Agencies live or die on margins, and account admin eats them. A virtual assistant handles reports, scheduling and production, so your strategists can bill more.
Virtual Assistant gives marketing, design and digital agencies a dedicated virtual assistant from $280 a month. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
The problem a virtual assistant solves
Senior staff get pulled into reporting, scheduling posts, building decks and chasing client approvals. These tasks are necessary, but they take time from strategy and new business, and a full-time hire may be more than your workload supports.
What a normal week looks like with an assistant
Your assistant builds client reports, schedules social posts, resizes graphics, updates landing pages and chases client approvals. Work can be white-labeled under your agency name. You take on more accounts without adding as much overhead.

Why hire your assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps the business hours of your time zone. You get a person who learns your business, with a team behind them when something needs fixing.
- Your budget stays yours: You remain the account owner, and campaigns run inside the budgets and targets you approve.
- Know what you get: A Growth package typically covers 12 to 20 designed posts a month, plus community replies.
- Monthly or one-time: Keep a designer on a monthly package, or order a logo or brand identity as a one-time project.
- Free replacement: If your assistant is not the right fit, we match you with a different one at no extra cost.
- Clear prices, no lock-in: See your exact price before you order. Month-to-month packages can be cancelled any time, and unused hours roll over within your package limit.
- A US account manager: One person matches you, runs your kickoff call and stays your contact if anything needs fixing.
A virtual assistant or an in-house hire?
An in-house hire makes sense when the job needs someone physically on site. For work done on a screen or a phone, a virtual assistant usually costs far less, because you pay only for working hours, with no recruiting, desk, equipment or payroll taxes to arrange. You can also start with 20 hours a month and grow, instead of committing to a full-time salary before you know how much work there is.
