What is a digital marketing consultant?
A digital marketing consultant advises on driving demand and generating revenue opportunities online.
Digital marketing consultants often specialize in either organic or paid media. Eric Schwartzman has digital marketing skills in paid and unpaid channels.
In digital marketing, organic media refers to natural search optimization, sharing content on social networks that drives user engagement, and getting others to write, talk and link back to a client's website.
Paid media refers to Google Pay Per Click Ads, Facebook Ads, YouTube Ads, Native Ads, and any other digital environment where clients pay to have their content featured.
Who is a digital marketing consultant?
Eric Schwartzman is a digital marketing consultant.
Clients hire me to help them increase revenue online through organic growth marketing programs that leverage owned, shared, and earned media marketing to grow market share.
As a former manager of a large B2B marketing team, I am a generalist with first-hand experience overseeing the implementation and development of enterprise IT solutions.
I'm also an expert in all of these areas:
- Digital Analytics - Because you can’t improve if you can’t measure.
- Marketing Automation - Finding warm leads based on digital interactions
- Website Performance - Maximizing site load speed to elevate rankings
- Search Engine Optimization - Boosting search rankings to get found
- Copywriting - Persuasive use of language to drive conversions
- Email Marketing - Personalized communications to nurture leads
- Content Marketing - Problem-solution storytelling to get shortlisted
- Blogging - Content authorship to build thought leadership
- Podcasting - Long-form content for community development
- Online Video Production - Shorter form content for community development
- Social Media Marketing - Social proof to add credibility and visibility
- Digital PR - Implied, neutral, third-party editorial endorsements
These are the disciplines required to execute an organic growth marketing strategy.
What does a digital marketing consultant do?
If you're new to digital marketing, owned media marketing refers to media you create and own, like websites, blogs, podcasts, videos, email newsletters, white papers, webinars, and events, and the tools you use to measure and optimize those assets.
Shared refers to social media and influencer marketing. I wrote a best-seller B2B social marketing.
And earned refers to guest blogging, media relations, industry awards, and public speaking.
I've overseen media relations at some of the most significant events, including The Academy Awards, the Olympics, and Star Wars Celebration.
In various capacities, I've been in digital marketing for over 20 years now.
I developed a proprietary methodology for sequencing initiatives to accelerate growth that I use to help clients implement digital marketing and digital transformation initiatives.
How much do digital marketing consultants charge?
According to 2019 research from Credo, the average worldwide rate for digital marketing consultants is $140 per hour.
For US digital marketing consultants, the average rate is $161 per hour.
But hourly rates can be tough on clients because the consultant has no incentive to work efficiently.
Rather than bill hours, I created the Outside Insourcing model to offer clients a distinct scope of work with specific deliverables on a flat-fee basis.
Advisor, Trainer, Facilitator, Coach
As a professional development seminar leader, I've led 2 and 3-day digital marketing communication programs in the classroom and the cloud for Boeing, Johnson & Johnson, UCLA and Toyota, and dozens of small and midsize businesses.
As a facilitator, I've led cross-functional teams at Fortune 500s, federal government agencies, military commands and B2Bs on enterprise software migrations and full life-cycle software-as-a-service product development.
As a coach, I've helped hundreds of startups, thought leaders and self-published authors take charge of their own digital transformation initiatives.
I've helped hundreds of individuals and SMBs increase their revenue without relying on advertising.

I’m a Los Angeles native with decades of experience disrupting B2B markets and challenging incumbents through innovative organic growth marketing programs, innovative full-lifecycle digital product development, and owned, shared, and earned media marketing programs.
What is a digital transformation?
A digital transformation is the transfer of a business process that occurs in the real world to the digital world, or improving existing business processes in digital environments.
The coronavirus galvanized teleconferencing and marketing automation software modernized customer prospecting from outbound to inbound.
Digital transformation initiatives impact people, processes and technology, usually in that order.
Examples:
- Artificial Intelligence
- CRM implementation
- Mobile app development
- Voice over IP integration
- Supply chain management
While the objective is often to disrupt an industry to grow market share, digital transformation initiatives can be very disruptive to organizations and individuals undertaking them as well.
For these reasons, the right leadership is a critical factor in minimizing the risk of failure. I have led digital transformation initiatives for enterprise-class software migrations from business requirements gathering, to vendor selection, implementation, quality assurance and user training.
But that's not where I started out. I began in marketing on the client-side as an early adopter of technology and have continued passing the envelope up until now.
Sometimes my friends ask me...
What does a digital transformation advisor do?
A digital transformation advisor minimizes the risk associates with moving traditional business processes to digital environments.
To do this, I gather stakeholder requirements, surface and memorialize stated project objectives, analyze the existing business process, create business process model notation diagrams to capture workflows and develop a functional specification that forms the basis of an RFP (Request for Proposal) to solicit bids from system integrators.
Using agile software development methodologies, I also have extensive Kanban and Scrum management capabilities.
By documenting the intended outcome and managing the configuration process, I improve the likelihood of successful software implementations and migrations.
