Keep an eye out for marketing campaigns that have caught your eye or seem to be successful. Find out if the work was done in house or by a marketing consultant.
 Hiring someone who is based in your area will allow you to meet face to face and work similar hours. Search online, in the phone book and by posting an advertisement for a project on Craigslist.


Although it may seem strange to consider hiring someone that you found on the Internet, all marketing consultants should have an online presence. Internet marketing is a large part of what they do, so it is the sign of a legitimate business. You should always vet your consultants carefully before hiring.
 These boards ensure you will only be speaking with people who work on a contract basis. You will need to specify where the person can be located, and arrange to tell the job specifications so that they can submit a proposal.
Ask for referrals from other businesses.
Contact local marketing consultants for bids.
Post your project listing on elance.com, ifindconsultants.com or other online freelance job posting boards.
