Three numbers. Full picture.
Each metric paints a piece of your build-vs-subscribe decision.
In-house team cost
The combined salaries of every role you select, plus a 30% fully-loaded overhead (benefits, tax, equipment, management time) and your marketing software stack.
Teknon subscription
One monthly fee scoped to the roles you need. Each function adds its own coverage cost, with a bundle discount of 5% per additional role, capped at 20%.
Annual savings
The difference between building that team yourself and one Teknon subscription covering strategy, content, demand generation, design, and ops.
What one subscription replaces.
A functioning marketing department is never one hire. It's five-plus specialised roles plus a software stack, recruited, managed, and retained. Teknon delivers the same output as a managed service, amplified by AI.
Strategy & leadership
A fractional CMO-level lead setting direction, messaging, and quarterly roadmaps.
Content & SEO
Long-form content, search optimisation, and AI-search visibility that compounds.
Demand generation
LinkedIn, outbound, and paid campaigns filling the pipeline every month.
Design & creative
Brand assets, landing pages, sales decks, and campaign creative on tap.
Marketing operations
CRM hygiene, automation, analytics, and reporting that keeps everything measurable.
Tools & software
SEO suites, automation platforms, design tools, analytics, the stack adds up fast.
Where our numbers come from.
How our calculator assumptions compare to published research on marketing hires.
1.3× fully-loaded overhead
SHRM and industry data put benefits, payroll tax, equipment, and management overhead at 1.25–1.4× base salary. We use 1.3×.
3–6 months to hire, 6+ to ramp
The average marketing hire takes 40+ days to fill and two quarters to reach full productivity. A managed team starts shipping in week one.
Pricing scoped to your selection
Your subscription is priced per function covered, from a $1,500/month minimum, with a 5% bundle discount per additional role (up to 20%) as we run more of the department. Your consultation confirms the exact scope and fee.
Real teams. Real ROI.
“We were about to hire two marketers. The calculator showed we'd get a full senior team for less than one salary. Easy decision.”
“Ran the numbers, booked the call, had a strategy and content shipping within three weeks. No recruitment, no ramp time.”
“The estimates were conservative enough that I could defend them to our board. The actual pipeline came in above the projection.”

How accurate is this calculator?+
It provides conservative estimates based on industry benchmarks: market-average salaries per role, a 1.3× overhead multiplier, and your stated tools spend. It compares the cost of hiring that team in-house against one Teknon subscription scoped to the same functions. For a detailed analysis, book a 15-minute consultation.
What does a Teknon subscription actually include?+
A senior, AI-amplified team covering strategy, content & SEO, demand generation, design, and marketing operations. One subscription, one point of contact, weekly delivery, no recruitment or management overhead.
How fast do we see results?+
Quick wins land in the first 30 days. Meaningful pipeline movement typically shows in 60–90 days, and compounding content & SEO gains build from month three onward.
Is this right for early-stage companies?+
Yes, early-stage HealthTech teams benefit most: you get a full senior department for less than the cost of one senior hire, without locking capital into payroll before product-market fit.
What if we already have some marketers in-house?+
Teknon works alongside existing teams too. We fill the gaps, strategy, content volume, design, or ops, so your hires focus on what they do best.
Why not just hire freelancers?+
Freelancers solve tasks, not systems. You still manage, coordinate, and QA five separate people. Teknon is one accountable team with a strategy tying it all together.
From estimate to plan. In one call.
Pick a time and we'll validate these numbers against your actual situation, with a concrete 90-day execution plan for your market.
