Leave Coverage
Being away from work shouldn’t create more work -
for you, your team, or anyone.
Maternity & Paternity leave Coverage
When Greenline Marketing started in 2019, it became apparent that there is a gap in the creative industry that allows professionals to take short-term leave - whether it be for maternity, paternity, military service, or health reasons - and truly step away from work. As Account Managers, Content Creators, Project Coordinators, Marketing Managers, Sales Reps, and more, we’re conditioned to believe that in order to take time off, we need to work ahead or ask our colleagues to shoulder the burden and take on our responsibilities. We have Clients that rely on us, marketing plans that need maintaining, and work that doesn’t allow us to simply press pause.
Relatable? We get it.
Greenline Marketing developed a Marketing Leave Coverage plan + process so that whether your family is growing, you’re experiencing a life change, serving our country, or health and personal circumstances necessitate a leave from work, you can confidently take a leave. Yes, we make it possible to truly step away and know that an experienced, knowledgeable expert will keep projects moving forward on your behalf. No more coming back to a mountain of tasks, no more replying to messages in labor (or the precious hours following), no more distributing work among an already busy team, no more hassle of onboarding a temp, and no more adding stress as a result of trying to relax. Greenline has you covered.
How does short-term leave coverage work?
First and foremost, we determine what level of coverage is needed, i.e. what are your current responsibilities and what workload will be managed? We’ll start by determining an estimate of hours needed each week and what work we’ll handle for you. After we agree upon the length of coverage needed and the retainer of hours for that period, we’ll map out a communication plan for stepping into our role. We typically ask for 1-2 weeks (though we know babies often have plans of their own) to work alongside you in an onboarding phase before you’re out, and 1-2 weeks to transition things back to you when you return from your leave. From there, we hit the ground running by assuming the position and working as part of your team. If it seems easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy… well, good! It should be.
We’ll let our Leave Coverage Clients Do the talking…
“Planning for maternity leave can be stressful for any team or organization, but especially for a small 10-person company and especially when the one heading out on maternity leave was a primary point of contact for many accounts. That’s where Greenline stepped in. They seamlessly transitioned into my role when I had my first baby and it truly made the time I needed to be away to care for and bond with my daughter pure bliss. I knew my clients and projects were taken care of and moving forward. Could not recommend bringing Greenline into the fold to cover for a maternity or short-term leave more highly. Their professionalism and willingness to learn the ropes and fill shoes is unmatched. It felt like they had always been a part of our team.”

"Our agency hired Greenline to support our HubSpot practice while I was on maternity leave. Emily and Bridget were extremely methodical in how they learned about our business and how to best service our clients. They made sure to integrate our approaches into their methods and follow our processes. When I returned from maternity leave, our clients had nothing but positive feedback for the Greenline team!"

“Greenline brought a calming expertise to what otherwise could have become a very chaotic and stressful season while our in-house HubSpot expert was away on maternity leave. They very quickly ascertained what we needed as an organization and began building the workflows, property structure, nurtures, etc. to get us there as efficiently as possible. I'm grateful to them for restoring my confidence in (the right!) marketing contractor partners.”
- Becky S., Data-Driven Director of Product Marketing
“Greenline Marketing came highly recommended as a contractor to fill in for our expert who went out on Family Leave. They immediately jumped in with the team and led us through a critical stage of development where we were porting multiple HubSpot instances to a single partitioned instance (a highly complex transition with a lot of moving parts). Their expertise and willingness to get the job done resulted in the successful transition of three major ports to the new instance. They are a pleasure to work with, super positive, and bring a ton of expertise and experience to the table. HubSpot Rockstar sums it up best!”
- David R., Chief Marketing Officer
“Greenline covered my maternity leave and continued to work with our team to support several complex migrations. The team was knowledgeable and had no problem tackling the nuances of our unconventional business structure. During their contract leave coverage, they kept project momentum during my leave, and when I returned, they worked incredibly hard to help us meet tight project deadlines. I highly recommend Greenline Marketing!”
- Janelle H., Senior Demand Generation Manager
