No, we are not a marketing agency. We’re a platform that connects companies directly with vetted, independent marketing talent.
Hiring a marketer through Growth Collective has many advantages over a marketing agency. You're able to go straight to the talent source and avoid paying for agency overhead. You're also able to select the specific marketer who best fits your needs. Finally, we don’t require any long-term commitment, so you can scale up or down as your business needs change.
We feel this is a more effective way to build a high-performing marketing team.
We have experts across every major channel, tool and vertical. Whether you need help with scaling paid social, setting up HubSpot, or branding your eCommerce store, we’ve got you covered.
We also have experts on marketing-related tools and no-code/low-code platforms. We’ve found that these skills are often complementary to your growth efforts.
For example, if you hire one of our brand marketers for an upcoming product launch, you might also request one of our Webflow experts to build the marketing website.
We carefully vet every expert who joins our platform. Our rigorous evaluation process includes client-verified case studies, reference checks, and portfolio reviews.
We incentivize clients and freelancers to refer great talent our way, so we receive a huge volume of inbound applications each week.
Most of our marketers are based in the US and CA.
Growth Collective earns a 20% share of freelancer compensation for handling marketing, sales, back office, legal, time-tracking, 1099 compliance, billing and payments. This allows our experts to focus 100% on helping your business grow.
Growth Collective is completely free for clients. However, clients are required to keep any hiring of GC experts on the platform.
We offer hourly or retainer pricing and rates vary significantly based on the type of work, level, location, and a number of other factors.
Most rates fall into these ranges:
When you create a role, you’ll see an instant estimate of the weekly cost based on the desired level and time commitment.
Our team of in-house marketers is available anytime to help you think through a hiring strategy or prioritize channels based on your business model.
When kicking off your first Growth Collective project, you'll add a payment method to your account. Hourly work and retainers are automatically charged weekly. For flat-rate projects, we hold the entire sum in escrow until the project is successfully completed.
Growth Collective handles all payments to freelancers including relevant tax forms.
Enterprise invoicing solutions are available upon request at an additional cost.
After you create a new role, our team of experienced marketers comb through our network of experts to find the perfect fit. Once we confirm their availability, you’ll receive a personalized note from the expert, our thoughts on the fit, a link to their Growth Collective profile, and a way to schedule an introductory call. If you decide to work together, you can start an project in just a few clicks!
Yes! You're able to hire your expert full-time. In that case, Growth Collective serves as a recruiter. We charge 15% of the first year full-time salary, capped at $20,000.
Once you receive your first match, you’ll gain access to our client portal. In the client portal, you’ll be able to send a proposal to the expert or accept a proposal from them. Once a proposal is accepted, you can kick off the project!
Growth Collective handles all the logistics regarding time-tracking, billing and payments. We’ve also eliminated legal back-and-forth by implementing standardized terms. Our terms are based on input from hundreds of clients and freelancers. They include the important provisions for a freelance engagement, including mutual confidentiality and client ownership of the work product.
Most of our freelancers prefer to work remotely. However, if you require some on-site work, we can match you with someone locally.
Experts submit time cards into our system once per week. Clients have full visibility into these weekly time cards within your client portal. If you’d like a more detailed view, you can also set up a shared sheet or tool directly with your freelancer.
We pride ourselves on the quality of the marketers in our network, but we understand that sometimes it’s just not the right fit. If you are ever unhappy with your marketer, we can rematch you with another option from the GC network. All of our contracts are flexible, so you can cancel at any time.
Once you’ve received your first match from us, you’ll get an email from our matching team with a link to the Client Portal. There, you’ll be able to review your matches, schedule intro calls and send proposals.
We accept experts across every major channel, tool and vertical. Most specialists have 5+ years of experience in their domain. However, we occasionally make exceptions for exceptional junior talent.
In addition to marketers, we accept experts of marketing-related tools and no-code/low-code platforms. We’ve found that these skills are often complementary. Commonly requested tools include Webflow, Klaviyo, Salesforce, HubSpot and Bubble.
We receive a large volume of applicants and our review process is thorough. It can take up to a month to complete the entire process. If you’re interested in working with us in the future, we encourage you to apply today. Once accepted, you can adjust your availability as needed.
While most of the experts within our network are US or CA based, we accept marketers from all regions of the world. However, most of our clients are here in North America, so you may need to make yourself available during those hours for projects.
Once you accept your first project with Growth Collective, you will be invited to our time-tracking and payments platform.

Growth Collective earns 20% for handling lead generation, sales, legal, time-tracking, billing, payments and 1099 compliance. For clients that we connect you with, you are required to keep all work on-platform.
We are not an open, self-service platform like Upwork or Fiverr. We have an internal team that personally vets every member of the network and we hand-match every client with the right experts. This process requires more effort from us but means you don’t have to slash your rates to find work with Growth Collective.
Once you express interest in a role, we’ll share your profile and calendar link with the client. If the client is interested in working together, they’ll book an introductory call. This typically happens within a week.
We typically recommend waiting until after you’ve connected with the client for an intro call. On that call, you can iron out the scope and pricing which will be included in your proposal.
