    The CFO wants attribution.

    The CEO wants pipeline.

    The board wants growth.

    A bad marketing hire delays all three.

    3–6 months of stalled campaigns, wasted budget, and lost momentum.

    The Problem

    Most Marketing Hires Don't Move the Needle

    Marketing is one of the hardest GTM functions to hire for — because the role spans creative, analytical, and commercial. A growth marketer, a brand strategist, and a product marketer are fundamentally different hires, but they all show up as "marketing" on a job board.

    The nuance is real, and it takes someone who's actually built marketing teams to assess whether a candidate can drive pipeline or just run campaigns.

    Why Pointer for Marketing Hires

    Four things a generalist recruiter can't offer you.

    01

    We understand revenue.

    Marketing hires are evaluated on their ability to drive pipeline, not just create content. Our vetting goes beyond campaign metrics — we assess whether a candidate understands how marketing connects to closed-won revenue.

    02

    Talent auditors, not keyword matchers.

    We ask: What was your CAC? How did you attribute pipeline? Walk me through a campaign that failed — what did you learn? A generalist recruiter doesn't know to ask these questions.

    03

    The 1.5% model works for marketing too.

    Same pay-on-performance structure, same accountability. No upfront lump sum. If the hire doesn't work out, billing stops. Our revenue depends on your hire succeeding — that's alignment you won't find at a traditional agency.

    04

    Training and enablement.

    Every marketing hire gets access to Pointer's training network — live training sessions every week, 75+ certifications, and cross-functional workshops with sales and CS teams. The best marketers don't work in a silo. They work alongside revenue.

    YOUR MARKETING DIVISION IS LED BY

    Luke "Marshy" Marshall

    Head of Marketing Recruitment, Pointer Strategy

    Ex-Google, Ex-Facebook. Helped launch Instagram advertising in Australia. 15+ years in growth marketing across brands like BMW, L'Oreal, P&G, and Unilever.

    Marshy ran multi-million dollar digital campaigns for HP, NAB, and Foxtel before joining Google's creative services team across Southeast Asia and Australia. At Facebook, he helped launch some of the first Instagram advertising campaigns in the Australian market — and got bored after smashing his targets.

    He's spent the last decade working with hundreds of startups, building growth marketing systems and consulting on everything from demand gen to brand to GTM strategy. He's not assessing your marketing candidates against a job description. He's assessing them against what he's seen actually work — across Google, Facebook, and hundreds of fast-growth companies.
