Marketing that ships every week, not when you get to it
Most small business marketing fails on consistency, not on ideas. A dedicated marketing assistant is the difference between a plan and a published calendar.
What is a marketing virtual assistant?
A marketing virtual assistant from Remote Talent Hub is a Philippines-based employee working Australian hours who produces and schedules content, runs social channels, builds and sends email campaigns, handles basic on-page SEO, designs in Canva or Adobe, edits short-form video and reports weekly. The cost is between $1,200 and $2,500 a month depending on scope, hours and experience level.
The problems this actually solves
Posting is inconsistent because it is nobody's actual job
Marketing done in gaps produces gaps. A dedicated person working to a calendar produced a 270 percent lift in posting consistency for one client, Evolv3.
An agency costs more than the work is worth at your size
Retainers start where a dedicated assistant finishes. For most SMEs the choice is a part-time agency relationship or a full-time person who is only working on you.
Your best content ideas die in your notes app
The founder has the insight, the assistant has the time. That split works better than outsourcing the thinking as well.
You cannot tell whether any of it worked
A weekly report on the same five numbers beats a quarterly dashboard nobody opens.
What they take off your plate
Start with the repeatable work. Add judgement work once they have earned it, which for most clients is somewhere around week six.

What it costs against hiring locally
| What you would otherwise do | Time to start | Year-one cost | What you carry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hire locally | 28.1 days average | ~$101,400 | Advertising, interviews, super, leave, payroll tax, desk, equipment, and the risk if it does not work out |
| Use a recruitment agency | 3 to 6 weeks | ~$101,400 plus a 12–18% placement fee | Same salary and overheads, plus a one-off fee, plus a short replacement window |
| Post on a VA marketplace | Days | $12,000–$30,000 | You do the vetting, the training, the HR, the payroll and the cover when they disappear |
| Remote Talent Hub | 7 to 10 business days | $14,400–$30,000 | Nothing. We employ them, pay them, manage HR and replace them free for six months |
What a dedicated assistant costs
One monthly fee covers the assistant's pay and entitlements, recruitment and screening, employment contracting and payroll, equipment, your Australian account manager and the guarantee.
- Hours. Part-time scope sits at the lower end, full time at the upper.
- Seniority. A senior or specialist assistant costs more and needs less supervision.
- Industry experience. Someone who already knows strata or building management software starts producing sooner.
- Software and coverage. Unusual systems or extended hours move the number.
Where you land depends on hours, seniority, industry experience and the software the role needs. No recruitment fee, no setup fee, 30 days notice.

Marketing questions
What does an offshore marketing assistant cost?
Between $1,200 and $2,500 a month in Australian dollars, depending on the hours, the seniority of the person and the range of skills the role needs. There is no recruitment fee and no lock-in beyond 30 days notice.
Do they write the strategy or execute it?
They execute, and they contribute. The direction should stay with you or your marketing lead. Our first two weeks are a deep dive into brand voice, funnel and personas so the execution sounds like you.
How long before content is going out consistently?
Weeks one and two are onboarding and brand immersion. Weekly content batches usually start from week three.
What reporting do I get?
A weekly update through Asana and a scheduled call, covering what shipped, what performed and what is queued. One client reduced their own marketing involvement to under 90 minutes a month.
Can they run paid ads?
Yes, setup, testing and optimisation across Google and Meta. For significant ad budgets we would still recommend a specialist reviewing the account quarterly.
