Levered vs a full-time hire

Should you hire a full-time marketer or use Levered?

Hire full time when one channel is a full job for years and someone on your team can manage that person. Use Levered when you need several things moving now (ads, pages, tracking) and nobody to run them.

Both are good answers. They solve different problems.

Answer

The honest tradeoff

A full-time marketer gives you someone in the building. The cost is time to hire, time to ramp, and someone to manage them.

Levered gives you a senior operator and the full stack this week. The cost is that we are not in every meeting. Many teams use Levered until the role is clear, then hire.

Speed

Work starts in week one.

Range

Every plan covers all eight services.

Management

Priorities are set with you; the work is run for you.

Exit

Stop when you hire. We hand over what we built.

How it works

How it works

  1. 01

    Connect the accounts.

    Ads, analytics, site, CRM, whatever is live. The work happens in your systems.

  2. 02

    Week one is real work.

    The first week is free and scoped to low-risk changes, so the work starts inside your stack instead of in a slide deck.

  3. 03

    Pick a plan.

    Every plan is the full stack. Plans change how many services move at once and how often you get a strategy call.

  4. 04

    One project is one service.

    Setup, ongoing work, measurement and iteration. Inside it, ask for anything. A new service is a new project. Swaps are free.
