Most funnels fail because they’re built by people who don’t guarantee ROI. Me? I guarantee it, right in the contract we both digitally sign. And it’s not some vague satisfaction guarantee, it’s tied to a real dollar value (3x whatever you pay me). I create, launch and scale sales funnels using direct-response principles where every step has one job: generate revenue (through purchase or booked calls). Because I guarantee ROI, I don’t just build the funnel, I also manage and optimize it day-to-day until the guarantee is fulfilled.

That makes me honest and picky about who I take on as an investor (what I call my clients). I call them investors because I generate ROI based on your investment. Because when you pay me, it’s not an expense. Expenses are losses. I’m accountable for returns. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 👇 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐃. 𝐍𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

I’m a marketing strategist with 20+ years of experience working with global brands like Nintendo, Reebok, GlaxoSmithKline, and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts - alongside founder-led companies and startups in health and wellness that needed to grow fast and get it right the first time. I diagnose what’s actually holding your business back and build the strategy that fixes it. I’ve helped scale a NYC fashion brand from 0 to $15M in revenue and 600K+ organic followers (no paid ads). I’ve launched brands, repositioned companies, and built marketing systems that generate revenue demand, not just attention. What I Do Best • Growth Strategy Clear, actionable marketing plans tied directly to revenue, not vanity metrics. • Brand Positioning So your audience instantly understands why you matter (and why they should choose you). • Content That Converts Not random posting but structured content ecosystems built around proof, storytelling, and demand. • Lead Generation Systems SEO and AEO, email, and content strategies designed to consistently bring in qualified leads. • Website & Funnel Audits I identify exactly where you’re losing people and how to fix it fast. • Offer & Pricing Strategy So you’re not just selling more, you’re selling smarter. How I Work Before any strategy call or creative direction, I will review your current website, social media and other marketing channels. What’s working? What’s not? Where the gaps are. Then we build from there, so every decision is intentional, not guesswork. I ask the right questions. I listen closely. And I move quickly from insight to execution. Who I Work With • Founder-led brands • E-commerce and Shopify businesses • Wellness, fashion, and lifestyle companies • Experts turning knowledge into digital products • Businesses ready to grow, but stuck on how Start Here Every engagement begins with a short introductory call. From there, we define the right path, whether that’s a focused strategy session, a full audit, or ongoing advisory support. If you’re serious about growth and want a strategy that actually drives results, let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary intro call with me to begin.

🌟 5.0 Rated | HubSpot & GoHighLevel Specialist Imagine this… You’ve spent weeks (maybe months) trying to get your marketing and sales systems to work. You hired someone to set up HubSpot or GoHighLevel, paid good money, and what did you get? A messy CRM full of duplicate contacts, broken funnels that leak leads, automated sequences that sound robotic, and zero real results. You still find yourself manually chasing leads, wondering why appointments keep getting missed, and watching potential revenue slip away while you’re stuck doing everything yourself. I know exactly how that feels. That frustration. That exhaustion. That quiet disappointment when another “expert” delivers something that looks okay but doesn’t actually move the needle for your business. My name is Akon, and I’m tired of seeing good business owners go through that pain. I build HubSpot and GoHighLevel systems that finally give you peace of mind. Systems that don’t just look professional, they actually work. Systems that bring in leads while you sleep, nurture them with care, book appointments automatically, and turn cold prospects into loyal, paying customers. I don’t just set up tools. I listen first. I study your business, your customers, your sales process, and the exact points where people drop off. Then I design clean, smart automation that feels human, not robotic. Whether it’s HubSpot workflows that score leads properly, GoHighLevel funnels that convert cold traffic, abandoned cart recovery that brings back lost revenue, review request automation that grows your Google profile, or full white-label setups for agencies, I build it so it runs smoothly and keeps generating income even when you’re not at your desk. When you work with me, you’re not getting another freelancer who disappears after delivery. You’re getting a partner who cares about your success. I deliver fast, I test everything thoroughly, and I give you clear documentation so you and your team can actually use the system without stress. I also train you properly so you never feel lost again. Recent clients said it best: “Akon delivered exceptionally! She audited our system, optimized workflows, and built seamless nurturing sequences that improved lead flow and segmentation. Highly recommend her for any advanced HubSpot workflow, funnel optimization, or marketing automation projects.” Another client shared: “Above her clear commitment and attention to detail, Akon is a top-notch HubSpot Web Development Expert! She ensured seamless lead capture and workflow automation, fixed integrations and thoroughly audited our CRM tracking.” These aren’t just nice words. They represent real relief, fewer missed opportunities, cleaner data, higher conversion rates, and more time back in your day. I’m proud to be from Nigeria, and I bring that same determination and resourcefulness to every project. I’ve helped local businesses and international clients create systems that work reliably, whether you’re running a service business, coaching practice, real estate agency, or growing company. If you’re tired of broken promises, half-working automations, and spending money without seeing results… let’s change that together. Send me a message or an invite. Tell me your main platform (HubSpot, GoHighLevel, or both) and the biggest challenge you’re facing right now; messy CRM, leaking funnels, low booking rates, abandoned carts, or anything else. I’ll reply with a clear, honest next step you can take immediately. No sales pitch — just real help. You deserve systems that support your growth instead of holding you back. You deserve to feel confident that your marketing and sales are working for you, not the other way around. Let’s build something that finally feels right. I’m always ready and active when you are.

Marketing strategist hiring guide
Marketing strategists help you turn growth goals into actionable plans through market research, audience segmentation, competitive positioning, channel prioritization, and performance measurement. They shape go-to-market roadmaps, audit existing campaigns, and build frameworks that connect marketing activity to business outcomes. If you need sharper prioritization, a clearer launch plan, or more structured optimization, hiring a marketing consultant or strategist can help you move from activity to strategy.
What does a marketing strategist do?
A marketing strategist analyzes customer behavior, market trends, and competitive positioning to create marketing plans that support your business goals. Responsibilities typically include conducting market research and audience analysis, defining target segments and positioning, building campaign plans or go-to-market strategies, prioritizing channels and budget allocation, overseeing content strategy and messaging frameworks, and tracking performance against key metrics.
Common deliverables include marketing audit reports, audience and positioning summaries, campaign roadmaps with channel recommendations, KPI frameworks, messaging guides, and milestone-based strategy reviews. Depending on project scope, a strategist may work alongside content strategists, SEO experts, paid media specialists, or internal teams who handle day-to-day execution.
How to hire a marketing strategist on Upwork
Hiring a marketing strategist on Upwork works best when you define the business problem first, then evaluate candidates based on strategic thinking, relevant experience, and communication. A structured process helps you compare approaches before you commit to a larger engagement.
Step 1: Post a job
Start by describing what you need the strategist to plan, analyze, or optimize, along with your business context and timeline. A strong job post includes:
Scope of work and specific deliverables (audit, strategy document, launch roadmap, ongoing advisory)
Business context, such as your target audience, current channels, and growth goals
Timeline, milestones, and any upcoming launches or deadlines
Budget preference and whether the engagement is hourly or fixed-price
Required experience, such as industry knowledge, B2B or B2C focus, or familiarity with specific analytics tools
Use the Job Post Generator, powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI, to create a customizable draft. Describe your project in a few sentences, and Uma will generate a starting point you can refine. You can also reference this job description template guide for structure.
Step 2: Evaluate candidates
Evaluate marketing strategist candidates by reviewing how clearly they diagnose your challenge, explain their methodology, and connect recommendations to measurable outcomes. Focus on:
Case studies or portfolio samples showing strategic planning or measurable outcomes
Industry experience relevant to your market
Analytical skills and familiarity with tools such as Google Analytics, HubSpot, Tableau, or similar platforms
Proposal clarity, including how the candidate frames your challenge and approach
Client reviews that mention strategic thinking, stakeholder alignment, or adaptability
Job Success Score (JSS) and talent badges such as Top Rated or Rising Talent
Step 3: Interview your top selections
Interviewing a marketing strategist should test how they think about audience, channels, measurement, and tradeoffs. Use Instant Interviews to gather early responses, then schedule live conversations with the strongest matches. During the interview:
Share your business model, current marketing activity, and what you want to improve
Ask how they would approach audience research or competitive analysis
Discuss how they prioritize channels when budget or time is limited
Confirm how they measure success and adjust strategy based on performance data
For role-specific questions, see this guide on hiring marketing talent. You can also use Upwork's interview tools to keep candidate communication in one place.
Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work
Agreeing on scope before work starts helps prevent misalignment on deliverables, revisions, and payment terms. For strategy work with clear phases, fixed-price contracts with milestones can work well. For ongoing advisory work where priorities may shift, hourly contracts can offer more flexibility.
Before the project starts:
List final deliverables and what falls outside scope
Set milestones for fixed-price work or weekly expectations for hourly work
Define success criteria and review checkpoints
Confirm how files, data, and stakeholder feedback will be shared
Use Upwork's contract workroom to keep project documents, milestones, and approvals in one place.
How much does hiring a marketing strategist cost?
Hiring a marketing strategist often costs anywhere from about $1,200 for a focused audit to $25,000 or more for a broader strategy engagement with launch support, but total cost depends on scope, specialization, and how much implementation guidance is included. On Upwork, marketing strategists generally charge $20–$60 per hour, with a median hourly rate of $35, so project pricing usually reflects the number of research, planning, and review hours involved.
Audit and direction-setting
$1,200–$3,500 /project
- Marketing audit memo or presentation
- Prioritized channel recommendations
- KPI framework or measurement outline
Strategy build
$3,000–$8,000 /project
- Marketing strategy document with audience and positioning
- Campaign roadmap with channel and budget priorities
- Competitive analysis summary
Strategy plus launch support
$6,000–$25,000+ /project
- Channel-specific launch plan with messaging framework
- Implementation plan with execution guidance
- Performance review and optimization recommendations
Ongoing fractional support
$2,500–$8,000 /month
- Monthly planning sessions
- Quarterly strategy reviews
- Performance review decks with optimization recommendations
These ranges are directional rather than fixed. Actual costs vary based on industry complexity, research depth, timeline urgency, and whether you need strategy only or strategy plus stakeholder support. For more context, see marketing strategist hourly rates.
Frequently asked questions
Is hiring a marketing strategist worth it?
Hiring a marketing strategist is often worth it when your business needs better prioritization, not just more activity. The American Marketing Association defines strategic marketing as an approach that aligns marketing moves with big-picture business goals and aims to build a lasting competitive edge. That perspective makes the role especially useful for launches, market entry, repositioning, or underperforming campaigns.
The U.S. Small Business Administration says marketing plans should cover target market, competitive advantage, sales plan, goals, action plan, and budget. A strategist helps organize those decisions so spending and execution are more focused.
What should I include in a marketing strategist job post?
A marketing strategist job post should include scope of work, expected deliverables, timeline, business context, and whether the engagement is hourly or fixed-price. Strong posts also explain your audience, current channels, growth goals, and what success should look like.
What is the difference between a marketing strategist and a marketing consultant?
A marketing strategist usually focuses on planning, prioritization, positioning, and channel direction, while a marketing consultant may cover a broader mix of advisory and execution support. In practice, many professionals use both titles, so deliverables matter more than labels.
Should I choose hourly or fixed-price for strategy work?
Fixed-price contracts usually fit defined deliverables such as an audit, messaging framework, or go-to-market roadmap. Hourly contracts often fit ongoing advisory work, monthly planning, or discovery-heavy projects where scope may change.
