FAQs
Here’s everything you need to know about Toptal’s world-class marketing talent and solutions.
Toptal offers a wide range of marketing services, including marketing strategy and operations, growth marketing, digital marketing, brand marketing, social and influencer marketing, product marketing, creative and content marketing, events and experiential marketing, customer and market research, and PR and communications.
Toptal Marketing offers highly vetted, world-class marketing experts on demand across a wide range of marketing disciplines, including digital marketing, brand management, growth hacking, SEO, PPC, content creation, and more.
To get started, simply sign up on our website and provide some details about your marketing needs. A Toptal representative will contact you to discuss your project in more detail and match you with the marketing talent that’s right for your project and your business.
At Toptal, we thoroughly screen our marketing experts to ensure we only match you with talent of the highest caliber. More than 2.7 million people have applied to join the Toptal network since our founding in 2012, but fewer than 3% have made the cut. Toptal marketing experts—never generalized recruiters or HR reps—will work with you to understand your goals, technical needs, and team dynamics. The end result: expertly vetted talent from our network, custom-matched to fit your business needs and support your marketing efforts.
Based on availability, you could start working with a marketing expert within 48 hours of signing up.
We ensure that each engagement begins with a trial period of up to two weeks. This means that you have time to decide whether you want to continue with the engagement. If you are completely satisfied with the results, we will bill you for the time and continue the engagement for as long as you wish. If you are not completely satisfied, you will not be billed. At that point, we can either part ways, or we can provide you with another talent who may be a better fit, and with whom you will begin a second, no-risk trial.
Our matching process is designed to ensure you get the best fit for your needs. We start by understanding your business goals, marketing challenges, and specific requirements. Based on this information, we handpick a marketing expert whose skills and experience align perfectly with your project. This personalized approach guarantees a successful engagement.
The cost varies depending on the specific needs of your project and the expertise required. You can address a range of business challenges with our flexible engagement models: individual talent, teams, and end-to-end solutions. We offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options. Schedule a call for a detailed quote based on your requirements.
Reach your goals with Toptal’s marketing talent and services.
