Why Hiring a Digital Marketing Freelancer Is the Smart Choice for Small Brands

When it comes to small businesses deciding between hiring a freelancer or a full-scale digital marketing agency, the choice can have a significant impact on the success of their online efforts. While agencies may seem like the obvious choice, a digital marketing freelancer like me offers several key advantages that are uniquely suited to small brands.

Full Ownership of Your Accounts

When working with me as your digital marketing freelancer, you will always have full control over your ad accounts because you create them. I guide you through the setup process to ensure everything is done correctly, but the ownership remains entirely in your hands from day one.

Giving control of your ad accounts to a freelancer or agency is a major red flag. Any professional asking to create or own your accounts should be a cause for concern. Why? Because it puts your business at risk. If an agency or freelancer owns your accounts, they can hold them hostage if you decide to part ways. All the data you’ve built—audiences, campaign history, and insights—becomes theirs, not yours. This means you’d lose not only access but also the ability to leverage that valuable information for future campaigns.

By maintaining full ownership of your accounts, you keep long-term control over your digital marketing assets, ensuring you can continue scaling your business with or without outside help. Always prioritise freelancers or agencies who are transparent about ownership, as this guarantees you stay in the driver’s seat.

Transparent Fees, Not Linked to Ad Spend

Unlike many agencies that charge fees tied to your ad spend, which can create a conflict of interest, I provide a transparent, fixed-fee model. As a digital marketing freelancer, my goal is to maximise your return on investment (ROI), not increase your ad spend unnecessarily. My fees are straightforward and not influenced by how much you choose to spend on ads, ensuring that every decision is based on what’s best for your business. You can rest assured that I’m focused on optimising your budget for results, not profits.

Agency-Level Expertise, Without the Overhead

With over seven years of experience as a digital marketing consultant, I’ve worked with both B2B and B2C brands, delivering tailored strategies that drive real results. Unlike many agencies that assign smaller accounts to junior staff or interns, I personally manage every aspect of your campaigns. This ensures you receive the full benefit of my expertise, without any of the overhead or inefficiency that often comes with larger agencies.

I intentionally service a small number of clients to give each account the attention it deserves. This means your campaigns won’t be lost in a sea of other projects—I take the time to deeply understand your business and goals. By focusing on quality over quantity, I can provide the hands-on, personalized approach that’s crucial for maximizing your campaign performance. When you work with me, you’re not just another account; you’re a partner, and your success is my priority.

No Long-Term Contracts, No Hidden Fees

Many agencies require long-term contracts that lock you into agreements even if the relationship isn’t working. As a digital marketing freelancer, I offer the flexibility that small businesses need. Our collaboration can end with just a 30-day notice, and I’ll help ensure a smooth transition. No hidden fees or restrictive contracts—just straightforward, client-focused service designed to help your business thrive.

The Benefits of Hiring a Freelancer for Small Brands

Choosing a digital marketing freelancer over an agency means personalised strategies, direct communication, and flexibility. I work with your budget and your business goals, providing tailored solutions to help you grow. Without the large overhead costs of an agency, I can offer more affordable, effective marketing that’s completely aligned with your objectives.
