A senior interim director of viral marketing who steps in to lead your campaigns, social, and content engine full-time while you search for a permanent hire
Our interim director of viral marketing has led campaigns at the senior level, so you get a steady hand the day they start, not someone ramping on your budget.
The same leader owns the campaigns, the social channels, and the content engine while the seat is open, so reach keeps building instead of stalling.
We document the campaigns, the playbook, and the content calendar, so the permanent hire inherits a healthy engine instead of a backlog.
When a campaign leader leaves or goes on leave, the content engine cannot wait months for the search to close. An interim director of viral marketing steps in full-time to lead your campaigns, keep social moving, and hold the momentum while you find the right permanent hire.
You work with the leader who owns the campaigns, not an agency relaying a brief to a junior creator. The person who sets the campaign strategy is the one steering social and the content engine every day.
Reach drifts the moment the seat sits empty: campaigns go quiet, social slows, and the engine loses its spark. A senior interim director of viral marketing holds the line, so campaigns and momentum survive the transition.
We leave the engine better than we found it: the campaigns documented, the calendar organized, and the playbook clear, so the permanent hire starts ahead instead of digging out.
You get senior campaign leadership for exactly as long as the gap lasts, without rushing a permanent hire or leaving the engine unled.
We scope to running the content engine and protecting momentum through the gap, not a fixed pile of deliverables.
We scope to what the gap needs first, so senior attention lands where it keeps momentum moving.

Common questions from teams evaluating an interim director of viral marketing.
Engagements are scoped to the length of the gap and the work you need, not a permanent salary. You get a fixed scope after an initial campaign review, so you see the cost before anything starts.
They run the content engine full-time while the seat is open: campaign strategy, social, content production, and the team, plus a clean handover. It is senior coverage for the gap, not a freelancer on a single campaign.
Usually within days. Because our leaders have run the role before, they can step in and keep momentum moving quickly rather than spending weeks ramping.
