Outsourced Marketing
Outsourced marketing directionwithout building a full department.
ICON IMAGE provides senior marketing direction and coordinates the specialist resources required by companies that need international capability without immediately building a complete internal team.
Overview
Senior direction. Flexible specialist delivery.
Outsourced marketing works when the company retains business ownership while an external senior partner defines priorities, organises delivery and coordinates the right specialists. The purpose is accountable direction, not a larger volume of disconnected content.
Structure
Define what should remain internal, what should be outsourced and how every contributor works together.
Control
Maintain standards, budgets, priorities and reporting across agencies and independent specialists.

Project scope
Add senior marketing direction to your existing team
The scope is agreed around your objective. A proposal can include:
- An agreed marketing plan with priorities, responsibilities and review points.
- Briefs and coordination for the internal team and appointed specialist suppliers.
- Regular review of delivery, enquiries and commercial feedback within the agreed mandate.
What to include in your enquiry
Tell us your offer, markets, current team, monthly priorities and available delivery budget. We distinguish management fees from advertising spend and third-party production costs.
How the fee is scoped
Fees depend on the markets, research depth, deliverables, timetable and coordination required. The proposal sets out responsibilities, exclusions and any separately agreed supplier costs before work starts.

Before we begin.
When should a company outsource marketing leadership?
It can be effective when a company needs senior direction quickly, is entering a new market, has several uncoordinated suppliers or is not ready to recruit a full internal department.
Do you execute every marketing task internally?
No. We define and coordinate the work, using the client's existing resources and selecting specialist partners where additional expertise is required.
Can this be a temporary arrangement?
Yes. It can support a launch, transition or defined growth period, or continue as an ongoing international marketing function.
How is the scope defined?
The scope depends on markets, objectives, existing resources and execution intensity. It is agreed after an initial project review.
