For a long time, IT and Marketing seemed like natural enemies.

The stereotype exists for a reason. IT was the department of "No" because their job was to minimize risk and keep the servers running. Marketing was the department of "Now" because they wanted to move fast and spend money to get attention.

In most companies, these teams lived in different worlds with different budgets and different goals.

But keeping them separate creates problems.

Think about your current marketing strategy. Martech stacks, CRM automation, data pipelines, SEO technical audits, user experience tracking mean that marketing relies heavily on technology. A marketer needs effective infrastructure, and IT needs to support the tools that drive revenue.

The Problem with the "Ticket" Mentality

We have all seen what happens when these two departments fail to talk.

Marketing wants to launch a time-sensitive campaign, but they have to file a generic support ticket to get a landing page built. Two weeks later, the momentum is gone and the page finally goes live.

On the flip side, IT might roll out a strict new security protocol that accidentally breaks the marketing team’s analytics tools.

When data and communication live in silos, decision-making crawls to a halt. You need the stability of IT and the agility of Marketing to happen simultaneously.

How FlexHours Fixes the Disconnect

This is exactly why we designed the FlexHours model.

The old way of hiring vendors forces a difficult choice between a managed service provider (MSP) to fix your servers or a digital agency to run your campaigns.

FlexHours bridges that gap. It gives you a single, shared pool of hours that you can use wherever the fire is burning hottest.

Need to patch a security vulnerability on the server? Use the hours.

Need to design and launch a complex email drip campaign? Use the same hours.

Need to fix the API connection between your shop and your CRM? It’s covered. =)

It serves as a single system that understands both the technical backend and the business goals on the frontend.

Efficiency and Strategy

We want to help you move past corporate buzzwords and stop the endless game of telephone between vendors.

FlexHours saves you from explaining to a developer why a marketing pixel is urgent. You also avoid explaining to a creative director why site latency hurts your SEO.

When you align these functions, you get:

Faster launches: No waiting on "the other department."

Better data: Your analytics actually talk to your sales software.

Unified planning: We build the tech specifically to support the campaign.

Growth and Tech Are the Same Team

The most successful companies today view IT and Marketing as two parts of the same growth engine.

You can make this happen without restructuring your entire org chart. The key is to align your vendors so they actually talk to each other.
