For growing companies

You run the company. We run the marketing.

A growing company needs marketing that runs every week, with or without a department to run it. CESSON becomes your marketing team, or the extension of the one you have: Philippe Cesson sets the strategy, a named team does the work, and you pay one flat monthly fee.

The arithmetic

An agency, or a hire?

Most CEOs of growing companies weigh CESSON against hiring one marketing person. Here is the comparison, with public salary figures.

Cost per year$166,790 median salary, before benefits, software and recruiting$78,760 median salary, before benefits, software and recruiting$48,000 to $72,000 for most engagements, with the software we use included

The commitmentEmploymentEmploymentSix months to start, with a checkpoint at 90 days, then month to month

Salaries: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, median annual wage, May 2025, for marketing managers and for market research analysts and marketing specialists. CESSON figure: $4,000 to $6,000 a month, the range most engagements fall in.

When a hire is the better answer. If you have enough work for a full-time marketer and someone to direct them, hire one. Several CESSON clients have both: their person runs the day-to-day, and CESSON brings the strategy and the specialist work.
