What is the difference between a permanent and a contract marketing hire?
Permanent hires make sense when you're building long-term marketing capability. If you are looking someone who'll grow with your brand, hold institutional knowledge and shape strategy over time, such as a Head of Marketing or Brand Manager. It’s the right call when the role is core to how your function operates day to day, rather than being tied to a specific project or fixed window of need.
Contract and interim hires suit fluctuating demand, such as a campaign peak that needs extra hands for a defined period, or parental leave cover that keeps momentum going without disrupting the team's structure. Contractors are engaged and paid through us, so we handle payroll, superannuation and compliance while they work with you. Many of our clients use a mix of both, building a permanent core while using contract talent as workload shifts, so they're never over-resourced in quiet periods or under-resourced when it counts.
-
Do you recruit marketing roles outside Sydney and Melbourne?
Yes. We recruit marketing roles across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide too, drawing on our offices in each city. We also place regional and remote marketing hires, so wherever your team is based, we can help you find the right person. -
Which marketing skills are in demand at the moment?
We are seeing strong demand for skills in SEO and AEO, data analytics and marketing automation, alongside AI-driven content creation and campaign optimisation that blends storytelling with performance metrics. Employers are prioritising candidates who can work across both brand and digital, reflecting how marketing functions are increasingly expected to prove commercial impact.
