The Launchpad
One senior marketer. Embedded inside your business. Running from day one, with no long-term commitment until you are certain. That is The Launchpad.
How it works
Our specialists don't need handholding. They walk in commercially sharp, execute like a full marketing team, and bring the kind of independent thinking that most businesses don't find until they've burned through two or three hires. We put the right person in your business because we know our team and we know marketing - and those two things together are rare.
After three months you decide. Extend, exit, or convert them to a permanent hire. The choice is yours.
Who this is for
After a bad hire.
You've been burned and you are not ready to go through that again.
International business, local market.
You are building an Australian presence and need someone capable on the ground now.
Between hires.
You need continuity while you figure out what kind of marketer you actually need.
Not sure what you need.
You know marketing matters but you are not sure what kind. Someone needs to diagnose that from the inside.
What you get
A senior marketing generalist who can execute across the full breadth of what your business needs. Vetted, commercially experienced, and backed by The Brand Aid's oversight and specialist bench when additional capability is required. No slow starts. No managing up. No excuses.
Pricing
The conversion fee reflects the value of skipping an entire recruitment process - and only applies if you choose to bring them in-house.
Proof it works
They needed someone capable and credible, deployable immediately, without the compliance complexity of another direct hire. Their embedded marketer was operating inside the business within two weeks. They now have a permanent hire they are confident in.
FAQ
A recruiter gets paid when you hire. Their job ends there. Ours does not. Our specialist is on our books, our engagement, our reputation. We have every reason to make sure it works - and the commercial structure reflects that. You only pay a conversion fee if you choose to make them permanent. Until then, you are paying for work being done, not a placement being made.
Thirty days notice and you are out. No drawn-out HR process, no legal exposure, no sunk cost beyond what you have already used.
Yes. Additional specialists are available via The Brand Aid at any point during the engagement.
