The owner who wants a marketing department for the price of one hire
You would hire someone if you could find them and afford them.
Gets: A strategist, a media buyer, a creative lead and nine agents, for less than the hire.
The founder scaling past their own attention
Marketing was you. It cannot stay you.
Gets: A plan per location, one strategist, one report, one decision a morning.
The brand that wants a benchmark
You need a method every territory can follow.
Gets: The method, run on your pilot territories, written down as the playbook.
Against the usual options.
| Marketing OS | A typical agency | An in-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | A strategist plus nine agents | A team you rarely meet | One person |
| Reporting | One message a morning | A deck a month | A spreadsheet |
| Coverage | Search, paid, creative, reputation, site | Two or three | One or two |
| Cost | Scoped, less than a senior hire | Retainer | Salary plus tools |
| Who owns the accounts | You | Often them | You |
| Terms | Month to month | Annual | Employment |
Scoped on the call.
Managed engagements are scoped to your market and your goals. Software is always included. Month to month, your accounts stay yours. All we ask is one quarter on a handshake, because the first quarter lays the groundwork.

A marketing department, without the overhead.
What an in-house marketing team costs
Building the same coverage in-house means a salary for every role, plus employer taxes and benefits of 25 to 30 percent, plus the tools each person needs. Typical annual salaries for the roles Marketing OS covers:
- SEO specialist: $80,000 to $100,000
- PPC or Google Ads manager: $80,000 to $100,000
- Social media manager: $55,000 to $70,000
- Web admin or tech support: $50,000 to $70,000
- Reputation manager: $45,000 to $60,000
Then add the tool stack: SEO tools, PPC optimization tools, review management software, call tracking and social posting tools. In Marketing OS the people and the software are included, and most engagements start where a single senior hire would.
Why one connected team beats buying separately
Buy search, paid media, social, creative and a website from separate vendors and you get separate strategies, separate reports and separate priorities. Your SEO team does not know what your paid team is doing. Your social content does not reinforce your search strategy. Your brand creative does not line up with your ad campaigns.
Marketing OS runs everything as one connected system. Your search content feeds your social. Your social authority supports your search rankings. Your paid campaigns send traffic to pages built by the same team that does your SEO. That coordination is what you are paying for: one team, one strategy, and every channel built to compound off every other channel.
Not outsourcing. A partnership.
When you work with us, you are not handing your marketing to strangers. You gain teammates who are as invested in your success as you are. We learn your business, understand your vision and execute with precision. Marketing changes fast, so we keep learning new tools, platforms and strategies and bring what works into your plan. Your wins are our wins.
Marketing OS questions, answered.
What does the Ingenuity Marketing OS replace inside my company?
It replaces the marketing department you would otherwise hire piece by piece: a strategist, an SEO specialist, a paid media manager, a creative lead and the tools each of them needs. One team and one system handle strategy, search, paid media, creative, reputation, your site and reporting, so you stop coordinating vendors and start reading one brief a morning.
How much does the Ingenuity Marketing OS cost?
Marketing OS is scoped on the plan call, and most engagements start where a single senior hire would. You leave that call with a first quarter plan and a quote. The software is always included, and search, paid media, creative, reputation and your site all sit on one plan.
Is there a contract for Marketing OS, and what happens if I leave?
No. Marketing OS is month to month, with no contract. We do ask for one quarter on a handshake, because search, paid media and reputation take a little while to show, and the first quarter is where the groundwork goes in. If you leave, your accounts, content and data stay in your name, and so do the assets built along the way: the content, the creative, the ad accounts and the audiences. Each quarter starts with a written plan, so you always know what comes next.
Who works on my Marketing OS account?
A named strategist is your single point of contact: they plan the quarter, read the brief with you, approve the routine work, escalate the rest and pick up the phone. A search lead owns the map, the audit and the pages. A media buyer owns the campaigns. A creative lead owns the kit and the studio. The crew reads everything every night.
How long does Marketing OS onboarding take, and what happens first?
It starts with the plan call, where we have already read your search, ads and reviews. The first thirty days bring fixes, tracking, listings and the first pages, all approved by you. By the end of the first quarter, paid media is live, reviews are flowing and the map is moving. Every quarter after starts with a written plan.
Do I need a minimum ad budget for Marketing OS?
No. Some Marketing OS accounts run on search and reputation alone until paid media makes sense. When it does, AdLab runs underneath on a flat fee, and the ad budget stays yours. The plan call is where we decide which lanes to start with.
Can I keep my current agency or vendor for one piece of Marketing OS?
Yes. If another vendor already runs one piece you like, we connect to their output and report it with the rest. The morning brief and the monthly deck still show everything in one place, so you get one picture of your marketing even when one lane sits outside our team.
What is in the Marketing OS morning brief?
The brief lands every morning by 6:58 and is written for a phone. It covers what moved overnight across search, paid, reviews and your site, what we did about it, and only the decisions that need your yes. A bad review, a spend spike or a site outage wakes the crew at any hour, and a person follows within the hour in business hours.
