How short can a contract be?

Two weeks is the usual minimum. Most cover runs from two weeks to three months.

How much does leave cover cost?

Part-time cover is $1,100 a day + GST, for at least two days a week. Full-time cover starts from $5,000 a week + GST. Both are booked by the week, with a minimum of two weeks.

Can you work under our agency's brand?

Yes. We can work as part of your team, use your email and processes, and stay in the background with your clients. A simple confidentiality agreement covers it.

Yes, across Brisbane, Ipswich and South East Queensland by arrangement. Remote cover works anywhere in Australia.

How is this different from going through a recruiter?

You deal with us directly and there's no placement fee. We're a registered company, so we send a tax invoice and there's no payroll or super to set up.

What if we need strategic leadership, not just cover?

That's Ben's fractional Chief Growth Officer practice.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Ideally four weeks before the leave starts, so there's time for a proper handover.

Who it’s for

For agencies.

When your senior marketing technologist, automation specialist, web developer or ads lead is on leave, we keep client work moving. We can work under your agency’s name and processes, join client calls as part of your team, and hand everything back cleanly when your person returns.

For businesses.

When your marketing manager or marketing officer goes on leave, we keep the essentials running: campaigns, the website, reporting, suppliers and the jobs that can’t wait. You get someone senior enough to make sensible calls without being told everything.

How it works

1
Handover call.
Before your person leaves, we spend an hour with them on what's live, what's due and where the logins are.
2
Agreed scope.
We agree the days per week, what's in and what's out, and who signs things off.
3
Cover.
We do the work, on site or remote, and send you a short update each week.

Hand back.
A written handover when they return: what was done, what changed and what's next.
