Let’s be honest! marketing your business these days can feel like trying to do the cha-cha in a minefield. SEO? Algorithms? Engagement rates? Cheers, Mark Zuckerberg, but some of us have a business to run. That’s where freelance digital marketing services come in, specifically, the kind you’ll find at Your Marketing Mate (hiya, that’s me, Kris!). Your friendly online freelance marketing specialist.
We’re talking smart, flexible, no-fluff marketing that works for you—whether you’re running a local café in Bury, a signage company in Wigan (👀), or a boxing gym in Bolton.
What Are Freelance Digital Marketing Services?
In simple terms, it’s like hiring a full-service agency—but without the massive invoices, the corporate waffle, or the endless chain of emails that could’ve been a voice note.
You get one marketing expert (ME👋) who can turn their hand to SEO, Social Media, Content, Paid ads, Email marketing—you name it. No office politics, no faff, just proper work that gets results.
My rates are typically usually cheaper than agencies as I don’t have the overheads or the expensive coffee to stock up on, well, I do like nice coffee and my days are usually sponsored by the stuff!
Why Freelancers Beat Big Agencies (Especially for Local Businesses)
Here’s why more businesses across Greater Manchester are ditching agencies in favour of freelance digital marketing services:
You’re not paying for someone’s posh office in London. You’re paying for real work, done by someone who actually understands your business.
You get to speak to the person doing the job. Not a ‘project coordinator’ who forwards your emails to someone else.
More bang for your buck. Freelancers have fewer overheads, so your budget stretches further—ideal when every penny counts.
We actually care. Freelancers thrive on word-of-mouth and results. When you win, we win. It’s personal.
