I help coaches scale through funnels & DFY email marketing. โ†’ Helped a local business generate $1,100 in revenue in 30 days. โ†’ Built email flows & newsletters using frameworks that generated $7,200 in 30 days. โ†’ Built an automated lead generation system that delivered 31 cold leads for a local business. Most of my work is focused on building systems that drive real business results, not just surface-level engagement. Excited to connect and see how we can grow together. ------ Long version Hi! Iโ€™m Max. Iโ€™ve been studying effective copy and buyer psychology for years, with a focus on building systems that actually drive results. I help businesses set up email and funnel systems that bring in customers consistently, scale without extra manual effort, and improve ROI. Before focusing fully on email marketing and funnels, I spent years studying persuasion, conversion psychology, and real-world copy across different formats. Today, I apply that knowledge to building practical systems that support growth, not just good-looking copy. Clients usually work with me for two reasons: First, I focus on outcomes. Every email, flow, or automation is designed to drive real business results. Second, I think in systems. Instead of one-off assets, I build email and funnel setups that keep working in the background and compound over time. What I do: DFY email campaigns and newsletters, content emails, email flow setup, automation, A/B testing, list segmentation, and deliverability best practices. Other copywriting services I offer: โœ… Instagram stories copy โœ… Sales pages โœ… Landing pages โœ… Ads copy โœ… Short-form and long-form copy โœ… Video sales letters (VSLs) I love this work because it directly affects your bottom line. Funny part is, I actually hate writing... in the academic sense. I love sales, persuasion, and most of all, getting you results. Looking forward to talking more and building something great together. Cheers, Max P.S. If thereโ€™s a service that isnโ€™t listed above, feel free to reach out and we can talk more to see if it makes sense to work together.

Top Rated Plus Facebook/Instagram Ads + Google Ads strategist for coaches, consultants, service businesses, and Shopify/eCommerce brands. I fix broken acquisition systems: ads, landing pages, GTM/GA4/CAPI tracking, and CRM follow-up in GoHighLevel or HubSpot. 13+ years | 400+ businesses helped | $250M+ in client revenue generated | 100% Job Success | Google Partner You donโ€™t need more clicks. You need qualified leads, booked calls, and sales. Most businesses do not just have an ads problem. They usually have a leak somewhere between the ad, landing page, tracking, CRM, follow-up, and sale. For coaches, consultants, and high-ticket service businesses, the real problem is often not lead volume. It is qualification. The wrong people book calls, the right people are not pre-framed properly, and the sales process ends up doing work the funnel should have done before the calendar. That is where I help: by building the full path from ad to page to tracking to follow-up to booked call, so the right prospects are more likely to self-identify before they ever speak with you. ๐Ÿ“Œ Proof in Practice ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ผ Coaching / Consulting: For example, one career coaching client collected $40K+ in revenue from booked appointments in one month while spending less than $3K on ads. We rebuilt the ad strategy, improved the messaging, created stronger creatives, and tightened the path from click to booked call. ๐Ÿ›’ DTC / eCommerce: For a medical apparel and compression socks brand, Meta + Google Ads helped drive $295K in monthly revenue, $90K in monthly contribution margin, and improved aMER from 1.74 to 2.09. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Google / YouTube Lead Generation: For an educational workshop business, we helped generate 1,213 conversions at $52.76 CPA through YouTube and Google campaign strategy. The common thread across these wins is not just โ€œrunning ads.โ€ It is building the full acquisition path around the right offer, the right traffic, the right tracking, and the right follow-up. Here is where I usually help: ๐ŸŽฏ Paid Ads Management I build, audit, and scale Facebook/Instagram Ads, Google Ads, and YouTube Ads for buyers who care about qualified leads, booked calls, revenue, CAC, CPL, and ROAS, not vanity traffic. ๐Ÿงฉ Funnels, Landing Pages & Tracking I tighten the path from click to conversion with landing pages, CRO, GA4, GTM, Meta Pixel, Conversion API, enhanced conversions, and attribution cleanup. If your ads are getting clicks but your pipeline feels noisy, expensive, or inconsistent, this is usually where the leak is. โš™๏ธ CRM, Follow-Up & AI Automation I connect ad traffic to a real operating system using GoHighLevel or HubSpot: lead routing, nurture, reminders, qualification, reporting, dashboards, and selective AI workflows. This helps when ad spend is working on paper but revenue is slipping after the form fill or booked call. This approach works best when there is already a real offer, real demand, and a business that wants the full acquisition path fixed instead of just launching more campaigns. โœ… Best fit clients: โ€ข Coaches and consultants โ€ข Shopify and eCommerce brands โ€ข Service businesses โ€ข High-ticket lead generation offers โ€ข Businesses already spending on ads but not happy with lead quality, conversion, tracking, or follow-up Send me your website, funnel, or ad account context and Iโ€™ll tell you where I would look first.

Howdy, I'm Leonard ๐Ÿ‘‹ I build content systems that turn audiences into revenue, for coaches, creators, and personal brands who are tired of posting for nothing. โ†’ Generated over 2 million views on short-form content for a single creator. โ†’ Worked with one of the biggest finance YouTube channels in Portugal, managing sponsorship segments for companies like TradeRepublic and XTB. โ†’ Collaborated with a Documentary Agency behind 500M+ organic views & $10M+ in YouTube acquisitions. โ†’ Helped grow Zinho Automates' YouTube channel to over 50K subscribers and build their AI community to 24K members on Skool from 0. Scroll through my portfolio, or just message me. Always happy to talk. โ€”โ€”โ€” The longer version: Hey! I'm Leonard, based in Bucharest, and I've been living and breathing content from as young as 11 years old. I didn't stumble into this. I built channels, edited for creators, obsessed over what makes people stop scrolling, click, watch, and eventually buy. Seven years of playing with entrepreneurship across different niches will do that to you... you start developing a feel for what works which is hard to fake and impossible to shortcut. Most content marketers will give you more content. I give you a system. Here's what I actually do for clients: - Full Ideation Research: I do in-depth research on viral ideas within your niche and others, focusing on those with a higher likelihood of success for you. - Short-form hooks & scripts: written with psychology, not guesswork. The kind that stop the scroll and attracts your ideal clients. - Content strategy & positioning: so your message is sharp enough that the person ready to invest feels like you're speaking directly to them. - Funnel building: so the attention you're already generating actually lands somewhere, and turns into booked calls. I work at the intersection of creativity, consumer psychology, and clean data. I care about aesthetics. I think long-term. And I build things that fit you, because a system that works for a finance educator looks nothing like one built for a mindset coach. The industries and niches I've worked in: - Personal brands & creators - Coaches & consultants - AI & automation - Finance & education - Documentary & long-form media I'm super excited to give my best and deliver exceptional results. Thanks for the read, Leonard P.S. - If your niche isn't listed, reach out anyway. I genuinely enjoy the process of learning a new world and figuring out how to make it convert. If it's a good fit, we'll know quickly. Looking forward to building something that actually works.

Marketing consultant hiring guide

Marketing consultants help businesses develop strategies, optimize campaigns, and drive growth. Companies hire these professionals for fresh perspectives, niche skills in digital transformation or brand positioning, and data-driven initiatives that match business goals. Working with freelance professionals gives you access to specialized skills without the costs of a full-time hire.

What does a marketing consultant do?

A marketing consultant analyzes market trends, customer behavior, and internal data to develop strategies that improve brand visibility and revenue. Unlike generalist marketers focused on execution, consultants operate strategically, identifying high-leverage opportunities and diagnosing funnel inefficiencies. They collaborate with internal teams on solutions that include SEO optimization, content strategy, digital transformation, and customer acquisition funnels.

Their primary responsibility is to conduct deep-dive audits and review analytics, competitor positioning, and customer feedback to understand where a brand stands versus where it needs to be. They design tailored roadmaps including re-branding initiatives, channel diversification, and automation implementation. For example, a consultant might help a B2B company transition from cold outreach to inbound lead generation using content marketing and marketing automation platforms like HubSpot or Marketo.

How to hire a marketing consultant on Upwork

Upwork makes it easy to find, hire, and work with marketing consultants. To streamline your hiring process, just follow these four simple steps.

Step 1: Craft a targeted job post

A well-crafted job post attracts consultants whose expertise matches your challenges. In your post:

  • Use a keyword-rich title, such as, โ€œMarketing consultant needed for campaign optimizationโ€
  • Detail the problem you need to solve such as improved acquisition funnels or digital transformation
  • Define outcome metrics like increased lead generation or reduced customer acquisition costs
  • List required tools and platforms such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or Google Analytics

To create a tailored job post quickly, try the Job Post Generator powered by Umaโ„ข, Upworkโ€™s Mindful AI. Describe what you need in a few sentences, and Uma will craft a job post in seconds. You can also review job description templates for ideas and inspiration.

Step 2: Filter and evaluate proposals

Taking a structured approach to reviewing proposals will help you move efficiently from a large applicant pool to a focused shortlist. Look beyond surface qualifications to assess whether a consultant's approach and experience match your objectives.

  • Have Uma give instant video interviews and side-by-side comparisons
  • Use Upworkโ€™s filters to find candidates by rate, location, and experience
  • Review proposals for signs that the candidate has understood your job post and has the skills to meet your needs
  • Review portfolio case studies for detailed examples matching your industry
  • Check client feedback for mentions of strategic thinking, communication clarity, and deadline reliability

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Quick video interviews give you the chance to ask any questions you have left for your top candidates, and to get a feel for what a collaboration with them might be like.

  • Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork messaging to get instant transcripts and summaries from Uma
  • Ask the candidates to walk you through past work from their portfolio, focusing on aspects that are similar to your project and challenges they overcame
  • Discuss communication and reporting preferences, and clarify their preferred cadence and performance reporting methods
  • Gauge their problem-solving approach with a simplified version of your business challenge

To help your interviews stay focused and be productive, you can review common interview questions for freelancers. You can also refer to marketing manager interview questions for more industry-specific questions.ย 

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Once youโ€™ve found the right person, you can send a contract directly through the Upwork marketplace. A solid contract protects both parties and helps collaborations be successful from beginning to end.

  • Use Upwork's contract workroom, messaging, and payment protection for secure collaboration
  • Choose fixed-price contracts for projects with clear deliverables, such as a single-channel performance review
  • Break large projects into milestones, such as initial audit, strategy presentation, and execution phases
  • Choose hourly contracts for ongoing work or projects without clear deliverables, such as ongoing testing and optimization, or continuous team enablement

FAQs about marketing consultants

Frequently asked questions

Consultants provide immediate access to expertise, objective insights, and advanced tools that can rapidly improve ROI.

What qualifications should a marketing consultant have?

Practical experience with deliverables like go-to-market plans or brand positioning often matters more than formal degrees.

Can marketing consultants work remotely?

Yes, marketing consultants often work remotely using cloud-based collaboration tools, video conferencing, and shared analytics dashboards. This allows businesses to access global specialized talent.

How do marketing consultants drive revenue growth?

Marketing consultants drive revenue growth by identifying funnel inefficiencies, uncovering new market segments, and optimizing campaigns for higher conversion rates. They use data analysis to reallocate budgets toward high-performing channels and implement automation strategies.

What industries benefit from marketing consultants?

The industries that benefit most from working with marketing consultants include healthcare, e-commerce, financial services, and SaaS, particularly those undergoing digital transformation or facing intense competition.

What's the difference between a marketing consultant and a marketing agency?

A marketing consultant works independently, offering specialized strategic guidance at lower cost than full-service agencies. While agencies provide broad execution capabilities, consultants deliver deeper strategic focus for specific projects.
