Hiring a Marketing Assistant:

What type of Marketing Assistant
do you need?

Marketing assistants differ by channel focus and by how much of the work is paid media versus content. Define the role by the channels they will touch each week. A marketing assistant supports a plan someone else owns, so decide who sets direction before you pick a type.

Start with the main channel focus

Pick one

Paid Media Assistant

Builds and monitors Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns from your brief, tracks spend against budget, and pulls performance reports.

Best for:

Teams that run paid campaigns but have no one to set them up and watch them daily.

Content & Social Assistant

Formats and schedules posts, publishes blog and landing page updates, builds email sends, and replies to routine comments.

Best for:

Teams that have content ideas but lack capacity to produce, schedule, and publish them.

Then add what else the role has to cover

Optional, and they stack

Marketing Operations Assistant

CRM updates, list hygiene, project tracking in Asana or similar, and weekly reporting in Looker Studio or Google Analytics.

Best for:

Lean teams running marketing on spreadsheets and manual reports.

Bilingual Marketing Assistant

Executes campaigns, content, and replies in English and Spanish.

Best for:

U.S. brands marketing to English and Spanish speaking audiences.

E-commerce Marketing Assistant

Supports store promotions, product listings, and email flows in tools such as Shopify and Klaviyo, plus ad reporting.

Best for:

Online stores that run frequent promotions and need steady upkeep.

Most hires are one from the first row plus one from the second. A bilingual paid media assistant for an online store is a single person, not three. Tell us the combination and we will screen for it. If you need someone to build the strategy, that is a marketing manager or specialist, not an assistant.

What this role is not

Marketing Manager

Strategy, channel choices, budget ownership, and team direction sit above this role. A marketing assistant executes the plan. If nobody is writing the plan, hire a manager first.

Marketing Specialist

A specialist owns a discipline such as paid media, content, or email, and plans and optimizes it with little direction. An assistant works from your plan and supports one or more channels. Hire a specialist if you need someone to decide, not just do.

Frequently asked questions

Start by writing down the channels, tools, and tasks you want covered, and who approves what. Then look for candidates with proven work in those tools, not a general marketing title. Wow sources marketing assistants across Latin America, screens them for the role, and sends a shortlist you interview directly. You decide the plan; they execute it inside your accounts.

The day is execution. Setting up and scheduling campaigns, supporting Google Ads and Meta Ads, formatting and publishing content, building email sends, updating the CRM, organizing assets, and pulling the numbers your lead needs. At the mid level they also coordinate freelancers and vendors. They do not decide strategy or own the budget.

Through Wow, $12 to $17 per hour at the mid level. A comparable U.S. hire runs about $28 to $31 an hour once benefits and mandatory contributions are counted. Rates vary by country, experience, and seniority. The salary guide linked below breaks the numbers down further, and you see rates before any interview.

It depends on whether the plan exists. If someone on your team already decides the channels, the budget, and the calendar, and the bottleneck is getting it done, hire an assistant. If nobody makes those calls, an assistant will wait for direction. Hire the manager first, then the assistant to give them capacity.

They can support them. Many assistants build campaigns from a brief, monitor spend, update ad copy, and report on results. Setting strategy, budgets, and targets is usually a specialist or manager job. If paid media is your main need, tell us, and we will screen candidates for that focus and ask for a platform exercise.

Access to your ad accounts, CRM or email platform, such as HubSpot, Mailchimp, or Klaviyo, plus your publishing tools and a design tool like Canva. Add your project tracker and analytics. What is most often missing is not a tool: it is a documented campaign process, brand guidelines, and a clear view of who approves what.

Yes, if you ask for it. Many candidates in Latin America work in both languages, which helps if part of your audience speaks Spanish. Tell us the level you need for writing and speaking and we will screen for it. English-first interviews are standard, so you can judge written and spoken English yourself.

With Wow, you receive a shortlist of pre-screened candidates within 3 to 5 business days of confirming the role details. Most teams interview in the first week and make an offer soon after. Start date depends on the candidate’s notice period and how quickly you provide access to your tools and accounts.

If the professional is not working out in the first two weeks, the 2-week satisfaction guarantee applies. After that, you can request a replacement at any time at no extra cost. Wow sources a new shortlist and you interview again. The guarantee is there to remove the financial risk of a misfit hire.
