When a freelancer may be the better fit
You only need one very specific thing (design, community management, a website)
Your business is small and doesn't need a full system yet
You're at a very early stage and don't have a defined sales process
De Marketing is right for you if...
You need more than tactical execution
Strategy, system, and integrated measurement — not just someone posting content.
You've already tried a freelancer
Inconsistent results, dependence on one person, no centralized data.
You don't want to depend on a single person
If they leave, your marketing doesn't stop. The system and the data are yours.
Your ticket size justifies the investment
If each client is worth tens or hundreds of thousands of pesos, a professional system pays for itself.
