Hire a Filipino Marketing Assistant. The Generalist Every Marketing Team Needs.
Filipino marketing assistants handle campaign coordination, content scheduling, social media posting, CRM updates, analytics reporting, and light design work. Hire through RecruitGo with full Philippine labor law compliance.
Your Marketing Leader Should Not Be Scheduling Posts and Pulling Reports
A marketing assistant takes over the execution layer so your marketing leadership can focus on strategy that moves the needle.
Schedule social posts, upload blog content, update CRM records, pull analytics, create Canva graphics, coordinate with freelancers, and organize brand assets. One capable generalist keeps the entire marketing operation moving.
Filipino marketing professionals understand the tone, timing, and visual expectations of Western marketing. Many have worked for US and Australian agencies, e-commerce brands, and SaaS companies.
A mid-level Filipino marketing assistant costs $600 to $900/month. The equivalent US coordinator costs $4,000 to $4,800. This is the highest-ROI marketing hire most growing companies can make.
A generalist who starts covering all channels often develops deeper expertise in one area over 6 to 12 months. You get immediate coverage today and a more capable specialist tomorrow, without hiring again.

| Scope | Broad. Social, email, CRM, analytics, content, light design. | Narrow. SEO only, or email only, or paid ads only. |
| Strategy involvement | Low. Follows the plan set by leadership. | Moderate to high. Recommends strategy in their area. |
| Best for | Small teams needing one person to cover everything. First marketing hire. | Teams with an existing generalist that need depth in one channel. |
