Marketing Consultant Agreement

Updated September 27, 2023

The marketing consultant agreement defines the business relationship between a consultant and the company they’ve been hired to assist. The role of the marketing consultant is to provide expert advice on how to position the company’s product in order to interest and expand their consumer base. The agreement will enable the hiring company and consultant to clearly define the type of services rendered, the term of the agreement, the compensation for the work, and all other provisions to which both parties must adhere. The contract becomes legally binding upon the inscription of signatures.

What is a Marketing Consultant?

A marketing consultant is a professional hired by a company to attract new customers/clients and hold on to existing patrons. Once hired, they’ll work with the company to implement a marketing strategy or ameliorate an existing one. A marketing strategy, as opposed to a marketing plan, is the definition of the goals a company wishes to achieve with regard to improving business opportunities and spreading brand awareness. The consultant will also assist with developing a plan to enable the company to achieve said goals. They will break down and analyze all internal and external factors affecting the company in order to effectively advise their client regarding branding, promotions, media channels, and the like. Once the campaign has been implemented, they will work closely with the company monitoring progress and adjusting the approach as necessary.

Types of Marketing

  • Digital (including e-mail, internet, social media, etc.);
  • Multi-level;
  • Brand Awareness;
  • Events;
  • Products;
  • B2B and B2C;
  • Healthcare;
  • Sales; and
  • Any other roles where products or services are being promoted.

How Much Does a Marketing Consultant Make?

Marketing consultant positions generally require a bachelor’s degree in communications, marketing, or business. The individual will need to be an excellent leader and advisor who is capable of both technical data analysis and creative thinking. The skills required to operate successfully as a consultant take years to garner, and an individual working at an entry-level marketing job will, of course, make less than one who has a significant amount of work experience.
