Building Marketing From Scratch Will Cost You Burn & Focus You Can't Afford. ### Glacial Time-To-Revenue Hiring a marketing leader takes 3 to 6 months. Building the team takes another quarter or two. First consistent pipeline lands in month 9. That's 9 months of burn with no revenue. ### The Burn Rate Furnace A marketing leader, 2 managers, a graphics person, and an old-style SEO agency too. Your GTM build's at $500,000/year before a single sale hits your CRM. ### The Founder As CMO Trap Right now marketing is you, squeezed between fundraising, product, & hiring.

[Book a meeting](https://www.thezulumethod.com/contact) I don't have a marketing team. Is that a problem? No! You're exactly who we built The Zulu Method for. We become your marketing department on day one and run it for as long as you need us. What does this cost compared to hiring? A marketing leader, a couple of managers, a specialist, and an agency retainer push past $500,000 a year before the first MQL. You get a senior expert-led marketing engine with 10+ channels to choose from for less than 1 - 2 mid-level marketers. How fast until I see pipeline? Channels go live in under 30 days. You should see pipeline by day 60, not month 9. What happens when I hire my own marketing leader? They inherit a complete, running marketing engine, not a blank page. We can stay on or leave all of the history so your new hire starts and continues at full speed. Who actually runs my marketing? We're built as a boutique partner so you'll always get access to our founder's CMO-level strategy when you need it. You'll work with your full-time senior marketing manager daily, who works with you to set the right growth strategy, and our AI systems handle 80% of the execution across every channel. No junior staff or guessing on your budget. Which channels do you cover? Our mid-level plan gets you every core marketing channel, including: SEO/GEO/AEO, a full content platform, paid ads & socials, organic socials, email suite, PPC, and more. We can easily add channels like ABM, events, and product marketing as you scale. ## Next Board Meeting, Walk In Ready. One call is all it takes to start.
