Digital marketing agency for startups

Build the marketing team your next stage requires

Unlike agencies, GrowthPair helps startups hire full-time, dedicated marketers who work exclusively on their business, not multiple client accounts at once.

Why startups choose GrowthPair over digital marketing agencies

When growth and budget both matter, who you hire for marketing makes all the difference. With an agency, you get a team splitting attention across multiple clients and taking their processes and context with them when you outgrow the relationship. With GrowthPair, you get a full-time marketer embedded in your team who grows with your company.

We pair startups with top global marketing talent at a fraction of the cost of agency models. And when you hire through GrowthPair, your marketer works for you, not an external firm. That means more time, focus, and continuity, plus a hire you can keep as your team grows.

Discovery Call

You’ll meet with a senior growth marketer from our team to talk about what kind of help will make the biggest impact. We’ll outline the skills, experience, and salary range so we can find your best match fast.

Schedule Your Free Call

Source Candidates

We source through trusted job boards, referrals, and niche marketing communities. You don’t lift a finger. We handle the search and send you the standouts.

Proctored Assessment

Each candidate completes a proctored, role-specific assessment that checks for strategy, execution, and communication. Out of 100 applicants, fewer than two make it through. That’s how we keep a 90% first-pair success rate.

Live Interview

Before you meet anyone, they’re interviewed by a marketer who’s done the job before. It’s how we make sure you’re only introduced to people who can deliver from day one and collaborate well with your team.

Meet & Pair

You’ll meet a short list of finalists and choose the person who feels right for your business. Once you’re paired, they join full-time and quickly become part of the team. If a pairing ever misses the mark, we’ll find a better fit. It’s rare, but we’re human: it happens, and we take care of it.

Can I hire part-time marketers through GrowthPair?

No. GrowthPair focuses exclusively on pairing companies with full-time global marketing talent.

Will my GrowthPair hire work during U.S. hours?

Yes. Every GrowthPair marketer syncs their schedule with your team’s timezone to ensure seamless communication and collaboration.

What’s the cost difference between the headhunter model and managed service?

The headhunter model charges a 35% one-time fee based on the hire’s annual salary. The managed service model bills at 2x the marketer’s hourly rate and includes HR, payroll, benefits, and a lifetime replacement guarantee.

What's the minimum commitment for startups?

GrowthPair offers flexible hiring options for startups. Most startups use our managed service, which runs month to month and allows you to adjust as your needs change.

Can one marketer handle multiple marketing functions initially?

Yes. Many GrowthPair marketers have experience working in startup environments where one person supports many channels. They focus on prioritization and execution, handling what matters most now while helping you decide when and where to specialize later.

How quickly can we get started with limited onboarding resources?

GrowthPair is built to move quickly, making it a great option for startups needing results fast. Most startups meet vetted candidates within a few weeks, with GrowthPair providing clear onboarding guidance to keep the process simple and fast. Your marketer ramps similarly to an internal hire, without a heavy setup process.

How does GrowthPair help startups who don't have time to manage a marketer?

We place experienced marketers who are comfortable working independently and taking ownership of execution. We also handle much of the operational overhead. Things like hiring logistics, payroll, and ongoing support are on our plate, not yours. This reduces day-to-day management compared to agencies, while keeping the marketer fully integrated into your team.

What does success look like for startups using global talent for marketing?

For startups working with GrowthPair, success means hiring the right marketer on the first try and seeing progress quickly. With a 90% first-pair success rate, teams avoid drawn-out hiring cycles and get a full-time, dedicated marketer who integrates fast, takes ownership of execution, and helps marketing keep pace as the company grows.

Growth doesn’t happen by accident

It happens when you hire right. We’ll pair you with top global marketing talent in three weeks or less.
