Marketing
LebSource gives you pre-vetted Lebanese marketing specialists who work your hours, own a channel properly, and cost a fraction of the equivalent European hire.
01
Marketing rarely fails for lack of ideas; it fails because one generalist is asked to run six channels at once. Outsourcing lets you put a genuine specialist on the one or two channels that actually move your pipeline, without carrying a full local salary for a function you are still calibrating. It also means you can test a channel for two quarters and stop, which is very hard to do with a permanent hire.
The comparison
The three realistic ways to add marketing capacity, compared on the things that decide whether it works.
In-house in Europe
Full overlap. Everyone is in the same working day
Far-shore outsourcing
A few hours at best; most questions wait until tomorrow
LebSource
Beirut runs on EET/EEST, so the working day lines up with Europe
In-house in Europe
Full local salary, benefits, payroll tax, and recruiter fees
Far-shore outsourcing
Lowest headline rate, but rework and management time eat the saving
LebSource
Up to 43% below the equivalent European hire, with no recruiter fee
In-house in Europe
One generalist stretched across every channel
Far-shore outsourcing
Often production capacity rather than channel ownership
LebSource
A specialist who owns their channel and reports on it
In-house in Europe
Same working day
Far-shore outsourcing
Overnight. A bad ad set can spend for a full day before it is paused
LebSource
Same working day
In-house in Europe
Native to your market
Far-shore outsourcing
Varies; localisation review is usually still on you
LebSource
English and French fluency, used to writing for European audiences
In-house in Europe
Hard to justify a permanent hire for an unproven channel
Far-shore outsourcing
Possible, but usually as project work without ownership
LebSource
Add a specialist for as long as the test runs
“Far-shore” here means a delivery team six or more hours from your working day. That is a statement about time zones, not about anyone’s ability, plenty of excellent teams work that way, and for well-scoped, low-iteration work it can be the right call.
02
Lebanese marketers are typically fluent in English and French, often with Arabic as well, and are used to writing for European and Gulf audiences rather than for a single domestic market. Combined with a working day that overlaps Europe's, that means campaign reviews, copy approvals, and launch-day fixes happen in real time, which matters when a paid campaign is live and spending.
Time zone coverage
Not a claim, arithmetic. Pick your city, then pick a far-shore alternative and watch the number fall.
Where is your team?
8h
of your working day shared with Beirut, every day, from Berlin.
09:00 – 17:00 your time
Based on a 09:00–18:00 working day at both ends and standard winter offsets, the conservative case, since summer time widens the European overlap rather than narrowing it. Overlap is the plain intersection of the two working days.
Before you start
Marketing outsourcing goes wrong when the external person is treated as production capacity, write these posts, build these ads. The specialists we place are hired to own a channel: its strategy, its numbers, and the honest read on whether it is working.
Most marketing teams are not waiting on more drafts; they are waiting on review cycles. A shared working day means copy, creative, and campaign changes get approved and shipped the same day rather than queueing overnight.
Fluency is not the same as knowing how your company sounds. Expect a genuine onboarding period on tone, positioning, and product detail. We plan for it rather than pretending it does not exist.

How it works
Step 01
A call or a written brief: what the person will own, what your stack is, and how senior you actually need. If the seniority looks wrong for the work, we will say so then rather than after you have paid for it.
Step 02
A shortlist, not a database dump. Everyone on it has been screened for hands-on skill and for how they communicate in English before it reaches you, which is why this takes days rather than months.
Step 03
You interview them the way you interview anyone else. Most teams run a short paid trial on real work before committing, and we would rather you did: it tells you both far more than another interview round.
Step 04
Your repository, your tracker, your stand-up, your definition of done. We handle the contract, payroll, and the administration around it. You manage the work, the same as you would for anyone else on the team.
Role finder
Most people arrive knowing the problem, not the job title. Describe the problem and we will name the roles that fix it.

FAQ
They own the channel they are hired for, including its reporting. If you specifically want production capacity rather than ownership, tell us and we will scope the role that way instead.
Many of our marketers are fluent in both, and Arabic is common as well. Tell us which languages the role needs and we will shortlist accordingly.
Through the same onboarding you would give a local hire: your positioning, your existing best-performing content, and a review loop on early work. The shared working day makes that loop fast.
Yes. Flexible engagements are one of the main reasons companies use LebSource for marketing. You can staff a channel test and stop when the test concludes.
