, even when you’re in deep build mode. Campaigns don’t stall. Deadlines don’t slide. Your brand keeps showing up.
Should You Outsource? Quick Gut Check:
You’re drowning in content creation
Your growth has stalled
Your brand feels disjointed across platforms
You don’t have time to hire or train
Your team doesn’t have senior-level strategy skills
If any of that rings true, it’s time.
Bonus: Better SEO, Without the Hassle
Outsourced marketing teams are fluent in SEO. We’re talking:
Content strategy built around search intent
Technical SEO audits
Smart link-building
Site structure that actually works
BrightEdge reports that 53% of all website traffic starts with organic search. SEO isn’t optional, it’s essential.
