B2B marketers employ freelancers to execute ‘brand design’ tasks over and above anything else, new data published by PeoplePerHour has revealed.

Meanwhile, over the past year there has been a 140 per cent increase in the amount of tasks marketers have executed using online marketplaces for freelance services.
Xenios Thrasyvoulou, founder of PeoplePerHour and SuperTasker, commented on the findings: “Figures from the PeoplePerHour site highlight that the areas B2B marketers are particularly looking for freelance support with are brand and web design.
“This means that these marketers are able to utilise the army of hyperspecialised freelancers now available through the web at a moment’s notice, rather than having to learn to code or use complicated design software. Freeing these senior marketers up to focus on more important tasks like the overall brand strategy, rather than worrying about the accuracy of their HTML code – which can instead be left to a true specialist.”
