Faqs

Once you’ve chosen a freelancer (s), we help get the paperwork in place, agree deliverables, and set up your preferred communication channels. We can also assist with scheduling regular check-ins, performance tracking, and adjustments to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Our rates are all-inclusive, meaning you don’t pay a separate sourcing or management fee on top of the freelancer’s rate. We work directly to your budget or, if you’re not sure what that budget should be, we can provide options and rates for vetted freelancers who can deliver your requirements.

Whether it’s a one-off project or ongoing monthly support, we’ll source freelancers who match both your needs and your budget, so you get the right person without overspending. This approach keeps costs predictable, transparent, and tailored to each client.

We work with businesses of all sizes and across most industries from start-ups and small businesses to established brands and agencies. Our clients typically need marketing support but don’t want to commit to full-time hires or long-term agency retainers.

In most cases, we can present suitable options within 24–72 hours of receiving your brief. Because we already have a vetted network, we’re able to match you with proven talent much faster than traditional hiring routes.

  • Human-led matching – No automated algorithms. We speak to you, understand your needs, and present carefully selected freelancers.
  • Flat monthly fee – Clear pricing with no hidden charges.
  • No long-term retainer – Flexible rolling agreements that adapt to your business needs.
  • No hiring overheads – Avoid the costs of full-time employment such as NI, pensions, and holiday cover.
  • Pre-vetted freelancers – We’ve already reviewed their skills, experience, and portfolio.

This means you get speed without risk and save the time you’d normally spend sifting through hundreds of unsuitable applicants.

Yes. If you specifically want a retainer or fixed-term arrangement in place, we can set that up for you. While our model is designed to be flexible, we understand that some projects benefit from having a freelancer secured for a set period.

Whether that’s a 3-month campaign, a 6-month fixed term, or an ongoing retainer, we can agree the terms with the freelancer from the outset.

Lead Kinetics is designed to be flexible.

  • One-off projects: Ideal if you need a freelancer for a specific campaign, product launch, event, or short-term assignment. We’ll source the right person to hit the ground running and deliver within your deadline.
  • Ongoing requirements: Many of our clients choose to keep a freelancer on a monthly rolling basis for consistent marketing delivery. This could include regular social media management, content production, paid ad campaigns, or SEO work.

Because we operate without long-term retainers, you can scale your freelance support up or down depending on your business needs without the overheads of hiring full-time staff.

Lead Kinetics connects businesses with vetted freelance marketing professionals across the UK and abroad. Our network spans the full spectrum of marketing disciplines from creative and content-led skills to more technical and analytical expertise.

We specialise in areas such as:

  • Social media management and content creation
  • Paid advertising (Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads)
  • SEO and website optimisation
  • Graphic design and branding
  • PR, copywriting, and content strategy
  • Video production and editing
  • UGC content and influencer outreach
  • Data analysis and marketing reporting
  • AI-assisted content creation, research, and campaign optimisation

Unlike algorithm-based platforms, we personally source, vet, and match the right freelancer to your specific requirements ensuring quality, reliability, and the right fit for your requirements.

Yes. We work with businesses on both one-off projects and ongoing monthly support. Whether you need help for a short-term campaign, product launch, seasonal push, or continuous marketing activity, we can match you with a freelancer who can deliver to your requirements.

Most of our freelancers are UK-based, ensuring they understand your market, audience, and cultural context. However, we also work with talented freelancers from abroad, and if your project requirements dictate that international expertise is needed, we can facilitate this as normal.

If you’re not 100% happy, we’ll work with you to find a replacement quickly, usually within a few days. Our flexible model means you’re never tied to someone who isn’t delivering.

Absolutely. Many clients come to us with a general goal (e.g., “I need to grow my social media” or “I want more website leads”) rather than a fixed brief. We can help define your requirements and suggest the type of freelancer who could deliver the best results.

Yes. If you have a tight deadline, we can prioritise your brief and fast-track our sourcing process. In urgent cases, we can often present suitable freelancer options within 24 hours, depending on the complexity of your requirements. Because we already have a vetted network of freelancers, we can move quickly without compromising on quality.

Absolutely. If your project requires multiple skill sets for example, a graphic designer, a copywriter, and a paid ads specialist we can assemble a small team of freelancers to work in coordination. We’ll make sure everyone is briefed and aligned so you get a seamless workflow, even if several freelancers are involved.

Yes. Many of our clients know they need marketing support but aren’t sure exactly what skills or deliverables are required. We can talk through your objectives, current challenges, and available resources, then help shape a clear, detailed brief. This ensures we match you with the right freelancer and set them up for success from day one.

Our freelancers are all pre-vetted for both skill and professionalism. They range from emerging talent through to seasoned specialists with 10+ years of industry experience. We’ll recommend the right level of experience based on your brief, budget, and the complexity of your project.

Yes. While many of our freelancers work remotely, we can also source professionals who are available for on-site work if your project requires it. We’ll confirm location, travel arrangements, and availability during the sourcing process to ensure there are no surprises.

Yes. If your brief requires sector-specific expertise, we’ll prioritise freelancers who have direct experience in your industry. Whether that’s food and drink, technology, beauty, finance, or another niche, we can match you with someone who understands your market, customer behaviours, and regulatory considerations.

Definitely. Many of our freelancers regularly collaborate with in-house teams, agencies, and other external suppliers. We ensure they have the communication skills and adaptability needed to fit into your existing workflow and work towards shared goals.

Yes. We can source freelancers who are fluent in multiple languages or have experience creating content for specific regional markets. This can include translation, localisation, and culturally relevant adaptation to ensure your campaigns connect effectively with your target audience.

Yes. Many of our freelancers are skilled in both strategic planning and hands-on delivery. If you need someone to develop a marketing strategy, content plan, or campaign concept before executing it, we can match you with a freelancer who has the right balance of creative vision and practical skills.

No. Our rates are all-inclusive, meaning the price you agree with us is the price you pay. There are no hidden sourcing or platform fees added on top. We work to your budget and only present vetted freelancers who can deliver your requirements within that range.

We negotiate favourable rates with all of our freelancers and those savings are passed directly on to our clients.

While some self-service platforms may appear cheaper at first glance, they often require significant time spent searching, vetting, and managing freelancers yourself, which can lead to mismatches, delays, or additional costs if the work needs redoing. With Lead Kinetics, that risk is reduced because we handle the entire process from understanding your brief to sourcing the right person, setting clear deliverables, and ensuring they integrate smoothly with your business.

Many clients find that the time saved, reduced risk, and quality of work make our service more cost-effective in the long run than going it alone.

Once you’ve approved a freelancer to work with, we’ll confirm the agreed rate and payment terms in writing. All payments are made directly to Lead Kinetics, and we then pay the freelancer. This ensures everything is managed in one place, keeps administration simple, and gives you a single point of contact for any queries.

We offer flexible payment options and can work with your existing invoicing cycles where possible. Whether it’s a one-off project or ongoing monthly work, you’ll always receive clear, itemised invoices so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

It’s simple:

  1. Book a quick call or fill in our online form.
  2. We’ll discuss your goals, budget, and timeframes.
  3. You’ll receive a shortlist of vetted freelancers to choose from.
  4. We help set everything up so you can start working together straight away.
