Hire a marketer, or add AI coworkers? When each makes sense
A senior marketing manager costs about $150k a year, plus $20-30k in tools, and takes months to hire. AI coworkers start in about a week and take the weekly work, so the team you have does more.
The short answerHire a marketer when you need one person to own strategy, relationships and judgment calls. Add AI Coworkers when your team needs SEO, AI search, LinkedIn, lead generation and competitor tracking done every week. Many teams do both. AI coworkers work alongside your marketers and make them more productive.
