What is an outsourced marketing department?
It's a full marketing team you rent by the month instead of hire. Complete Media has run this model for small businesses since 2002: one flat rate covers strategy, brand, website, creative production, advertising and reporting — no setup fee, no 12-month contract, and no enterprise retainer priced for a national brand. Plans start at $495/month.

Hire a department, or rent one
One employee, one skill set
A marketing coordinator costs $55–75k plus benefits and still needs a designer, a developer and a media buyer behind them.
A team, one invoice
Our plans put six skill sets on your account for a flat monthly rate — and nobody takes PTO on your launch week.
No agency markup games
You approve media budgets and see what placements cost. Our fee is the fee.
No 12-month lock-in
Month to month. If we stop earning it, you stop paying — that's the accountability most retainers remove.
Scales both directions
Busy season needs more, slow season needs less. Adjust the plan instead of hiring and firing.
Senior people, small accounts
Small business is our whole practice, so you're not the account that gets the intern.

Frequently asked questions
What is an outsourced marketing department?
It's hiring a whole marketing team — strategist, designer, copywriter, web developer, photographer and media buyer — as a monthly service instead of as employees. Complete Media has run that model for small businesses since 2002.
Is an outsourced marketing department cheaper than hiring?
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. We work month to month with no setup fee. You can pause or cancel any time — we'd rather keep clients by being useful than by locking them in.
Is this an alternative to big agency fees?
Yes. Big agencies price for enterprise budgets and staff accounts accordingly. We built flat-rate, all-inclusive plans so a small business gets senior attention without a retainer built for a national brand.
What's included in an all-inclusive marketing plan?
Strategy and planning, brand work, website design and hosting, creative production, advertising planning and placement, AI and automation help, and monthly reporting. Media spend and large projects are separate and always approved by you.
Do you work with businesses outside South Dakota?
Yes. We're based in Sioux Falls and support remote partnerships throughout the upper Midwest and beyond.
What happens in the first 30 days?
We audit what you have, interview you and your team, then deliver a written marketing plan with a budget and a 90-day calendar. Work starts as soon as you approve it.
Can you work alongside the person who already handles our marketing?
Yes. Plenty of our clients have an office manager or owner running things part-time. We take the heavy lifting and leave them the pieces they enjoy.
