Superside is the better choice for some teams. Here’s when.
Our team is made up entirely of marketers who have done the work themselves, so we know what strong marketing talent looks like. We can help you find your next:
When growth is a priority, hiring right isn’t optional. But finding reliable marketing talent that doesn’t cost $133K is often time-consuming, expensive, and risky. We believe every marketing team deserves dedicated talent they can trust and a hiring process that embeds new team members quickly and fully. That’s what we’re building at GrowthPair.
If you’re ready to scale with top global marketing talent and a hiring partner built for growth, we’d love to talk.
We’ve made hiring the best marketers easy
Superside’s Flex subscriptions start at a $15,000 monthly minimum on an annual term, plus a $1,000 monthly software fee. Dedicated teams start at $30,000 a month on a 12-month term, plus the same fee. A full-time GrowthPair creative costs about $4,000 a month on average, all-in.
Not at the entry level. Superside starts at $16,000 a month with the software fee. At our average of about $4,000 a month each, a full-time graphic designer, video editor, and creative strategist through GrowthPair come to about $12,000 a month, month to month. You’d direct their work yourself, and you’d give up Superside’s specialist bench.
No. Every Superside subscription runs on an annual commitment. It offers paid Exploratory Projects as a way to try the work first. GrowthPair is month to month with 30 days’ notice.
Superside says it has 800+ people in 67 countries, with production hubs in Bogotá and Johannesburg. GrowthPair’s creatives are in Latin America and the Philippines, and each one works in your time zone.
About the same. Superside says Dedicated teams go live in about three weeks, and it sells a $20,000 Quick Start for a faster ramp. GrowthPair takes about 3 weeks from signed agreement to start date.
In 1 year, your savings could be $170,000
This is assuming that each U.S. marketing hire is $133,000, and each global marketing hire is $48,000 in payroll costs per year.
