Prose

We promise, this isn’t a trick question — and there’s no “one size fits all” answer. The beauty of Prose is that we offer the best of both worlds. Think of us as part staffing agency, part marketing agency. If you need to work directly with talent, we can make it happen. But if your project calls for an all-hands-on-deck agency team, we’re ready to dive in. Many clients actually do a mix of both — fractional marketer for some tasks, full agency support for others. So, which approach works best for you? Let’s break it down:

Fractional marketer:
- Cost-effective: You get top-tier expertise at a fraction of the cost. It’s like having a part-time marketing rockstar delivering full-time results.
- Flexibility: Need more help one week and less the next? No problem. A fractional marketer scales with you. Great for project work or campaigns.
- Personalized attention: A fractional marketer is laser-focused on your business, providing custom strategies that fit like a glove.
- Best for: Businesses looking for flexible, high-level expertise without committing to a full-time hire.
Marketing agency:
- All-in-one services: From strategy to execution and everything in between, an agency covers all your bases across multiple marketing channels.
- Access to a dream team: You get an entire network of specialists, each with different superpowers, working together to make magic happen.
- Scalability at its finest: Agencies can quickly ramp up your marketing efforts when you’re ready to hit the gas on growth.
- Best for: Companies looking to outsource the heavy lifting and tackle complex, multi-channel marketing with a dedicated team.
Combo of both:
- Ultimate flexibility: Why choose? Get specialized attention from a fractional marketer and comprehensive execution from an agency. The best of both worlds!
- Two heads are better than one: The fractional marketer handles strategy while the agency manages execution — a seamless tag team for success.
- Balanced workload: You get the right mix — fractional marketer for the high-level stuff and the agency for rolling out the details.
- Best for: Businesses that want strategic leadership combined with a full agency’s resources to execute big ideas.

What to consider:

Budget: What’s your marketing budget? Do you want to invest in ongoing support or focus on project-based work?
Scope of work: Do you need targeted expertise or a comprehensive marketing plan with all the bells and whistles?
Future plans: How does this fit into your long-term marketing goals? Are you looking for a short-term boost or ongoing support to grow?

At Prose, we help you tailor the right approach for your needs, whether you want a fractional marketer, full agency support, or a little bit of both. Whatever the challenge, we’ve got you covered.
