What a Marketing Specialist does

A marketing specialist is your all-rounder — planning content, running campaigns and coordinating the moving parts so marketing ships consistently.

Every StaffingSolutions.io marketing specialist is recruited, hired and managed by us — reference-checked for your tools, working your business hours, and backed by our zero-risk promise: no placement fee, money-back first week, and a free replacement if the fit isn't right.

What they handle

  • Content — planned and produced.
  • Campaigns — coordinated end to end.
  • Email & social — scheduled.
  • Reporting — clear and regular.
  • Vendor coordination — briefs and delivery.
  • Website updates — kept fresh.
The actual work

A week in the role

This is the person who keeps the marketing calendar honest. The week is briefs, deadlines and traffic: chasing copy and artwork, building the EDM, loading the website update, booking the print run, and making sure the sales team knows what is going out before customers see it.

The taskWhat that actually involves
Runs the campaign calendar

Keeps the campaign calendar in Asana or Monday.com current: every launch carries a brief, an owner, an artwork deadline and a go-live date, and slipped dates get renegotiated rather than quietly missed.

Writes and issues creative briefs

Writes the brief before work starts — audience, offer, mandatory inclusions, formats, deadline — and issues it to the copywriter, designer and video editor so nobody begins a job on a verbal instruction.

Builds the monthly EDM

Builds the monthly EDM in Mailchimp or HubSpot: drops in approved copy and artwork, sets the segment and exclusions, runs inbox previews on mobile, and sends the test for client approval before scheduling.

Website content updates

Loads content changes into WordPress, Shopify or Webflow — new service pages, price changes, expired promotion takedowns — checks the mobile view, and lists any broken link or missing redirect for the developer.

Asset library housekeeping

Keeps the brand asset library in Google Drive, Dropbox or Canva tidy: current logo lockups, approved photography, superseded versions retired, so nobody rebuilds a flyer from an old logo pulled out of an email thread.

Print and merchandise ordering

Prepares print and merchandise jobs — collects the artwork, checks quantities, sizes and stock against the brief, gets quotes from the supplier, and passes the purchase order to the client to approve.

Event and trade show logistics

Coordinates trade show and seminar logistics: registration deadlines, stand collateral, name badges, freight of banners and pull-ups, and the attendee list handed back to sales as a workable follow-up sheet.

Webinar run sheet

Runs webinars end to end in Zoom or Teams: registration page, reminder sequence, run sheet with timings, moderating the Q&A box during the session, and the recording plus attendee report afterwards.

Sales collateral upkeep

Keeps capability statements, line sheets, case studies and rate cards current, reissues them when pricing or personnel change, and files the approved version where the sales team can actually find it.

CRM list hygiene before sends

Cleans the list before a send: merges duplicates, corrects industry and state fields, removes bounced and unsubscribed contacts, and checks new records carry a consent source so the send stays inside Spam Act rules.

Awards and tender submissions

Assembles industry award entries and the marketing sections of tender responses: gathers the evidence, drafts to the word limit, formats to the entry template, and tracks the lodgement deadline.

Monthly marketing report pack

Pulls the numbers each month from GA4, the ESP and the social platforms into the standing report template, notes what shipped against what was planned, and flags overdue items for the meeting.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much does a marketing specialist cost?
From $14/hr + GST for a full-time, dedicated team member — roughly $29K a year against $95K–$115K all-in for the local equivalent once you add super, leave, payroll tax, software and a desk. No placement fee, no setup fee, no recruitment retainer: you pay from the day they start, for hours worked, and interviewing candidates costs nothing. Specialist roles sit a little higher. Run your numbers →
How fast can they start?
Typically 14 days from your discovery call to day one. In the first week we source and screen against your brief; you get three matched profiles and interview whoever you like. Once you choose, we handle the offer, the contract, equipment and connectivity checks, and induct them on our side before they reach you. Specialist roles — developers, NDIS claims, anything needing niche software — can take a week longer, because we won't pad a shortlist just to hit a date.
What if the fit isn't right?
You're covered twice over. If it's clearly wrong by day five, your first week is refunded in full. After that, a free replacement any time — new shortlist, new interviews, no second fee, because there was never a first one. Before it gets that far, talk to us: our HR manager will work through it with you and the team member, since most problems turn out to be an unclear process rather than the wrong person, and a fortnight of coaching usually fixes it. Replacing someone is the last resort, not the first move.
Is there a minimum term?
Three months, then month to month. It's the same runway you'd give a new local hire to learn your systems, your clients and your standards — and the team members who get a fair run are the ones who stay for years. There are no exit penalties at any point, and if the issue is the person rather than the role, the first-week refund and free replacement cover that separately.
How do you handle confidentiality?
The same way you'd treat any remote team member. Every placement signs an NDA and a confidentiality clause before day one, and they work inside your systems — your email, your CRM, your file storage — so you control what they can see and can revoke access instantly. No client data is stored on our side.
What stays with you, and what goes to them?
They take the recurring, process-driven part of the marketing Specialist role — the work that happens the same way every week and eats your day. Judgement calls, client relationships, anything requiring your licence, sign-off or authority stay with you. The clients who get the most out of a marketing Specialist hand over a defined process and keep the decisions, rather than handing over the whole function and hoping. On the discovery call we'll map which tasks fall on which side of that line before you commit to anything.
How do I hand the work over without losing weeks to training?
Record yourself doing the task once and talk through it as you go — a fifteen-minute screen recording beats a written manual every time, and your marketing Specialist will turn it into a documented process you both work from. Expect the first fortnight to be shadowing and checking, then steadily less. If you have nothing documented, that's normal and it's not a blocker: we'll help you decide what to record first, and your account manager checks in through the whole ramp-up.
