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.
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 an agreed service scope with a confirmed start date. The cost is that we are not in every meeting. Many teams use Levered until the role is clear, then hire.
