What does a remote digital marketing specialist do?

A PartnerUp digital marketing specialist works only for your business. You direct their work day to day, the same as any team member. We recruit them, onboard them into your systems, and handle their pay, compliance and HR. They're not a freelancer juggling other clients, and they're not a rotating agency resource.
