A Marketing Designer creates the visual assets a marketing team needs to ship campaigns: ad creative, social graphics, email templates, landing page imagery, sales decks, and brand collateral. They sit between marketing strategy and brand identity, translating messaging into work that performs in paid channels and on owned properties.
Hiring a Marketing Designer in the U.S. is significantly more expensive than in Latin America, with an average U.S. salary of $7,000 per month compared with an average Latin American salary of $2,300 per month, creating potential savings of up to 67%. Working with South gives you access to a vetted pool of LatAm Marketing Designers on contracts that handle compliance and payroll, with same-time-zone collaboration.
Yes. Marketing design is one of the most remote-friendly creative roles, and Latin America has strong designers trained on the same Adobe and Figma tools used by U.S. agencies. South contracts the designer locally, runs payroll and compliance, and keeps them in your time zone for real-time review cycles.
Strong portfolio with paid social and landing page work, fluency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, understanding of brand systems and typography, plus the judgment to design for conversion rather than for design awards. Senior candidates should be able to read a campaign brief and explain the design approach back in marketing terms.
Figma, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, After Effects for motion ads, Canva for quick collateral, Webflow or Figma for landing page mockups, Notion or Asana for brief intake, and Frame.io or Loom for review. Some teams also expect basic HTML and CSS for email templates.
A Graphic Designer is a generalist; a Marketing Designer specializes in conversion-driven creative for campaigns. A Brand Designer owns the visual identity itself. A Marketing Designer applies the brand to ads, landing pages, and emails that need to drive clicks and signups.
South vets LatAm marketing designers by reviewing portfolios, running design tests against real briefs, and checking communication quality with English-speaking marketers. You see a shortlist in seven to ten days, run your own interviews, and onboard in two to three weeks. South handles the contract, payroll, and compliance, plus a replacement guarantee.

The region has the perfect mix of everything you want in remote employees: English skills, shared time zones, hard-working, and depth of talent. They are already accustomed to working remotely for top US startups and Fortune 500 companies.
Absolutely! The US and Latin America have basically the same time zones. No Latin American city is more than two hours ahead of EST.
Every hire is sourced based on your exact needs. They will arrive ready to support your business right away. They can do basically any tasks done remotely, but we recommend starting them as support so your team has more bandwidth for high-value strategic tasks.
All types of roles - customer service, executive assistant, sales, accounting, email marketing, lead generation, content writers, operations, social media marketing, and more!
You can pay directly through us (most popular) or we can connect you with one of our payroll partners.
You don't have to deal with any American labor laws / taxes when hiring full-time remote contractors. They aren't US-based, so no visas or sponsorships to deal with either.
We recommend market pay which varies for each role. See our salary guide and success stories for some ideas.
Then, we have two different models:
Staffing (most popular) - We charge a small monthly fee for each employee's monthly salary to make the process hassle-free. The fee covers sourcing, recruiting, admin, payroll, compliance, ongoing support, and a free replacement if necessary at any point. There are no cancellation fees or minimum commitments. You only pay if you make a hire.
Headhunting - A one-time simple fee once we've found the perfect candidate. This comes with a 120-day replacement guarantee.
For both options, you only pay something if we find you someone great that you want to hire.
Yes, we only recruit for full-time and we strongly recommend full-time hiring if you can. Stability (full-time & long-term) is highly sought after abroad. The top caliber candidates are only looking for full-time work.
You're also going to spend time training and getting them up to speed on your processes. It would be a waste to do that over and over again with new people all the time.
We recommend training new hires on one thing at a time.
For example, once they get up to speed on lead generation, you can add the next role writing blog posts or whatever you'd like. You can definitely overlap roles until you have enough work for multiple people.
The cost of living is much less in Latin American countries. Many of our employees are able to own homes, raise families, provide for their parents, and have in-home help of their own with their salaries.
If you aren't happy with your hire in the first 120 days, we will work with you to conduct a second round of search for the same role for free.
Just email us at Hello@HireInSouth.com and we will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.
