Savings
A company that hires a virtual marketing assistant can save up to 55% of hiring a permanent employee to oversee the same responsibilities.
Our virtual marketing assistants are based in Cape Town, South Africa for the following reasons:
Robust infrastructure
The fibre optic connectivity, world-class data centres, and robust transport available in the Mother City all contribute to a reliable quality of service that is inexpensive and hassle-free.
Just 1- or 2-hours’ time difference
In the UK summer, it is 1 hour, and in winter Cape Town is just 2 hours ahead of the UK. This is great because, by the time you get started with your day, your virtual marketing assistant has already been working for a couple of hours.
International experience
Most of our team have spent several years in the US, UK and Europe before returning to their native South Africa.
Productivity
Think about it, you will only be paying for the hours your virtual marketing assistant spends on projects. Everything else is our responsibility. The whole point of this is so that you don’t have to deal with any headaches. This is a seamless solution to your digital marketing needs.
As a result, you’ll be freeing yourself of the intangible expenses such as the time and effort that goes into managing a permanent employee.
So, what are you waiting for? Hire a virtual marketing assistant today and transform your business for half the price of permanent employee.
