Contract Marketing Strategist / Growth Marketing Consultant

About Compose

Compose is a software development company that builds apps, websites, backend systems, and digital products for businesses, creators, and startups. We also build and launch our own products, including apps like Once Upon, an AI storybook app for kids.

We are looking for a marketing expert to help us improve how we market both Compose as a company and the individual products we build.

This is a 3-month contract role with the potential to continue if it is a strong fit.

About the Role

We are looking for someone who can help us build a practical marketing foundation across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and other relevant channels.

We already have some accounts and marketing efforts started, but we need someone who can help us organize everything, improve our strategy, create product-specific marketing pages and content direction, and teach our team how to think about marketing going forward.

This role is not just about posting on social media. We need someone who can help with strategy, messaging, setup, execution, and education.

You will help market both:

1. Compose as a software development company

2. Our products, such as Once Upon and future apps we build

Responsibilities

• Review our current marketing presence across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, website pages, and other channels

• Help define clear messaging for Compose and our products

• Create or improve product-specific social pages and content strategies

• Help set up, clean up, and organize Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and related marketing channels

• Create a practical 3-month marketing plan

• Help us understand what content to post, where to post it, and why

• Advise on organic marketing, paid ads, influencer outreach, and community-based marketing

• Help us create repeatable marketing systems we can continue after the contract ends

• Teach our team the basics of marketing strategy, content planning, analytics, and campaign execution

• Help identify target audiences for Compose and individual products

• Review analytics and help us understand what is working

• Suggest improvements to landing pages, bios, profiles, ads, posts, and funnels

• Help us avoid wasting money on random ads or unfocused content

Ideal Candidate

You may be a strong fit if you:

• Have experience marketing software products, mobile apps, startups, SaaS, agencies, or digital services

• Understand social media strategy across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and similar platforms

• Can help with both brand-level marketing and product-specific marketing

• Know how to create practical, realistic marketing plans

• Can explain marketing concepts clearly to a technical team

• Understand organic content, paid ads, audience targeting, and funnel strategy

• Are comfortable working with a small team

• Can give direct feedback and help us prioritize what matters most

• Are strategic but also willing to help with hands-on execution

Nice to Have

• Experience marketing mobile apps

• Experience with AI products or consumer apps

• Experience with creator or influencer marketing

• Experience setting up Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, or Reddit Ads

• Experience with landing page copy and conversion optimization

• Experience working with small businesses, startups, agencies, or founder-led companies

What Success Looks Like After 3 Months

By the end of the engagement, we want to have:

• A clear marketing strategy for Compose

• A clear marketing strategy for at least one product, such as Once Upon

• Organized and improved social media accounts

• Product-specific pages and content direction

• A repeatable content plan

• A basic paid ads or campaign strategy, if appropriate

• Better understanding of who we are targeting and how to reach them

• A team that understands marketing better and can continue executing after the contract
