Hire a marketing team, not just a marketer.
A dedicated strategist plus specialists across every channel, working as your outsourced marketing team on a rolling monthly retainer — remote-first, no lock-in.
Want to hire a marketer without the cost and risk of a full-time hire? Ripple18 works as your outsourced marketing team on a rolling monthly retainer from from £1,500 a month: a dedicated strategist who owns your account, backed by SEO, AI-search, PPC, content, social and CRO specialists as your plan needs them. We are a London-based UK team running campaigns remotely across six markets. Unlike a single freelance marketer, a retainer gives you a whole marketing function with cover when someone is away and reporting tied to revenue, not just tasks; unlike a full-time hire, you can start with one channel and scale up — or ease back — as goals change, on a rolling term with no long lock-in. Start with one channel, add more as you grow.
What you get
A dedicated strategist
A named marketing lead who owns your account month to month — not a ticket queue or a rotating pool of juniors.
A full channel team
SEO, AI search, PPC, content, social and CRO specialists on tap as your plan needs them, under one roof.
Rolling monthly retainer
An ongoing arrangement from from £1,500 a month, scaled to your goals — grow it for a push, ease it back when needed.
Live reporting
A shared dashboard and regular reviews, so you always know what the team is doing and what it is moving.
No single point of failure
Holiday, illness or someone moving on never stalls your marketing — the team covers, and the strategy stays documented.
Transparent, no lock-in
A clear monthly rate and a rolling term. Keep the team while it delivers, wind down with notice when it does not.
Freelance marketer or a team?
Both have their place. For a single-channel job or a one-off, a freelance marketer can be the right call — and we'll say so. For ongoing, multi-channel growth, a dedicated team is more resilient. Here's the honest trade-off.
| Consideration | Freelancer | Ripple18 team |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower headline rate for one skill | One transparent monthly figure for a whole marketing function |
| Channels | Usually one — SEO or PPC or social | SEO, AI search, PPC, content, social and CRO together |
| Availability | One person — holidays and illness leave gaps | Team cover; campaigns keep running |
| Strategy | Executes tasks you hand over | Owns strategy and reports on revenue, not just activity |
| Scaling | Hard to add channels quickly | Add channels and capacity as goals grow |
| Best for | One-off or single-channel tasks | Ongoing, multi-channel growth programmes |
