Most businesses have more marketing to do than people to do it. Posts don’t get written, campaigns don’t get checked and the website sits untouched for months. Hiring locally is slow and expensive, and hiring a stranger off a freelance site is a gamble.
Our remote digital marketers fix that. You get a dedicated, full-time marketer from our team in the Philippines or Australia who works only on your business. They handle the day-to-day work: content, campaigns, SEO tasks, reporting and more.
The difference is management. Our senior team trains your marketer, sets their priorities with you, checks their work and stays accountable for results. You get the output of an in-house hire, backed by an agency that knows what good looks like.
Remote marketers can be brilliant. Most arrangements fail for the same few reasons, and none of them are about talent.

We set goals, track the work and report on results.
Problem 06 of 06

How we do it
Access runs through your own accounts, with only the access needed.
Get the system right and a remote marketer becomes one of the best investments in your business. That system is what we provide.
A remote marketer is only as good as the system around them. We provide the system, so you get reliable output from day one.
And like everything we do, there are no lock-in contracts. We earn your business every month.
Your marketer is never on their own. Our senior team sets the approach, reviews the work and steps in on specialist tasks, from Google Ads to SEO.
We agree priorities and targets with you up front, so everyone knows what success looks like and what gets done first.
Campaign changes, content and reports are checked before they reach your customers. Mistakes get caught early, not after they cost you.
You always know who is doing the work, what they did this week and what is next.
What got done, against the priorities we agreed.
Leads, sales and cost per lead for the channels they run.
Posts, pages and emails shipped, and how they performed.
How quickly requests are picked up and finished.
Where you stand against the monthly targets.
What is coming up, so nothing slips.
Four parts, one goal: more marketing done well, without adding to your workload.
We match your marketer to the work you need done most. Common roles include:
On-page updates, content briefs, technical fixes and local SEO tasks, guided by our SEO team.
Day-to-day campaign checks, search term reviews, ad testing and reporting, backed by our Google Ads leads.
Campaign builds, creative testing and audience management for Facebook and Instagram ads.
Blog posts, landing page copy, emails and social captions written in your brand voice.
Planning, scheduling and community management across your social channels.
Product listings, store updates and promotions for online stores, including Shopify.
This is what makes it work. You set the direction; we handle the managing.
We train your marketer on your brand, customers, tools and processes before they touch live work.
We keep a clear task list, agreed with you, so your marketer always knows what matters most.
Senior marketers review important work before it goes live.
Regular catch-ups keep work on track and surface problems early.
Ongoing training keeps your marketer’s skills sharp as platforms change.
We plan ahead for leave so priority work keeps moving.
Your accounts, your data, your control.
Your marketer works inside your own ad accounts, website and tools. Nothing is locked in our name.
We set up access for the tasks at hand, and remove it when roles change.
Tasks are tracked in one place, so you can see progress any time.
Your marketer can join your email, Slack or Teams so they feel like part of the team.
Campaign results sit in a live AgencyAnalytics dashboard.
If anything changes, we document the work so nothing is lost.
You never have to wonder what your marketer is doing.
A short summary of what got done, what’s next and anything that needs your input.
A plain-English look at results, lessons and next month’s priorities.
Campaign results you can check any time in AgencyAnalytics.
We review and reset priorities with you as the business changes.
If something isn’t working, you hear it from us first.

You will see: a clear role description and first priorities.
We match a marketer from our Philippines or Australia team with the right skills for the role.
You will see: who will join your team, and why they fit.
We set up access, tools and reporting, and train your marketer on your brand and customers.

Good access to tools and product knowledge speeds everything up.
Matching the role to the work matters more than anything else.
Fast feedback keeps work moving.
We will always be honest about what a remote marketer can and can’t do for your business. If you need strategy more than hands, we will tell you.
You get two kinds of visibility: what your marketer did, and what it achieved.
Every task links back to a goal, and every goal links to results like leads, sales or rankings.
Short, clear updates you can read in two minutes, with a note on anything that needs your input.
For the channels your marketer runs, results sit in a live AgencyAnalytics dashboard you can check any time.
Both can work. The right choice depends on what you need done and how much time you have to manage it.
Full-time help without recruiting, payroll or day-to-day management. Our senior team trains, checks and coaches them for you.
Best for: businesses that need consistent execution across content, campaigns and SEO.
Someone in your office every day, fully part of your culture, but you handle recruiting, training, management and all the employment costs.
Best for: businesses with a marketing leader already in place to manage them.
Many businesses do best with a mix: a remote marketer handling the day-to-day work, with our senior team setting strategy and handling specialist jobs like AI search and web design.
A dedicated remote marketer works best when you have steady, ongoing marketing work and want it done properly.
Get a full-time marketer without the cost and hassle of a local hire. See small business marketing.
Keep listings, promotions, emails and ads moving every day. See eCommerce marketing.
Content, campaigns and reporting that keep your pipeline full. See SaaS marketing.
Consistent content and campaigns that build trust and bring in enquiries.
Steady content and campaign support, run within advertising rules. See healthcare marketing.
Listings, social posts and campaigns handled every day. See real estate marketing.
Content, LinkedIn and email support that nurtures long sales cycles. See B2B marketing.
Extra hands for an in-house team that has more ideas than time.
Thinking about a remote marketer but not sure how it works? Here is everything you need to know, without the jargon.
A remote digital marketer does the same work as an in-house marketer, just from another location. That can include writing content, managing social media, running ad campaigns, handling SEO tasks, sending emails and pulling reports.
A dedicated marketer works only on your business during your working hours. That is very different from a freelancer who splits their time across many clients.
Our marketers are based in the Philippines and Australia, and each suits different needs.
Many clients combine both: a Philippines-based marketer for day-to-day work, with Australia-based specialists for strategy and complex jobs.
Unmanaged staff come with a profile and a login. You do the training, the checking and the coaching. That works if you already have a strong marketing manager, and struggles if you don’t.
A managed marketer comes with a system: training, priorities, quality checks and a senior team accountable for the work. That is what we provide.
Start with work that is steady, repeatable and easy to measure. Good first jobs include:
Once the basics run smoothly, we add bigger projects.
Measure output and outcomes, not hours. Did the agreed work get done, on time and to standard? Did it move the numbers that matter, like leads, sales or rankings?
Our weekly updates and monthly reviews are built around exactly those questions.
Good security is mostly good habits. Give access through proper user accounts rather than shared passwords, give only the access needed, and remove it when roles change. Keep ownership of every account in your business’s name.
We follow these rules with every placement, so your data and accounts stay under your control.
Our PSRBL model covers the whole buying journey: Prospect, Search, Retarget, Brand and Loyalty. A remote marketer adds the hands to run it consistently, from scheduling the posts and emails that build Brand and Loyalty, to the daily checks that keep Search and Retarget campaigns efficient.
Our senior team sets the strategy. Your remote marketer makes sure it actually happens, every day.
Works only on your business during their working hours.
The provider handles training, management and quality, not you.
The setup and training period before live work starts.
Standard operating procedure. A written how-to for a regular task.
Key performance indicator. A number that shows progress towards a goal.
Giving people only the access they need for their work.
The hours when you and your marketer are both working.
The agreed list of work your marketer is responsible for.
Western Australia and the Philippines are both on UTC+8, and neither changes its clocks for daylight saving. If you are in Perth, your Philippines-based marketer works the exact same hours you do, all year round.
On the east coast? The Philippines is two hours behind Brisbane, and two to three hours behind Sydney and Melbourne depending on daylight saving. That still leaves most of your working day in overlap, with the late afternoon to get through the to-do list.
We see the same problems in most remote arrangements that go wrong. Flip a card to see how we fix it, and tick any that sound like you.
The cheapest option often costs the most in rework and missed deadlines.
New hires are thrown into live accounts without knowing the brand.
A long wishlist and no clear order, so the wrong things get done first.
Logins passed around in chats, with no record of who has access.
Work goes live without anyone reviewing it.
Your remote marketer never hears about launches, offers or feedback.
Timesheets fill up, but nobody knows what moved the needle.
Whether you work with us or someone else, ask these questions first.
If a provider can’t answer these clearly, keep looking. We are happy to answer every one of them on a strategy call.
Straight answers to the questions business owners and marketing managers ask us most.
It depends on the role and experience level. We will give you a clear monthly price once we understand the work. For many businesses it costs less than a local hire once you add recruitment, super, leave and management time.
No. They work through Anahaw Media Digital, so you don’t take on recruitment, payroll or HR. You get the output; we handle the rest.
In the Philippines and Australia. We match the location to the role, your time zone and the kind of work you need done.
Full-time hours aligned with your business day. Perth shares a time zone with the Philippines, and east coast businesses get most of the working day in overlap.
Yes. A dedicated marketer works full-time on your business.
We do. Our senior team handles training, priorities, quality checks and coaching, so you don’t have to.
Yes. Your marketer can join your email, Slack or Teams channels. We stay across the work and step in whenever needed.
Tell us. We will act fast, whether that means clearer priorities, more training or a better fit for the role.
Access runs through your own accounts with proper user logins, only the access needed and removal when roles change. Every account stays in your name.
Yes. Your marketer works in your ad accounts, website, CRM and project tools.
It depends on the role and how quickly we can set up access. We will give you a realistic timeline when we scope the work.
No. Our agreements are month-to-month. We earn your business by delivering.
Yes. Many businesses start with one marketer and add skills, like design or ads, as they grow.
Yes. Our senior team sets the strategy using our PSRBL model, and your marketer helps deliver it every day.

Your goals, the work you want done, access to your tools and a contact who can answer questions in the first few weeks.
