FAQs About Our Outsourced Marketing Services
Running a business isn’t easy. You already know that. You have to wear different hats throughout your day. Marketing shouldn’t be one of them.
Whether you’re launching a new business, introducing a new product or service, or looking to hit the next level of growth, using MARION as your outsourced marketing department will give you time to stick to what you do best.
Outsourced marketing services are meant to supplement or replace the need for W-2 marketing employees at your company.

Outsourced marketing services are done by an outside company (like MARION) that already has processes in place for skills-related training and specialization.
