Ship marketing that moves the number
Results our clients see
Growth, not vanity metrics
Across paid social and search campaigns we manage.
Year-over-year for content programs we run end-to-end.
Vs. a 2.1% industry benchmark — we ship, test, iterate.
Why it matters
Stop paying for busy. Start paying for built.
What good marketing execution actually looks like — weekly.
The agency trap
- Kickoff calls that turn into 6-month retainers
- Junior accounts staffed on your work, senior on the pitch
- A dashboard that updates once a month
- Generic templates dressed up as 'brand strategy'
- Nobody to ping when the landing page is broken
A South Assistants marketer
- A specialist embedded in your Slack from week one
- Weekly ship reports: what went live, what's next, what moved
- Real-time dashboards — you see the numbers we do
- Copy, creative and campaigns built for YOUR ICP
- Fast, direct, accountable. Like a teammate should be.

How it works
From kickoff to first win in 14 days
A weekly cadence designed to compound learning — not just activity.

We audit your current funnel, interview your customers, and produce a one-page positioning brief your whole team can rally behind.
- Step 02
90-day growth plan
Three channel bets, three leading metrics, three experiments. Crisp, small, and designed to ship in sprints — not quarters.
- Step 03
Execution sprints
Weekly ship cycles: creative built, campaigns live, funnel updates pushed. You approve; we ship.
- Step 04
Review & double-down
Every Friday: what moved, what didn't, where we're doubling down next week. Short loop, fast learning.
Tools we master
Native in your marketing stack
Our marketers come trained on the tools you already pay for — and opinions on which ones you should replace.
...and many more. If you use it, we can learn it.
“We replaced a $9k/mo agency with two South Assistants marketers. In 90 days our pipeline from paid doubled and we actually ship landing pages the same week we decide to.”
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How marketing engagements work.
Do you specialise by channel or are they generalists?
Both. You can hire a generalist marketing coordinator, or a specialist for a specific channel (paid social, SEO, lifecycle email, content). Most clients start with one specialist and a generalist.
Can you run ads on our ad accounts?
Yes. We operate in your ad accounts, on your credit card. You own everything — accounts, pixels, creative, audiences. No lock-in.
How do you report on performance?
A shared live dashboard (Looker, GA4, or your existing stack) plus a short Monday written report covering what shipped, what we learned, and what's next.
Do you write copy, or do we?
We write it. Every marketer passes a long-form writing assessment as part of vetting. You approve before anything goes live.
What's a realistic first-90-day outcome?
A fully documented positioning brief, one channel producing repeatable pipeline, and a weekly execution cadence your team can rely on. We'll share a realistic projection on the discovery call.
Can I pair my marketer with a designer?
Yes — this is one of our most popular configurations. We'll match a marketer and a designer who already work well together, for faster creative velocity.
