The problem

Growing a business is hard.
Running marketing alone is harder.

“

We need marketing, but cannot hire a full department.

Get access to a coordinated team of specialists at a defined monthly commitment rather than making multiple permanent hires.

“

Our founder is still doing all the marketing.

Move the planning, production queue and campaign follow-through to an accountable team while retaining approval and direction.

“

We have freelancers, but nobody owns the overall plan.

One marketing lead connects individual tasks to business goals, briefs specialists and keeps priorities aligned.

“

We post content, but there is no strategy behind it.

Build an editorial and campaign calendar from your offers, audience, seasonal moments and funnel gaps.

“

Our campaigns start fast and then stall.

Create a predictable workflow for briefs, approvals, publishing, monitoring and monthly improvements.

“

Design, content and ads never look like the same brand.

Bring messaging, creative direction and execution into a consistent system across priority channels.

“

We need both strategy and people who actually execute.

Combine senior oversight with specialist production, so the roadmap does not become a document nobody uses.

“

We do not know what marketing is actually delivering.

Connect reporting to useful business indicators—qualified leads, inquiries, conversion trends and channel efficiency.

“

We want to scale without adding management overhead.

Increase your capacity and workstreams as the business grows, keeping one clear point of contact throughout.

One connected department

Not another vendor.
A marketing team that works with yours.

Instead of buying disconnected tasks, you get a shared plan, a named marketing lead and the right specialists activated against agreed priorities.

01

Ownership

One accountable lead coordinates priorities, approvals and deadlines across the work you commission each month.

01
02

Specialist Depth

Use strategists, designers, content, paid, SEO and analytics support when the roadmap calls for them.

03

Predictable Capacity

Defined monthly capacity, agreed deliverables and a visible task board keep expectations clear on both sides.

04

Connected Decisions

Creative, channels and measurement operate against one scorecard, so learning in one place informs the next move.

04
The model

One marketing goal.
Three ways to get there.

Compare an in-house team, separate freelancers, and a coordinated virtual department. Choose the model that matches your workload, budget and need for specialist support.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a virtual marketing department?

An external, coordinated marketing function with a named lead and shared specialist capacity. Instead of hiring each role internally, you agree on the priorities and your #Knights team plans and executes work within a monthly scope.

Is this the same as a traditional marketing agency?

Not quite. This model focuses on ongoing ownership, a shared roadmap and cross-channel prioritization. We work more like an extension of your business, while still operating through a defined service agreement rather than as your employees.

Who will be my main point of contact?

A named account or marketing lead coordinates the schedule, collects feedback, assigns the work and runs the agreed review cadence. The lead is supported by specialists as needed.

Do I get every specialist listed on this page?

You get access to the relevant skills within your booked hours, not seven full-time employees. We activate roles as the roadmap requires and make the allocation visible.

What do the monthly hour limits mean?

The 12-, 24- and 40-hour plans are shared team capacity. Planning, calls, design, writing, campaign work and reporting all draw from that allocation. We agree priorities, track use and scope extra capacity before exceeding it.

Can you take over our existing marketing accounts?

We can work in existing approved accounts with appropriate access, permissions and handover. Your organization remains the owner of its accounts, advertising budgets and data.

Does the fee include advertising spend?

No. Media budgets are paid directly to the advertising platforms, while tools, paid assets, production shoots, printing and major development work are billed or approved separately.

What if we only need SEO or social media?

We can focus the department on one main channel, or you can commission one of our dedicated service packages instead. We will recommend the leanest structure for your needs.

How quickly can the team start?

After the agreement, kickoff usually begins with a discovery and access phase. The first two weeks are normally used to review accounts, set priorities and establish the work queue; campaign launch timing depends on approvals and assets.

How do you measure success?

We agree suitable KPIs at kickoff, which can include qualified leads, inquiries, traffic, conversion rates and campaign efficiency. Monthly reviews discuss what the available data supports, including attribution limitations.

Can you work with our in-house marketing manager?

Yes. We can provide execution capacity or specialist leadership alongside your internal team. Responsibilities, handoffs and approval rights are agreed up front.

Can we upgrade or change our plan?

Yes, subject to scheduling and an updated scope. Larger channel needs or temporary campaigns can be handled with added hours or a separately quoted project.

How do the 3- and 6-month discounts work?

The pricing selector shows illustrative monthly fees with 10% off for a 3-month commitment and 20% off for 6 months. The quoted agreement confirms actual services, start dates, billing, cancellation and taxes.
